Politics up to the Minute

From Liz Cheney's Appearance on "Morning Joe"

Did her father direct the CIA to not keep Congress fully informed?

"This is a classified program and he doesn't talk about classified programs."

"I was not in every meeting that my father had. I was not in most meetings that my father had."

"He doesn't comment on classified programs and obviously I am not going to comment on classified programs in his behalf."

Did he violate any rule or law?

"There's no evidence of that."

More quotes

Democrats aren't "up to handling national security."

"I think it does a disservice" to CIA, intelligence community "to politicize this issue,"

"The nation has been kept safe for eight years."

Congressional investigations over Bush administration intelligence programs  "weakens our ability to be able to win this war."

If Americans had a chance to weigh in on programs, she thinks "they would say yes" to maintaining secrecy.
