'Hell-bent': Graham, McCain threaten to stall Brennan nomination over Libya

Posted by
CNN's Ashley Killough

(CNN) – Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham have vowed to hold up a full Senate vote on CIA Director nominee John Brennan until they get answers about the U.S. Consulate attack in Benghazi, Libya.

"I'm not going to vote on a new CIA director until I find out what the CIA did in Benghazi," Graham said Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation."

After delaying a vote on Brennan twice, the Senate Intelligence Committee is scheduled to hold another vote on Tuesday.

Graham specifically wants to see the interviews of the survivors. While transcriptions were provided to the Senate Intelligence Committee - of which Graham is not a member - Graham said "everything was blacked out."

Grampy and his little sidekick are an embarrassment to not only the US Senate, but the human race in general.
