Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) called for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) to allow the Senate to take part in the Benghazi Select Committee Wednesday on Fox News.
McCain said allowing Senate participation will lend credibility to the committee and is appropriate because members such as himself, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.), and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) have been involved in the issue from the beginning. The Arizona senator cited his September, 11 2012 Face the Nation interview after Susan Rice appeared in which he cast doubt on her assertion Benghazi was a spontaneous attack.
McCain also added he was friends with Ambassador Chris Stevens and has participated in extensive meetings with individuals such as Mike Morell and David Patreus about Benghazi.
However, McCain noted, "pigs will fly" before Reid will approve the Senate to take part in the Select Committee.
Should the GOP take the Senate in 2014, the former GOP presidential candidate pledged he along with prospective committee chairs Sen. Richard Burr (R., N.C.) and Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.) will vigorously pursue the Benghazi investigation.
