George Will On Benghazi: ‘Rather Less Significant’ Than Watergate
The Right Scoop ^ | May 4, 2014 2:23 PM | Caleb Howe

Posted on 05/05/2014 1:59:46 AM PDT by Olog-hai

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. …”

Thats exactly what happened. Obama, inflated by his own ego, was powned by Ansar Al Sharia.

Obama and Hillary committed treason,,, and doubled down on that treason by planning to let all Americans be killed in Benghazi...no witnesses you see, but 3 brave men refused the order to stand down and messed Obama and Hillary up, and as a result, saved about 30 US staffers who have been gagged by Obama.Most likely have been reposted in hazardous duty overseas after receiving their promotion to shut them up.

All three of them deserve the highest posthumus award available to them.Obama and Hillery deserve the shaft for betraying America and those four who died.

Exactly. It’s been 2 years and we still don’t know who the witnesses are and, to my knowledge, they have not testified to anyone? Obviously there has been a huge effort to hide them.

Your questions must be answered.

An obvious oversight, which they may or may not regret.

‘Your questions must be answered.’
I would like to be the investigator for the committee and be able to ask the questions. I am old, broke down, with little to lose. I would tear them a new one and I have enough guts to do it.
Thanks, I hope they are but have my doubts, hope Trey gets the job, he has a set, unlike 90% of the GOP. I meant 95%.

That would explain so much!!.....the kidnapping, if exposed, would be an impeachable/treasonous offense that could NEVER be explained away!!

...the gunrunning, which I believe happened, is a crime but very minor (ie: Iran-Contra) compared to kidnapping..

IMHO they will give up the gunrunning if they have to, to keep "deep cover" on the kidnapping plot...

Again....all of this is just speculation...but it does have a thread of logic running thru it

Krauthammer’s the guy who made the Watergate comparison, so methinks Will is feeling a bit of rivalry against his fellow network contributor.

And on the fox news panel where George minimalized Benghazi, Krauthammer immediately rebuked Will.

Ha. When a RINO charges a RINO, I guess we’ve got to approve.

George Will On Benghazi: ‘Rather Less Significant’ Than Watergate

Will finally must have been hit rather hard on the head by a foul ball.

Watergate resulted in no deaths.
Of course, if they are someone else's deaths, perhaps he shares The Hillarybeast's indifference to them.

IMHO The missiles were just one covert operation....explaining why and how is hard but not impossible

Explaining why extra security around the ambassador was refused and even drawn down is entirely a different matter...there was no reason to do that when the missile running ops was going well...

Could there have been a separate "2nd OPPERATION" to kidnap the Ambassador and exchange him for the “blink shiek” or worse...off the ambassador because he knew too much??

To tie the documented, intentional security lapses and put the Ambassador in that position in Benghazi (on 9/11 no less) might have another sinister answer that would be a huge bombshell but would make sense...

Its just speculation of course but to try to make sense of what we actually know you have to speculate as to why things went down as they did.....long before Benghazi there was much talk and speculation of releasing the Sheik..

Yes I saw that. Krauthammer said that the first thing Will did when he bought his house was to install a ramp so that he could have dinner there.

Charles has done a 180 on Benghazi. A week or so ago he said it was politically over.
