20. The assessment was made after the fact. No one died "for getting wrong"

This entire imbroglio is a made-up load of horseshit courtesy of Loudmouth Peter King--who is being shown to be a politicizing asshole who doesn't know how to use a phone to get a briefing, and who instead goes on CNN and falsely accuses a UN ambassador of stuff she didn't do.

He had the info at his fingertips--a phone call away. Apparently, he's the only Homeland Security Chair in the world who doesn't know how to use a telephone and the power of his office to garner information from other branches of government.

Instead, he grandstanded for his little pal Mittsy. Pretty fucking sleazy. Point at him and mock his dumb ass.
