Benghazi Documents Available To Senators Only When They Are Out Of Town -- The Cable/Foreign Policy
Under pressure from senators, the State Department is allowing some lawmakers to look at cables and other documents related to the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, but only today and tomorrow, when most senators are not in Washington.
Congress is gearing up for a full week of Benghazi-related hearings next week, including a Nov. 13 hearing behind closed doors of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, led by Chairman John Kerry (D-MA). Kerry has written two letters to the State Department requesting congressional access to information and documents related to the circumstances leading up to and during the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens. Several sensitive documents have already been leaked to congressional offices and the media, so the State Department has decided to let some senators view Benghazi documents but not take them home.

My Comment: This is unbelievable .... so much for accountability and getting to the truth .... but considering how the administration has handled this case not surprising. And the idea that Sen. Kerry will be chairing these hearings .... while being rumored to be the next Secretary of State .... is such a gross conflict of interest that I do not even know where to begin. My prediction .... the leaks on this debacle will be starting again by next week.
