Why didn't he just say "No, we didn't hear anything?"
When asked if McCain overheard anything, Charlie Black, a McCain adviser who was with him at the time, told CNN: "We were in motorcade until 5:30 p.m. ET; then a holding room in another building with no TV."

Has the McCain camp denied getting information, or are they still sticking with the bizarro-world assertion that information cannot penetrate a secret service motorcade?
Those McCain staffers really are a bunch of slimeball liars. Another huge, balls-out lie spewed shortly thereafter by Nicole Wallace:
"The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous," Ms. Wallace said
Wow. Scumbag. The patented GOP crap - trying to project McCain's dirt onto this opponent.
You see, Nicole, it's not the Obama campaign calling McCain a cheat and a liar.
IT'S ME! Liar. Liar. Liar.
We all know where Nicole learned how to lie. She learned from the master - Karl Rove! And the Bush family! (And probably her parents as well. Republican family values!)
The Bush-Cheney strategy table was in Karl Rove's dining room. Literally.
Every weekend of 2004 beginning in February, the Bush-Cheney high command would gather at Karl's house in northwest Washington for an hour and a half of strategic planning. The regulars at the table were BC04 Campaign Manager Ken Mehlman; White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett; BC04 Campaign Strategist Matthew Dowd and his deputy, Sara Taylor; Mark McKinnon, director of the ad team; BC04 Communications Director Nicole Wallace (who was at the time Nicole Devenish) and press secretary Steve Schmidt (a barrel-chested guy with a shaved head whom Karl nicknamed "Bullet"); Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's chief of staff; and longtime Republican strategist Mary Matalin, who was the vice president's former communications director.
With the exception of Wallace, who had come to the White House from Florida Governor Jeb Bush's office, and Schmidt, who'd been communications director at the National Republican Congressional Committee, every single one of the people at that table had been centrally involved in the 2000 campaign. The Bush campaign nucleus was a coherent unit of people who were loyal not only to the president, but to one another.
This group became known internally as "the Breakfast Club" because we would meet on a Saturday or Sunday at around 10:00 AM, and for breakfast Karl would whip up his patented "eggies," a very tasty, cholesterol- laden dish, served with mounds of thick slabs of bacon. The meetings remained a well-kept secret for more than five months before a July New York Times feature on the campaign revealed their existence, complete with photos of the participants and disclosure of the "eggies."
