On this specific investigation here. all the news coming out not just on the post headline, but additional reporting. do you think it's helping the investigation the fact that there is such a spotlight on this story? >> it probably is. the new york post even wrote a story about all the outrage and about the new york post story and the headline that is a clever thing for tabloid newspapers to do. we saw the other competing tabloid in the new yo"new york new news". taking shots at the post. even though there is a media angle, i think it putting more attention on to the investigation. >> back to ...

Thank you so much for making the time. >> thank you. s.e., to his point, if she has serious national security concerns, can't you go about it in a less public way? she and the other members of congress. there are ways to approach this if you have real evidence, if you believe that there is some substantive reason to believe this. >> they didn't go on the tonight show. they sent letters to various security agencies. if i'm not mistaken, most of us would not have known this story had john mccain not taken to the floor and broadcasted the story out. you know, you can say that michele bachmann l...
