And because a foreign country made an inquiry, I have to believe that he was on a list and they're lying through their teeth.
Can you imagine if this sort of thing happened more than 4 years into the Bush administration? There would be demands for hearings, investigations into why the bad guys were not stopped earlier, howling over how they failed to keep Americans safe etc. If any Republican were to dare to say anything now about the current administration’s failures they probably would be condemned and told not to bring partisanship into this.
