Investors Business Daily has an editorial about how the order to stand down wasn’t given by any elected official in the chain of command, but by a civilian advisor to the President; namely, Valerie Jarrett.
Dr. Charles Krauthammer says that what we know about the Benghazi scandal is the tip of the iceberg.
Columnist Charles Krauthammer said recently on “The O’Reilly Factor” that the “biggest scandal of all” regarding that Benghazi slaughter has yet to emerge.

Dr. Charles Krauthammer says it was Valerie Jarrett who gave the "famous" stand down order at Benghazi.
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.
The Iranian-born Jarrett (her parents were American-born expatriates) is the only staff member who regularly follows the president home from the West Wing to the residence and one of the few people allowed to call the president by his first name.
Her influence is shown by an account in Richard Miniter's book "Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him."

Where does Krauthammer say Valeria Jarrett gave the "stand down" order????
Can't find it anywhere...
I took specific notice, because most people are aware that the very idea that a "stand down" order was given has been debunked by the GOPs own hearings and resultant testimony?
CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES CLOSE TO CONSERVATIVE REPORT HAVE CONFIRMED THAT VALERIE JARRETT WAS THE KEY DECISION-MAKER

It has already been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that logistical, military support could have been offered and was recommended by those with intimate knowledge of the situation.
These statements are facts.

These statements are facts. That being the case, the only question left is..... Why?
