Rep. Chaffetz: Hillary Clinton must testify again about Benghazi attacks
Rep. Chaffetz: Hillary Clinton must testify again about Benghazi attacks ^ | 5/10 | gehrke

Posted on 05/10/2013 9:05:02 AM PDT by RummyChick

One of the lead House investigators into the Benghazi terrorist attack called for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify before Congress about information provide by State Department whistleblowers, adding that he would support issuing a subpoena if she refuses.

“I would hope that she would step up and help us out,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, replied when Charlie Rose asked him if he wants the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to subpoena Clinton. Chaffetz emphasized that the committee is not yet ready to issue such a summons, but noted that “we do have whistleblowers stepping up, [so] I think we’re going to get serious about forcing people legally to [testify].”

Chaffetz — sounding as if he wanted to avoid saying anything that would seem to vindicate critics who dismiss the current Benghazi investigation as a witch-hunt designed to hurt Clinton’s ability to win the presidency in 2016 — said that if Clinton will not voluntarily appear, then “at some point, yeah, I’ll be supportive of [a subpoena].”

Long time ago. Makes no difference now what caused the “protest”. The guy that caused it is in jail for putting the video out so what more needs done?

the best we can hope for here is that the Obama people throw Hillary under the bus.

I'm sure Obama has someone in mind for 2016 and its a lead pipe cinch it ain't Hillary.

CIA needs to defend itself. Military is being hung out to dry.

Clinton needs to protect legacy for Chelsea’s future political career.

Lots of swirling going on.

Will she be invited to lie... or will she be under oath?

Of course, either way, she'll lie.

Jennifer Griffen just reported that troops in Italy have been put on standby in case they need to go into Tripoli.

Ok, as soon as I posted that I realize, that the story I read may have been about the first investigation hearings.
So know I do not know which time it was....will have to do some research.

If she is not under oath, then it is not testimony. It is only an appearance. Just like when she walks in front of a mirror, she reflects no image.

Hillary has the most trained brain in history. When she wants , it is sharp as a tack. When it behooves her, her brain is jello (I cannot recall) or concussed.

She is an expert prevaricator.

“I would hope that she would step up and help us out.”

Yea, that will happen — Hillary never helps anyone but herself.

This will be when she will resort to “I’m sorry, I don’t recall.”

But it takes ‘like a whole day to get there’ and ‘is there a tanker available’? (/s)
