Hillary Clinton Testimony at House Select Committee on Benghazi, Part 1

Re: Hillary is getting hammered hard! Fun times!

The problem with this committee for the "Republicans" is that no absolute smoking gun has been found.

Without a smoking gun, it does seem like an attack on Hillary, and I do not like her one iota.

This hearing may end up helping her.
 
Re: Hillary is getting hammered hard! Fun times!

I think that the lie about the video is all this committee has got. And that is something everyone knew going in. I hate to have to agree with liberals here, but this hearing and investigation is a complete waste of time. Frankly, I never understood the interest in Benghazi from the start. If they were going to have a committee investigating something 50 times, they should have investigated the IRS.

Clinton is handling herself just fine. The liberals on the committee are making asses of themselves but what else is new. The republicans don't look much better. I think this whole thing could have been wrapped up in a few minutes. Never has so much been made of so little by so many.

Well then you are not watching close enough. Nor are you privy to the countless testimonies they have already taken from the CIA, DOD, FBI, NSA. They are asking the questions, Hillary is answering and it will all go to the rest of the gathered information. Pity the administration couldn't have been forth coming with all the information. Pity it took outside organizations suing for the emails. Pity they decided to conger up a story about a friggen worthless video as the cause when it is now being reported that over 70 incidence of violence against Americans in Libya had taken place up to the point our ambassador was asking for more security. WTH?
 
Re: Hillary is getting hammered hard! Fun times!

Cool.


For details on that weird incident: It was the night of the NH primaries, where she won in 2008. I attended the Clinton gathering election night at the behest of my partner. She is a Clinton fan. Not I, (still not, though impressed with her today) -- but joined in the electricity of the First in the Nation Primary evening.

I was next to a State Senator while waiting for Hillary to show up... my partner was on his other side.

There she was, making her rounds. Bill and Chelsea next to her....

Hillary see's the Senator, who she apparently was very friendly with -- and at the exact moment just before she goes to hug him, I reach to my partner to hand her the camera. They embrace. My arm is now wedged between Hillary and the Senator. They did not even seem to notice, engaged in hugging conversation.

I'm looking at the Secret Service who is looking at me carefully. I have a helpless look. "what do I do????"

"just pull your arm back slowly" said SS dude.

I couldn't. It was stuck -- they were so engaged and joyous and preoccupied by the moment -- so I stood there until they separated.

No big whoop or anything, but watching her now, I can't help but think of that night.

Does she have breast implants? :)
 
Re: Hillary is getting hammered hard! Fun times!

Lies that matter--Trading weapons for hostages

Lies that do not matter--covering up that someone got a blow job

Lies that matter--Bush and Cheney starting a war about WMD in Iraq.

Lies that do not matter--Hillary saying the attacks in Benghazi were due to a video

Funny how GOP folks always ramble after lies that mean little or nothing.


Lies that matter---Lies that are told while under oath. The crime is perjury. Perjury matters.
 
Re: Hillary is getting hammered hard! Fun times!

I would not care if it was politically motivated. I just want the committee to get to the bottom of it and get all of the questions answered.

No you don't. Your screen name clearly shows that "getting to the bottom of it" is not your objective.

You can't prove anyone committed perjury, including Mr Blowjob.

OK, so what is it the Hillary is supposed to have done that is so interesting? Im sorry, I just don't get it.
 
Yeah, listen to his voice rise, listen to the pitch of his voice, he is so angry and has nothing.

Hard to say who is the worst clown, Jordan, Roby or Gowdy. They are the three stooges.

You may not like this process. But it is how our government works.
If Clinton is innocent and truly did her best, that will come out.
If the American public believes her, she may become the next President boosted by this hearing.
 
Faux news deeply traumatized and has completely abandoned Hillary coverage. Moved on to other faux news.
 
Re: Hillary is getting hammered hard! Fun times!

What we need is someone to take office who can rally their side to battle these idiots known to all as Republicans. Hillary will do that. She has balls. You all are going to regret waking that sleeping giant. I can see it already.

Hillary has balls? Yikes! I am relieved that I will never have to see her in the nude.

Maybe the better question you should be asking yourself is why she blamed everything on a f-ing video about Mohammed made by a Coptic Christian and posted on YouTube that most knew nothing about?

Protestors in Cairo the day before seemed to have heard about it.
 
Re: Hillary is getting hammered hard! Fun times!

I didn't watch the hearing...in all it's worthless glory.

nothing can come from this stuff.... there is no such thing as accountability for the political class, so it's all just theater for the " my team rocks" lemmings.

More of that intelligent, deep analysis.

Look, I agree that that is a legitimate line of questioning. But they spent very little time on that and most of the day on everything else. But again, we knew the video story was a lie right away. This committee didn't expose that lie. Everyone already knew it.
 
I can't believe the Republicans are so dumb as to give Hillary this opportunity to show the country how well she can handle pressure and practice being on the spot. Bernie wishes he could get this much facetime on Primetime.

That's what I thought, how could they give her this much face time to look presidential... do they not think ahead?

They are RINOS. This whole thing is probably about getting her elected and marginalizing Trump. You watch howdy and Clinton will be seen at dinner later tonight :)
 
Re: Hillary is getting hammered hard! Fun times!

No, no. Bush was President of the United States during that time period, when we went to war. You GOPers need to be consistent. If Hillary was in charge of the State Department during the Benghazi debacle and needs to be held accountable, according to you, then so does Bush, for the Iraq war.

Sure. And all the congress members that voted to go to war, not only once, but twice, right?

What are you talking about? I am the farthest from a Clinton fan but this panel has been political from the beginning. They have even admitted such.

Political? Oh heaven forbid! Politics going on in DC.
Oh heaven forbid! Politics being conducted by congress members!

If the parties were reversed, it would be exactly as political as it is now. Grow up. Neither party is any better than the other one.

Wait, I thought Bush " lied ". No ?

And the BIG difference between Benghazi and Iraq is the Democrats tried to cover their mess up with blatant lies and misinformation

Even going as far as lying to the Parent's of one of the Seals who lost his life in Benghazi. Hillary did that.

So Bush went to war after Democrats voted FOR the Iraq Resolution.

The Obama adminstration Foreign policy decisions in Lybia were not voted on and the GOP had nothing to do with the outcome

Indeed. Most accurate this summary.

Clinton told Chelsea the night of the attack that it wad a terrorist attack, NOT a protest over a YouTube video.

The next day she told the Egyptian PM that the attack had nothing to do with the video.

When she met the coffins of the 4 Americans who lost their lives she told the Father of one of the Seals who lost his life, " We are going to find and prosecute the man who made that video "

Hillary is a unmitigated low life for doing that and more.

From the night of the attack the Obama adminsistration and Hillary Politicized the deaths of those four Americans.

And again. Batting 1,000 on this one you are. :mrgreen:

Im pretty sure no one but us is even following this. But I bet they know all about some celeb coking out in a brothel.

Sad that. Just one thing. Which is sadder? :confused:

She is coming off as a dishonest and very stupid woman. And when cornered, she drifts off into subjects that have absolutely nothing to do with Benghazi or her emails. One example today was when she invoked "No wmds in Iraq". Yet she is was one of the wmd hawks who voted to authorize the war in Iraq.

True, she voted for the military action, and now pretending that everyone won't remember that fact.

But then Bush did not blame the 9/11/01 attacks on a youtube video.

That's for sure! As I've said, this is a real sore spot for me. I mean, after all, how dishonest can you get? How untrustworthy can you get?

Really? The hearing is still going on and I just watched Hillary stuck between a rock and a hard place by the female former prosecutor, and Republican on the committee. I watched earlier Gowdy set up several questions that have been unanswered and the Hill kept repeating the same talking points. Nah she isn't "owning these blithering clowns" that's just wishful thinking on your part. Earlier today the rep from Ohio called her out for her false narrative over the attacks on Benghazi to be over a YouTube video on Mohammed created by a Coptic Christian that no one knew about. Hillary along with Obama sent out Susan Rice that following weekend to make the same claim on all the political talk shows on Sunday. It was a friggen lie. Maybe you should start to ask yourself why did they have to lie to cover it up? Over 70 heinous attacks were reported in the area prior to the killing of our ambassador and 3 other brave Americans with numerous requests for additional protection that they did not receive.

Indeed. As I've said, a sore point with me.
 
Well, you really got us there. Kevin McCarthy is secretly in control of the RNC, the House, Trey Gowdy, and the entire committee. Yes, he is the mastermind in control of everything on the right, kind of like Darth Sidious in Star Wars. Acting like a dummy and saying stupid things is just a cover. Damn!
Not me Buckeye- your 2 republicans that stated such.
