The original source for that assertion was Roll Call, right? I mean it is possible that Dale Kildee was notified but was smart enough to deny it. It's not like we have confirmation from the GOP members of the committee that they didn't tell the Democrat. Unless I've missed something, that is.
I just think with all this swirling around the Capitol we're going to see a lot of misinformation, which we've already seen with Boehner changing his story, right?
You are right that we have no confirmation that Kildee was not notified. That does make a big difference in my mind. If procedures were followed strictly and Kildee was informed, I see it as more a routine thing that no one was all that concerned about.
If they kept if from Kildee, I think it would be because they feared the info may very well be true.
