What is curious is why isn't Petraeus testifying? The CIA had prime responsibility for knowing the terrorist situation in Benghazi. Why isn't the Secretary of Defense testifying? The Pentagon had the prime responsibility for security in Benghazi. Why are they studiously avoiding mentioning that ambassador Stevens himself made the decision to leave the secure embassy in Tripoli and travel to the unfinished, insecure consulate in Benghazi. Nope. None of those guys is a democrat running for President. The leading questions that are asking are so transparent, they must think the public is stupid. This joker that was on about a hour ago droned on and on about his "theory" about how Hillary was taking a "victory lap" while Benghazi burned, asked open questions and answered them himself, and when he finally allowed her to respond he interrupted all of her answers before she could finish to ask her another one. They've got nuthin' and it shows. They aren't even trying to be unbiased. They aren't even trying to elicit testimony from Hillary. They are grandstanding and clearly trying to make a political spectacle out of this hearing. Nobody could possibly miss it or misunderstand their motives. The GOP is as subtle as a monkey throwing turds in the zoo. Benghazi stumbling along and taking longer than Watergate is sinking Republican credibility now, not Hillary's. This committee is crashing quickly and the election is still a year away. They can't drag it out any longer.
What video do they keep talking about? @red55 do you know? Admittedly I have not followed much of this from the start.
I didn't see it but instead of her being questioned by politicians they should have gotten a skilled prosecuting attory to cross examine her and ask the right questions. A good prosecutor can make any answer you give look like a lie and it wouldn't be hard to expose her massive deceit
It's an attempt to smear a political opponent that could be beaten if their candidates ran for President instead of running against Hilary Clinton.
Maybe. Or maybe it was just one of those snowballing clusterfucks that happen sometimes. Shit happens that no one anticipates.
The Republicans really tripped on their peckers this time. They actually gave Hillary all day on national TV to look Presidential. We got to see how she performs under 11-hours of stress and the pundits agree that she came out looking smart, strong and unflappable while the Republicans came out as obviously biased and nothing new was revealed at all, begging the question, "Why is this inquiry still going on?" They actually tried to make out a personal email sent to her daughter as a policy failure! Eight reasons why Hillary Clinton won the Benghazi hearing Marathon Benghazi hearing leaves Hillary Clinton largely unscathed Hillary Clinton turns Benghazi trial into plus for bid Hillary Clinton won’t go down this way: The Benghazi farce was just exposed — but the wingnut fever won’t break Washington Post A1 analysis by Karen DeYoung: “Republicans land only glancing blows in day-long rehash.” ABC: “The ‘get Hillary’ committee did not get Hillary.” CBS: “Clinton took more than 300 questions … but what came out of it?” NBC: “In The GOP Attempt To Look Apolitical, Clinton Won.” CNN: “Clinton avoided major damage to her presidential campaign.” Even Fox News, which deserves more credit than anyone for making Benghazi such a big dang deal, cut away from live coverage of the hearing hours before it ended. Leading their web site this morning is a story about an illegal immigrant who beat a toddler in California. The headline on their leadeall is: “Clinton seeks to turn page on Benghazi after testimony – but can she?” New York Times: “At Hearing, Clinton Lets Others Do Shouting.” USA Today: “No clear wins for GOP at Benghazi hearing.”
