(9,463 posts)referred to by Sen. Kerry today during Kerry's confirmation hearing. I was told that they couldn't answer that question and was being given the run around. By now I was livid and shaking and I demanded to know why a person answering phone calls for Johnson couldn't tell me exactly what Johnson was doing during that briefing. The person couldn't answer me. I asked how they could be answering phones but have no answers regarding Johnson's schedule? I asked was he there right now and was told "NO" yet when I asked what he was doing right now, where he was, I was told he is in a meeting with his staff. What, a staff meeting but he's not in his office? Where is he having this meeting? "Sir, all I can do is take your message and pass it along but I can't guarantee a response." To which I replied that passing it along isn't answering a simple question: Where was Johnson when he missed the Benghazi briefing referred to by Sen. Kerry during Kerry's confirmation hearing this morning?
It was clear I had hit a brick wall and I ended up telling him that I'll be "writing this up" exactly the way he handled it and he tried to take my name and I said "I told you my name is (first name) and that Sen Johnson is a servant of The People and when The People call to ask exactly what our paid servant was doing when he should be working it doesn't matter what their name is because you're not going to call me back with an answer anyway". I told him if he had answers they wouldn't need to take my name and number. He said again "If I could just get your name..." and I cut him off and said "No, you can't. Goodbye."
