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].”

Any further testimony from Hillary must be under oath and take place only after everyone else has testified.
The facts must be known and documented, and the case against her iron-clad before she is given another opportunity to derail the investigation.
Otherwise it will just be another classic Clinton Media Circus full of well rehearsed bombastic theatrics, word parsing, and another round of phony indignation.
The Clintons are masters at it.
very very telling that she wouldn’t take an oath
Sounds like she’ll have a concussion relapse. Complete.
Why? She will just lie again. What is the purpose? They are not about to charge her with lying to Congress or perjury. So, again, why?
Mr. Chaffetz have you no shame?
What difference would more of her lies make?
I think they will run Michelle for Pres. Why not, she has great arms, and the uninformed voter LOVES her!
If they don’t put her under oath, what’s the point?
Are you going to put her under oath this time, Rep. Chaffetz?
Because if you are just going to be a typical republican enabler, do not waste my time with your phony shows.
UNDER OATH! She MUST testify UNDER OATH. No more get out of jail free cards.
hey Chaffetz...THIS TIME make sure she takes an Oath
UNDER OATH this time!!
We don’t need to provide her a stage to repeat her LIES without CONSEQUENCES!!
LLS
“I’m going to be president so what difference does this make?”
Jeez, I wonder what her excuse to delay her testimony will be this time? She's already used the stomach virus, concussion, and blood clot excuses.
She should, but she won’t.
She learned everything she knows at Slick Willie's knee, no wait...that was Monica wasn't it?
Musing...expert prevaricator? is that what they're calling it these days??
