BAIER: Was the president in the Situation Room?
VIETOR: No.
BAIER: Where was the president?
VIETOR: In the White House.
BAIER: He wasn’t in the Situation Room?
VIETOR: At what point in the evening?
BAIER: Any point in the evening.
VIETOR: It’s well known that when the attack was first briefed to him it was in the Oval Office and he was updated constantly.
BAIER: So when Hillary Clinton talks to him at 10:00 p.m., he’s where?
VIETOR: I don’t know. I don’t have a tracking device on him in the residence.
BAIER: But you were in the Situation Room and he wasn’t there.
VIETOR: Yes, I was in the White House.
BAIER: And the president wasn’t in the Situation Room?
VIETOR: Not in the room I was in. Let’s just be clear. You don’t have to be in the Situation Room to monitor an intelligence situation.
You gotta give Vietor a break. This was 2 years ago, and he was… What? Ten years old at the time? He hasn’t had time to learn to lie properly. Great sit-room graphic!
I love your work. You are funny, talented, and smart.
Thanks very much!
