Napolitano Won't Admit Muslim Brotherhood Leaker

DHS Commissar Janet Napolitano won't admit that a Muslim Brotherhood Member leaked classified information.

Well, actually, that's not entirely true.  At the 2:50 mark she gives herself a perjury out by the qualification "as far as I know...." to which Representative Gohmert's no-brainer followup question should have been, "How far is that, Madame Oberfuehrer?"  Given that none of these animals ever officially know anything when they smell accountability in the remote vicinity, despite otherwise staking claim to veritable omniscience, that could have been a fascinating line of inquiry.

As it was, the entire eight minute exchange boiled down to, "Did this Muslim Brotherhood operative download classified information?" and "You're an infidel Islamophobe."  And while I can't blame Gohmert too much for getting escalatingly pissed at Nappy's smugly superior moral preening, particularly when everybody in the hearing room knew she was stonewalling and that there is nothing House Republicans can do about it, I still wonder if he didn't play into her hands with his overt display of anger, in a "Methinks thou dost protest too much" sense.  In short, Napolitano provoked Gohmert and in so doing created a distraction from his intended line of inquiry.  Some Vulcan-like calm and single-mindedness would probably have better served that purpose.
