Kerry: I think it was very clear… were you at the briefing with the tapes?
Johnson: No.
Kerry: Well, there was a briefing with tapes, which we all saw—those of us who went to it—uh, which made it crystal clear.

This must be the same Benghazi briefing that Sen.

This may have something to do with why McCain grumpily defended Johnson today, or not.
