On Fox News Sunday, George Will was asked about the significance of the Benghazi memo. Specifically, host (Chris) Wallace asked about remarks by Charles Krauthammer comparing the discovery of the Rhodes email to discovery of the Nixon tapes. […]
“Rather less (significant) than the Watergate tapes, which showed a President at the heart of a crime wave suborning perjury and raising hush money and all the rest. …”

“...your top priority during the actual attack was the political debate for the next day....”
***********************************************************************
Actually, the first presidential debate was NOT the next day (September 12th) but was on October 3, 2012. That actually makes Obama’s (and Hillary’s) malfeasance even more reprehensible—if that’s even possible.
Refreash my memory ... how many died in Watergate?
Actually, the first presidential debate was NOT the next day (September 12th) but was on October 3, 2012.
Even worse, the "next day's" primary activity was a star-studded fund-raiser in Las Vegas.
Would the CIA run guns WITHOUT Obama’s approval? I doubt it.
I think he was referring to the amount of evidence linking both presidents to the crime... while evidence against Obama is building, it still is less than his voice being taped, as with Watergate... I may be wrong...
The trade for the Blind Sheik certainly makes sense but does not explain why 30+ CIA weapons experts were at the Annex.
I remain convinced Benghazi was a gun-running op to arm al-queda terrorists in Syria.
It would explain why obamatollah has silenced most of the 30+ witnesses to keep the gun-running op under the radar.

(CNSNews.com) - Former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova, who now represents one of the Benghazi whistleblowers, told a Washington radio station Monday that the real scandal in Benghazi is the theft of 400 surface-to-air missiles by some “very ugly people.” The Obama administration fears those missiles will be used to shoot down an airplane or blow up one of our embassies, he said.
Speaking to WMAL on Monday morning, DiGenova blasted President Obama for revealing, at his Friday news conference, the existence of a sealed indictment against a Benghazi suspect or suspects.
Then DiGenova added this bombshell:
“We had troops ready to deploy in Croatia to go (to Benghazi) that night of Sept. 11, 2012 to rescue Americans. We have learned that one of the reasons the administration is so deeply concerned — we have been told there were 400 surface-to-air missiles stolen, and that they are on or about in the hands of many people, and that the biggest fear in the U.S. intelligence community is that one of these missiles will be used to shoot down an airliner.”
DiGenvoa said the information came to him as a result of his legal representation of Benghazi whistleblower Mark Thompson.
“This information comes from former intelligence officials who stay in constant contact with people in the special ops and intelligence community. And it is pretty clear that the biggest concern right now are the 400 missiles which have been diverted in Libya and have gotten into the hands of some very ugly people. And they worried specifically, according to theses sources, about an attempt to shoot down an airliner.”

DiGenova says he doesn’t know if the missiles were physically at the CIA annex on the night of Sept. 12 — “but it is clear that the annex was somehow involved in the process of the distribution of those missiles.” The CIA annex in Benghazi apparently was gathering the Libyan missiles to be sent to an unknown destination.
Why did the Obama administration delay the entry of FBI investigators into Benghazi after four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed that night? DiGenova was asked.
“Because it happened before an election,” he replied.
DiGenova said the theft of the missiles continues to have a ripple effect: “This is why we shut down the 19 embassies recently. They were afriad that there was going to be a missile attack on one of the embassies. Remember, you can take a shoulder held missile and shoot it into an embassy, not just into the sky.
“What happened is, the reason they lied, about — in other words, remember the famous demonstration, and the phony video and all of that? That’s what this was all about. That’s why they’re so worried. That’s why they have lied repeatedly about what happened in Benghazi. Because they are now responsible for all of the stepchildren of violence that happens as a result of this. This is a very serious manner. And when you compound it with the flippancy of the president of the United States who talks about a sealed indictment to cover his fanny — to make it look like he’s doing something when in fact he has done nothing — we have reached a level of cynicism on the part of this president that is staggering.”
DiGenova says former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was sent out to lie on five Sunday talk shows, blaming the attack on an obscure anti-Muslim video, to cover up the real scandal involving the stolen missiles.
DiGenova said in revealing the existence of the indictment, the president “did jeopardize the lives of people who may be trying to find some people on the ground in Libya, and I assume that we do have somebody there trying to find some people, although with this president, you never know — because as you know, he doesn’t want to capture people, he wants to kill them, because if he captures them, he either has to try them — which is very hard to do — or put ‘em in Gitmo, which he will not do.”

I often tell people nearly the same thing. Nixon lied and tried to cover things up to protect his party and even the country. Clinton and now Obama, lied and covered up to protect themselves. So, which is worse from the individual perspective?
Nixon lied, and covered up about a burglary he ordered to an office staffed by Democrats: Nixon resigned, rather that choosing to submit to an Impeachment Trial. Nobody died.
Bill Clinton lied and was Impeached. Aide Vince Foster and Bureaucrat Ron Brown died.
B. Hussein lied, was AWOL, covered up and is proud of it. Four of his employees were brutally murdered in Benghazi, while Obama slept like a baby.
The whole Benghazi ambassador assassination could not have been done better had it been planned by the administration. Well, maybe they could have chained the former seals to their bunks.
No one died in Watergate. No advanced weapons made it to terrorists in Watergate. No Secretaries of State lied to us all in Watergate.
I guess you would also be showing your hand in destabilizing Muslim countries across the middle east in favor of the “Muslim brotherhood /al quads” cronies.
And a propeller beanie.
I would like to know what lies were told to Mitt Romney that kept him from hammering little Barry over this.
CFR...Council on Foreign Relations....their the controlled group for Presidents.
Check out some articles from a long time journalist in DC...Jon Christian Ryter.
Although I don’t always agree with Mr. Ryter, his understanding of how elections are done and who gets elected are astute.
With Watergate people went to prison any bets about the Benghazi mess.
I quite agree with you. There was a gun-running operation from Libya to Syria.
However, I don't believe the gun-running op was sufficient to justify investing in the specious "the video did it" cover-up. Any partisan accusation about the gun-running op could've been effectively deflected with two words: Iran-Contra.
Was not there an investigation of George H.W.Bush for allegedly flying an SR-71 to Iran just before the election in 1980?
Wasn’t the excuse for this the”appearance of impropriety”?
or do I now live in an alternate universe?
Never forget leftists like obamatollah & HELLry are not the brightest bulbs in the pack.
Vote fraud is illegitimate. Gun bans and registrations are illegitimate. Spying on our communications is illegitimate. Queer marriage is illegitimate. Undocumented aliens are illegitimate. Fatherless children are illegitimate. Prayer bans are illegitimate. The questions doctors now ask us are illegitimate. Obamacare is illegitimate. What else?
