Lawmakers: "Why hasn’t FBI talked to Benghazi player CNN found?" Jay Carney: "Um…..."

A good question, implicitly posed by the existence of a two-hour interview CNN got with a “person of interest” in the Benghazi attack now explicitly posed by a group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill:(Lawmaker: If CNN can interview Benghazi suspect, why can't FBI? - CNN.com)


A Republican lawmaker demanded Wednesday to know why investigators have not captured or killed any of the suspects in the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, pointing out that CNN was able to find a man who some say was the ringleader in the assault that left the ambassador and three other Americans dead.

Eight GOP lawmakers are asking that new FBI Director James Comey brief Congress within 30 days about the investigation. They say the administration’s inquiry into the September 11, 2011, attacks in Libya has been “simply unacceptable,” according to a draft letter obtained by CNN.​

“One of the pertinent questions today is why we have not captured or killed the terrorist who committed these attacks?” Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told reporters. “News out today that CNN was able to go in and talk to one of the suspected terrorists, how come the military hasn’t been able to get after them and capture or kill the people? How come the FBI isn’t doing this and yet CNN is?”​

No word on why CNN is sending assets all the way to Libya hot on the trail of a “phony scandal” when even the FBI has decided not to bother interviewing the principals. Some news judgment, guys. Sheesh.

Ed Henry of Fox News picked up the thread at the press briefing today, and was told, well, pretty much the exact same thing President Obama said after the attacks in September of last year:

One could say that the demeanor of this administration on Benghazi, including calling it now “phony,” has implied that if Republicans, conservatives, and legitimate reporters weren’t asking questions, no one would be.
 
There was a day, there was a time, and it wasn't that long ago where journalist would crucify an administration for this dramatic lack of effort. The idea that our government who can watch every key we touch on a keyboard can't find the man CNN found is just pathetic. The fact obama's machine has failed here and his supporters can't even comment except to say "Bush did this" or so and so did that is sickening.
