Krauthammer on Intel Chief Dodging Questions: If You’re Going to Testify, Speak!

‘I hate to say it, but it’s Clintonian’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BAIER: "They pressed and pressed and pressed. They wanted to find out about specific conversations. On one hand, they have a point. They didn't exert executive privilege. They went to testify under oath and they wouldn't answer yes or no, did the president say this? But they answer broadly on the overall question."
KRAUTHAMMER: "I think the advantage here is to the senators. If you're going to go up there and say I refused to talk about what was said, then invoke executive privilege. But to say I don't think it's appropriate, I think the senators are right. On the basis of what? If you listen to what the intelligence chiefs were saying, they were saying we were not directed. To the language "Directed." This is a lawyerly stuff. I hate to say it but it's clintonian. Depends on what "Directed" means. Sounds like it's very crafted. Let us know, otherwise if you're going to testify, speak."
