This past Sunday, on CNN’s State of the Union, host Candy Crowley does her best to tie the discredited CBS report on Dylan Davies’ actions in Benghazi to the White House’s denial of access to witnesses for testimony before Congress.
She makes the argument that possibly now Graham would wish to back off on his position of holding up nominees until the White House provides the witnesses for testimony. Graham holds firm and disputes any linkage between the two. He’s been asking for over a year for access, independent of the 60 minutes report, and the report is irrelevant to his position.
He says he met with the State Department this past Thursday and discussed a bi-partisan approach for the White House to provide access to five surviving Americans in order for the Senate to obtain testimony.
When pressed on whether the holds remain in effect, Graham agreed that, aside from two ambassadorships which were allowed to go through, the hold remains until the testimony is permitted to take place.
While I rarely agree with anything that Lindsay Graham says or does, his own political pressure may be forcing him to act in a manner that is compliant with the wishes of the citizens of South Carolina and the U.S. in general.
This doesn’t atone for his support of Al Qaeda in Syria, or the amnesty Gang of 8, never-ending wars, or the myriad of other Democrat-compliant positions he has taken. He’s making himself useful, in regards to this one important issue, for now.
