They don't know how to close.

He had her right where he wanted her. All he had to do is close with one powerful question,

"Let me make sure I understand. As Director of National Intelligence, your testimony is that there was nothing classified in that text stream. In that case, you will have no objection if we obtain that information through our own means and make it public, is that correct?"


He got to that point, but failed to force her to answer the question. She would have screamed "You can't release that information !!!!!" And then we'd be right at the meat of the matter. From there the media would be asking, "If it isn't classified, then why can't the public see it?"

(I bet the committee already has that text stream.)
