McConnell: Senate Dem Report 'Served Absolutely No Purpose' Besides One Last Attack on Bush

December 10, 2014

Sen. Mitch McConnell railed on the so-called CIA torture report issued yesterday by Democrats controlling the Senate Select Intelligence Committee.

"This is a Democrats-only report--it had no recommendations; it served no purpose other than to confirm what we already knew," McConnell said.

"The only result of this release is to endanger American lives around the globe right now, and the best evidence of that is Secretary Hagel–ordered a full alert after this came out to try to deal with the aftermath of it."

The only purpose the report served, McConnell said, is that it is "one last thumb in the eye to the Bush administration."
