“I have concerns about what agencies knew what and the fact that it wasn’t shared,” BoehnerJohn Andrew Boehner Cruz hits back at Boehner for telling him to 'go f--- yourself' John Boehner tells Cruz to 'go f--- yourself' in unscripted audiobook asides: report Cancun fallout threatens to deal lasting damage to Cruz MORE told reporters, “But I think our committees in the coming days and weeks are going to get to the bottom of this, so we’ll have real facts at our disposal to determine whether, in fact, it is true, and if it was true, why the information wasn’t shared.
“You know, if the information’s good enough for one agency of the government, why shouldn’t it be good enough for other agencies of the government?” Boehner asked. “We’re going to get to the bottom of this.”
The Speaker was also asked about criticism levied by two senior Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee about a pattern of missed signals by the FBI in attempted terrorist attacks in recent years.
“It clearly raises some serious questions,” Boehner said.
“I don’t want to get into the business of indicting agencies or agency heads until we have all the facts, and there may be facts that support each of these five cases,” he added, “but I, like my colleagues and I think the American people, want to understand exactly what happened and what didn’t happen and hold those responsible if in fact there were opportunities to stop these people and they didn’t do it.”
