Krauthammer: Obama Can’t Cover Up VA Mess Like “Past Scandals”

“They’re using the stonewall playbook that worked in the other scandals,”Krauthammer said about Team Obama tonight on “Special Report.” “The reason it could work with Benghazi is because you could say ‘We’re having an investigation, so we can’t talk about it,'” and “there’s no source of outside information other than the investigation.”

But with the steady drip of VA-related bad news, Krauthammer says Team Obama can’t hide from the VA debacle. “Here you get every night, a relative of someone who’s died, who is on the list, who is suffering, giving testimony as to what actually happened. So, to say ‘we can’t know what happened unless there is an investigation or until it comes in,’ is simply untenable.”

Krauthammer also said the Obama White House will “cave” on keeping Secretary Shinseki in place and will eventually give him the boot.
