In a statement released Tuesday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) telegraphed that he would delay the confirmation of President Barack Obamas CIA nominee John Brennan if the White House fails to answer questions about the Benghazi attacks.
"I do not believe we should confirm anyone as Director of the CIA until our questions are answered," he declared.
Mr. Graham said that any effort on his part to delay the confirmation process was not directed at Mr. Brennan but rather was meant to get to the bottom of intelligence failures involved in the Benghazi fiasco.
Senate rules allow any United States senator to block a potential nominee from proceeding to the Senate floor by placing a hold on the nomination.
"We were first told the Director of National Intelligence deleted the al Qaeda reference in the talking points because they did not want to let al Qaeda know we were monitoring them," said Mr. Graham.
"We were then told the FBI changed the talking points so as not to compromise an ongoing criminal investigation," he said, adding that even later, officials "clarified it was the CIA who had changed the talking points.

Linseed must be taking vitamin Butch pills.
**WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**
As usual what he THREATENS and what he actually DOES are worlds apart.
Lindsay getting his pink lace panties in a wad means he’s seen polling numbers out of SC telling him to do so.
I'm tired, People. Tired of the same talking faces yammering incessantly about nothing just so they can say something that is utterly meaningless to passify us 'stupids'. In my book, stupid is as stupid does, and these do nothings deserve not a piddling ounce of our respect. NONE!!!
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Redface? Why yes.

I’d say the orchestrated multi-player cover-up after the fact is grounds for removal from office, wouldn’t you?
Is this Lindsey Graham guy running for re-election next year.....
I still remember good ole Arlen Specter got the conservatives angry with him for taking out Judge Bork for Supreme Court, so before 1992 Arlen “got religion” and went to bat for Clarence Thomas taking out Anita Hill.
I guess RINO Graham is using Benghazi-gate to get us all to like him and the folks back home in South Carolina ready to vote for him again.
I can’t get excited about Graham although I am angry about what happened at the consulate last year.
Sure. But FIRST THINGS FIRST! Why the need for ‘talking frikking points’ in the first place???
The Senate girlymen send out their ball girl to taunt the other team, how embarrassing .... again.
And where are the approximately 40 individuals who were rescued and why can’t Congressional investigators talk to them?
"What is the one question that will not be asked at any of the hearings on Benghazi?"
