2pm (ET)

LIVE: Investigation of Benghazi Attack

[FR_addict]

Wanted to separate the two hearings for easier posting. Starts at 2pm according to the C-Span3 schedule.

[FR_addict]

Limbaugh is making the point that the Senate hearings today made the case that the reason for Benghazi is that the State department needs more money. Limbaugh said no one argued that the money was not the problem.

Let’s see what happens in the House.

[Lucky9teen]

She's a Clinton...she's got her ass covered

[MomwithHope]

I think (hope) there will be tougher questioning from the house.

[MestaMachine]

I sure hope the House is a lot more willing to challenge this witch than the suckup senators were this morning.

[nutmeg]

Over here...

[Lucky9teen]

[MestaMachine]

With makeup.

[FR_addict]

Would you re-post your list of players here for the House?

[Red_Devil 232]

I hope the house Republicans ask some very tough questions and demand answers and they do not let Hillary filibuster every answer. Make her answer the question and then move on to the next question. The senate hearing was a disgusting praise Hillary fest! Except for Rand Paul who told her if he were President he would have fired her! All the Dem Senators did was pat her on the back and said job well done - sickening!

Starts at 2pm according to the C-Span3 schedule.

C-SPAN3 is connected online and paused so I don't have to listen in the meantime. Come 2 o'clock, we'll see what our Reps can do.

Unless I missed it, I didn’t hear anything this morning about saying it was a film that caused the attack.

Maybe they will get to that in the House.

[South40]

Let the lying begin continue.

[onyx]

Thanks very much.

Good opening statement by Royce!

[FR_addict]

Ed Royce R California: Hearing may turn to funding, but how would more funding help. This was result of bad decisions.

[Red_Devil 232]

Here we go the House Dems are sticking to the talking points praising Hillary and she is glowing in the praise!

[onyx]

Engell can GTH = Reagan answered the attack!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Sickening. Engel is a slimeball.

[MomofMarine]

Rep. Engel is a disgrace! What a blatant, fawning embarrassment he is.

[MestaMachine]

engel is a honey dipper who loves his job.

[SE Mom]

Am at work ..only have iPhone. Please ping me if anything amazing happens. Thanks!

[lodi90]

Hit the mute button for the rest of his spiel.

[onyx]

Slimeball liar. I despise his constituents!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

How many electric cars did embassies get, Mr. Engel?

[Toespi]

Here we go, republicans fault for not funding. Why the hell doesn’t the REPUBLCANS cut to the chase and bring criminal charges against the entire group?

[onyx]

I promise!

[RitaOK]

Thank you for this thread!

Money doesn’t trump systemic problems of defending state dept staff.

[Resettozero]

Again, she is not giving sworn testimony today. Apparently, there is now a difference between testimony and sworn testimony.

[Toespi]

She is minimizing Benghazi by clumping it in with all other embassy attacks. How clever.

[shooter223]

Mister Chairman, I would ask unanimous consent that the witness be placed under oath.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

When do they ever swear in????

[who knows what evil?]

Why the hell doesn’t the REPUBLCANS cut to the chase and bring criminal charges against the entire group?

Because they wouldn't be invited to any more Beltway parties...

[onyx]

Thank you for that important information!

She is testifying before congress, but what precisely does that mean?

About the same as taking responsibility I reckon.

[advertising guy]

she is preachin.......I loathe this witch

[MomofMarine]

What does it matter? They are all congenital liars.

[RitaOK]

Guaranteed, Hillary will re-direct, away from “systemic failures” PRIOR to the Benghazi attack, and LAUNCHING her wonderfulness AFTER the attack.

Just watch and see. Everything will be POST event. Nail her on this fact, somebody.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

So true.

[Sweet Hour of Prayer]

Okay, she got her 3am phone call... was she prepared? Did she help solve the problem? Why are Americans dead and the only people prosecuted are 2 military command officers who tried to help in the vacuum left by Hilary and Obama?

[kabar]

No doubt, Hillary would refuse to testify it were under oath.

The Board was far from being non-partisan. Pickering is a career diplomat and Mullen is also a career military officer. The other three members of the board were career government bureaucrats. There should have been an outside investigation.

[nutmeg]

Who is the young guy over Hillary’s left shoulder... the guy with the constant grin on his face? What does he thinks is so amusing?

[shooter223]

Same old crap. She will slide. (Again)

[advertising guy]

my guess is gas

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

You and Obama orchestrated and WANTED the ‘Arab Spring’, Hillary!!!! NOW you complain about security???

[Toespi]

This is Wonder Woman, our hero. Without her actions that day, many more lives would have been saved. “Benghazi did not happen in a vacuum”. If the region was so unstable, why was security at a minimum? She wants it both ways.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Just wondering. Which approved and passed budgets failed to properly fund security for embassies???
