In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) John McCain chose to battle the WH over Susan Rice and Benghazi. Well within his prerogative. So he schedules a Press Conference and starts demanding answers about the WH handled the attack. He asked Congress for a Watergate-style hearing (which his GOP committee chairperson Sen. Susan Collins later nixed). Ok, but again, he can do that if he wants. In another part of the building at the same time, there was a 2-hour classified Benghazi briefing to his Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. The presenters were officials from the State Department, the Pentagon, the CIA and the National Counterterrorism Center. 5 of the 8 Repub committee members skipped the briefing, and 2 of the 9 Dems skipped as well. Sources said senators were briefed Wednesday by a number of officials from the State and Defense departments and the intelligence community: Kennedy, the undersecretary of State; Eric Boswell, assistant secretary of State for diplomatic security; Michael Sheehan, assistant secretary of Defense for special operations; Maj. Gen. Darryl Roberson, vice director of operations for the Joint Staff; Henry Hollatz, deputy director of Intelligence; and Linda Weissgold, director of the CIA’s Office of Terrorism Analysis. But he's not done yet. CNN producer Tom Barrett stops him in the hall and starts asking why he skipped the briefing, and McCain got a wee bit testy. The whole audio clip is near the bottom. His office said it was a scheduling error. Edited November 16, 2012 by In-A-Gadda-Levitre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
