From the October 2 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show:

SEAN HANNITY: Let's walk through where we are with the Benghazi Committee. I know my interview with Kevin McCarthy got picked up by a lot of Democrats. And Hillary Clinton was commenting, “Oh, that just proves the entire Benghazi investigation was politico, uh, political.” That's not true. Now he has since classified the remarks, and revised and extended them, if you will.
