robby is a hillary clinton's former campaign manager. scott is a former special assistant to president george w. bush. thank you both for coming on, gentlemen. >> thanks. >> thank you. >> so, scott, i'm going to start with you. should republicans who wanted answers about benghazi be just as intent on getting answers about niger? >> sure. i think we should get answers about what happened. but i think we need to do so under the framework of understanding that we have a lot of personnel in africa. it's clear that the fight against isis, al qaeda, and other terrorist elements is moving into the continent of africa probably more than we know right now. i think there's a lot of sensitive national security issues at play, and one of the things donald trump talked about during his campaign was not telegraphing to the enemy what we're doing and where we're doing it. so i think as we seek answers here, we have to be careful that we're not exposing our personnel in africa to harm's way. >> do you think that's fair, robby? >> well, first of all, i think we'd both agree our condolences
