Sen. Durbin On Benghazi: "The Witch Hunt Continues"
Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) debate congressional oversight of the Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
DICK DURBIN: Bob, let's start at the beginning. What you're reading is emails provided by the Obama administration, 25,000 pages of email. There's no attempt to cover it up. Secondly, this was a squabble between two agencies, the CIA and the State Department, about the wording. The person representing the State Department happened to be Victoria Nuland who has worked for Democrats and Republicans alike, at one time worked for Vice President Cheney. So she's certainly not a partisan in this exchange about how they're going to term this. Now, when it gets down to the point that Senator Ayotte made about Secretary Clinton, let me tell you, there are two things you should remember. First, there's been breathless non-stop coverage of this issue by FOX from start to finish, and second, when the Washington Post looked at the assertion as to whether Hillary Clinton should be held responsible and what came out at the hearing, they awarded it four Pinocchios, which means the lowest level of credibility that you can possibly have. It is unsubstantiated, and yet, the witch hunt continues.
