After reviewing new information released by the White House on Feb. 26–information intended to put some distance between CIA Director nominee John Brennan and the Benghazi attacks–many Republican Senators are now persuaded that Brennan may have had a role in crafting the talking points to describe Benghazi as a protest gone bad.
After seeing the information, Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) said simply: “Brennan was involved.” And Senator James Risch (R-ID), said the new information “did not alleviate [his] concerns” in the slightest.
Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Susan Collins (R-ME) both expressed similar concerns.
Perhaps even more telling, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) seemed to admit Brennan was involved in some way in the crafting of the talking points by excusing any part he played as “small.”
