Cover-up

It was in the summer of 1972 that the Watergate break-in occurred and Nixon was paranoid about the upcoming November elections. Instead of just explaining that some of his underlings screwed up and taking the blame he went into cover-up mode. The same thing happened with the Benghazi incident. It happened just before election and Obama was in a panic thinking that the Republicans would use this incident as evidence that he was weak on defense and thus the cover story that has caused so much trouble for Secretary Clinton. In politic s like any other business the cover-up is often worse than the crime.
