Sen. Lindsey Graham to Obama: Hand Over Your Intelligence Briefings
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is calling on President Obama to hand over documents that show which intelligence briefings about ISIS he received and read."I believe that the presidential daily briefings could solve this problem," Graham said. Let us see what he was being told and make our own independent decision as Congress for oversight."
Graham noted that President George W. Bush handed over his intelligence briefings to the 9/11 Commission so what he saw and read could be documented.
"President Bush turned over his presidential daily briefings to the 9/11 Commission to make sure history recorded what happened on 9/11," Graham noted.
SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: When he says he did not refer to ISIS as the JV team in January because they're so powerful now, he's trying to basically walk back that statement. At the end of the day he wanted out of Iraq. The Iraqis were willing to leave troops behind, but he would never give them a number and now he's throwing the intelligence community under the bus. I believe that the presidential daily briefings could solve this problem. Let us see what he was being told and make our own independent decision as Congress for oversight. I'm worried that our intelligence community is not functioning according to the commander in chief -- or is the commander in chief not functioning? We'll never know until we see the information.
President Bush turned over his presidential daily briefings to the 9/11 Commission to make sure history recorded what happened on 9/11. Mr. President, President Obama turn those daily briefings over so history can adequately record what happened regarding the rise of ISIS. Did you miss it and ignore it? Or was it the intelligence community?
