There is someting in courtroom practice called testimony that is "fruit of the poison tree". That means that if a witness story starts with a lie about being somewhere when there is proof that he wasn't there, then everything he says is suspect because it is only fruit from that poison tree. That's what the guy being interviewed did. He lied and said he was there when he was not. He'd told the FBI that he was not there. CBS or any media outlet should investigate the veracity of a person before broadcasting an interview with them.
Just like Hannity should have investigated the claims those people he interviewed made about how bad Obamacare is. When an independent investigator looked into their claims, they were proven false. I'm not holding my breath for an apology from Hannity for misleading the public at worst or being a lousy journalist at best, however.

The guy said he was there when he was not. The interview was on Thursday and retracted on Friday but Benghazi was a long time ago so one liar does not make the issues go away. If that were true we would no longer have Obamacare.

Doesn't matter lie or not the Republicans and the tea party will believe the lie because they want to. Fox is a network who's job it is to make a lie look plausible.

All of it. The guy who co-wrote the book and gave the interview fabricated the entire story. He was not there. He told the FBI the same.
