Valerie Jarrett Gave Benghazi Stand-Down Order (Possibly)
Investors.com ^ | August 7, 2013 | Editorial

Scandal: The omnipresent power behind the throne some have called the president's Rasputin had the power to call off three strikes against Osama bin Laden. She may have used that power again the night four Americans died in Benghazi.

The Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack on our diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, came while America failed to mount a rescue mission despite sufficient time and assets. Included in that disaster were the unaccounted whereabouts of President Obama during eight critical hours, the lack of Situation Room photos, the failure by the president to follow up with subordinates before his trip to Las Vegas and the fabricated story that the whole thing was prompted by an Internet video.

Columnist Charles Krauthammer said recently on "The O'Reilly Factor" that the "biggest scandal of all" regarding that Benghazi slaughter has yet to emerge.

"I think there is a bigger story here ... 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?"

The columnist noted: "He had a routine meeting at 5 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."

One of the people Obama always talks to is Valerie Jarrett. She emerged from the same Chicago cauldron of radicalism where Obama got his ideological baptism.

I dont think it was VJ. My vote is Clinton called the shots, or lack of shots, as the case may be.

This is not really even news. Val/Jar has been running the show at the WH for some time now probably years.It's simply not zeros job he couldn't run it if he had to.
Remember we are dealing with dictatorial people that make their own rules and create their own laws and then obey whichever ones they like at the time.

What does her job description say? Are we paying her?

Fox News showed a clip tonight of Hillary at a podium speaking, with Obama off to her right looking on. With the wind in her now long hair, all I could think of was Medusa.

It’s my take that Jarrett is taking heat now so as to clear Hillary for the run.

Not likely. The Chicago thugocracy hates bill and hill. They basically put up with one another but not by choice.

It's more likely that CIA is taking the full hit for all of the goings on at Benghazi. Its just too easy.

All they do is blame everything on an op they won't eve have to disclose/acknowledge although it has leaked all over,(and we thought we were so cunning to discover the arms smuggling by Stevens. It was meant to be discovered all along IMHO!!,) the gunrunning done by Stevens.

Once its CIA nobody has to say anything about any of the event that happens.They can all hide behind secrecy. Right up the regimes alley.

If you check into it Jarrett even has Secret Service protection that’s quite a feat for an “aide”.

You bet we’re paying her, just like Holder.

I appreciate the comments, because what you say does make a certain amount of sense. I just don’t think you can lay off goings on at the operations center of the White House as the CIA bungling things.

I have this sneaking suspicion that the CIA isn’t about to lay down and roll over for Hillary either. We’ve already seen some rumblings, and it hasn’t gotten down and dirty yet.

Strange as it may seem, I’ve seen a lot of folks take the hit for the Clintons. At this level, I think it goes over the Chicago thugocracy pay grade.

The cia was probably involved,almost had to be. They were doing the smuggling along with Stevens. But the puppet master from what I have read for the most part was Hillary.

There you go. This was about her speed alright.

Now the only question is, does Jarrett take the fall, or can they push it off on someone else?

Right now odds on favorite is Jarrett due today’s rumor mill giving her credit for the stand down order.

You may wind up being right here. We’ll see.

Even though its mostly all hillary's doing I think both hill and jarrett decided to throw it all on the back of the cia. With petraeus on the ropes it was pretty easy to do. Just put one of their own,or a blackmailed version thereof in current cia chief John Brennan and tell him what to do.

If former FBI agent John Guandolo is correct(and there is all kinds of nasty allegations about him,Guandolo, telling me he's probably on to something) sometime in the 90's Brennan turned muzzie. If so he could easily be blackmailed by the regime. It's what they do best.

If she’s employed by the taxpayers, she should have a job description. The press should ask for it.

How hard is it to ask for a job description? The press is not used to asking Democrats real questions. They’ll have to start with the easy ones.
