Dick Durbin: Senate Intel Committee a ‘Graveyard for Investigations’

‘Their hearings are largely in secret’

EXCERPT:

DURBIN: "I served on the Intelligence Committee for 4 years. There are some excellent members of the Senate House who are members of that committee. But the Intelligence Committee is a graveyard for investigations. And let me tell you why; their hearings are largely in secret. The public will not have access to the testimony. When it came to Benghazi, the Republicans couldn’t wait for public hearing after public hearing, investigating Benghazi over and over again. And second, any report from this Intelligence Committee is likely to be highly redacted and censored. And the way to remove the censorship so the public can read it is to ask the permission of the White House. That is just incredible, to think that that’s where the investigation takes place and president will have the final word on what the American people will learn."
