Hillary Clinton: No reason for new Benghazi committee, but GOP ‘calls the shots’ in the House
CNN ^ | 05/08/2014 | Dan Merica

Posted on 05/08/2014 7:03:25 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that she is "absolutely" satisfied with what she knows about the Benghazi terror attack, and cast doubt on the intentions of House Republicans spearheading a select committee to investigate it.

"I mean of course there are a lot of reasons why, despite all of the hearings, all of the information that’s been provided, some choose not to be satisfied and choose to continue to move forward," Clinton said in an appearance in New York.

"That’s their choice and I do not believe there is any reason for it to continue in this way, but they get to call the shots in the Congress," she said.

The remarks were her first public comments on the formation of a select committee to investigate the September 11, 2012, terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in eastern Libya that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

Hold Hillary accountable , 100%
She stood there and lied right to the faces of the families of the Benghazi fallen , as their coffins were there lined up. What kind of a person tells bald faced lies to such families at a time like that ? Never forget .

This worm should never be allowed to stand for office again .

The entire criminal democrat enterprise is getting ready to lie, cheat and steal to protect their man and their woman. Expect the biggest smokescreen of lies that we have ever seen.

For the record: the big guy deliberately did nothing while Americans were being raped and killed, so as to not annoy his true love, and hillary immediately started promoting the lies.

Yeah, this works for me. If I were being investigated, I’d tell the agent, “you don’t need to look into this, it’s all settled”, and he’d put the 302 back in the briefcase, stow his pen, and say “Have a nice day!” and that would be that.

HRC will have ample opportunity, under oath, to tell us about the 'video' and the cover-up.

Hey Hillary, whose idea was it to float the video lie? Was it your idea? Who really made the video? Who ordered the stand down? Where was Obama? Where were you? Why did politics trump the lives of four Americans? Where are the other people that worked there and at the annex? We want to subpoena them. This is not going away until we get answers.

RE: Hold Hillary accountable , 100%

And what will “hold accountable” entail?

If it’s going to be another slap on the wrist ( e.g., a resolution saying “You’ve been a bad girl” ), then the entire exercise is pretty much a waste of time.

“I really hope that Bengazi destroys her 2016 run.”

Democrats can be filmed smoking crack and get elected. Most people don’t understand the Benghazi issues thanks to our media, so I think that even if she’s found to be directly complicit, the press will make 51% of voters feel that she’s being persecuted. The Republican War On Women is not about birth control or abortion.

I think Huma still has that in a dresser drawer somewhere.

In the post-rational United States, it’s Ok to sexually harass an unpaid intern in the oval office. It’s Ok to allow Americans to get raped and killed.
But what’s really bad is being accused of closing a bridge lane, or saying that you have folders full of women.

Of course, this isn’t at all about Hillary being absolutely satisfied with what she knows - it is about the rest of us being absolutely unsatisfied with what WE know.

Still avoiding culpability by using the passive voice: “All the information that’s been provided...”

Not “all the information I’ve provided...”

Doesn’t want to be tied to her own lies.

Drag this woman down the steps of the House of Representatives and throw her in the slammer.

“using the passive voice”

Same “reasonable” voice harry reid uses — part of their passive-aggressive ways? Can’t wait for the screeching to begin.

If the facts start to lead in Cankles direcction, during these hearings, watch how fast the Dems. throw her under the bus...AGAIN. Fire up Elizabeth Warren. I think that’s why her name keeps popping up. She’s their go to person in case Hillary implodes.
I read an interview with Ralph Nader ,in Fortune magazine, yesterday. The guy is a kook but he emphatically said that he would never support Hil but loves Warren.

This was Hillary’s 3 a.m. moment. Remember how she ran those ads saying she would take 3 a.m. phone calls and handle crises which can come up at any hour of day or night.

Not to mention, putting the dog in a crate on top of the car, as you go on a family vacation. That was a crime against humanity, per the liberals.
