reported from those private conversations. we don t see any action. congress still out the next few days and the white house is going to the approach of maybe reaching out to rubio over in israel and getting lyndhursta graham on the phone, mitch mcconnell, john boehner, but let s take a look at what s coming next week. we have the hagel confirmation vote on tuesday and we had the real shift from the republicans of senator richard shelby of alabama saying he would step in line to vote and confirm hagel as the next defense secretary. this is a big shift because 15 republicans want obama to drop hagel completely. ted cruz leading the charge here. your take on this and the fact that we ve seen republicans, three of them with shelby, johanns and cochran get onboard with hagel? they should be credited for
may go to the white house and pressure them to drop hagel, we ll see. there are two tracts, objection toz hagel himself and record in the past and using it as leverage to git more ve - get more information about bengazi. you think bengazi is it answered it would help approximate hagel to sail through or the delay in time will bring up more time to dig up more things about him? state your namely some people who oppose hagel and try to dig up more information on him. failing that even if they don t get the answers in bengazi, a lot of senators and republicans are uneasy of blocking a nominee for defense secretary . i would say that unless really damaging information on hagel comes out, that his nomination will be confirmed when they get back from recess the week after next. we should know in a couplev weeks, chris, thanks.
