Columnist Charles Krauthammer on the “O’Reilly Factor” Tuesday night said the “biggest scandal of all” regarding the Benghazi attacks on Sept. 11, 2012, has yet to emerge.
“I think there is a bigger story here, here’s the one that will in time come out,” Krauthammer said. ”The biggest scandal of all, the biggest question is: What was the president doing in those eight hours?”
“He had a routine meeting at five o’clock. He never after, during the eight hours when our guys have their lives in danger, he never called the Secretary of Defense, he never calls the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, he never calls the CIA Director,” Krauthammer continued. “Who does he call? About five hours in he calls the Secretary of State. And after the phone call she releases a statement essentially about the video and how we denounce any intolerance. It looks as if the only phone call was to construct a cover story at a time when the last two Americans who died were still alive and fighting for their lives. There’s the scandal and that has to be uncovered.”
Krauthammer’s thoughts come as the Obama administration is in the throes of several other scandals, including the IRS targeting conservative groups and two cases of the Department of Justice conducting investigations into leaks that involved obtaining Associated Press reporters’ phone records and the emails of Fox News reporter James Rosen.

I pray for that day!

Nothing touches Obama, nothing...
D' ain't not nuttin that will get this sock puppet out of our White House. His handlers will not leave. Their little wooden head dummy is here to stay.
O, that would be a happy day.
Only Reggie "The Body Man" Love knows for sure.
Ummmmm.... I hate to be the debbie downer here, but unless Obama is caught with a dead girl or live boy he’s not going anywhere. Even then I’m not sure. We have a mass media that has too much invested in him to have them call him Barrack Millhouse Obama....
You are delusional.
Nixon was only missing 18 minutes.
Impeachment File on Benghazi Coward B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, a legal citizen of the sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
Just like Mafia crews eventually turn on one another, such a revelation on a lame duck Barry would likely come from other Dems trying to position themselves to seize control of the party.
If this was Nixon or Bush they would be DEMANDING 24/7 to know “what was the president doing?” for that time
Sadly Dr. K. is onto something. He is a brilliant thinker and writer.
Nixon was hounded by the press...that is not happening to thewon.
Usually true.
He may be reaching a bit on this theory.
In Nazi Germany thay called it “working toward the Fuhrer”.
This is an interesting point. We have compared Obama to Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, etc., but the comparison that comes to mind reading Krauthammer’s piece is Ted Kennedy.
Ted Kennedy’s crime was not only driving a girl off of a bridge, but spending hours on the phone sobering up and covering his backside while Mary Jo was still alive.
Obama did ??? while the terrorist attack was in progress, leaving the ambassador and others to die when something could have been done.
Maybe Benghazi is Libyan for Chappaquiddick .
“Nothing touches Obama, nothing...”
Totally agree. And while I blame the media, the stupid, uninterested public shares some of the blame.
I cannot find words to express my hatred for the traitorous media.
