Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's testimony yesterday before the congressional committee formed to investigate the deadly Benghazi debacle that she allowed to happen and then tried to cover up can be summed up in two words: she lied.

I think if he had said “Then you lied, didn’t you?” she would have weaseled around that
**********************************************
One of the exchanges that showed her ‘weaseling’ was regarding the ARB report. I think it was Westmoreland who asked her if she “agreed” with it ... she would NOT say she agreed. She said she embraced the recommendations, but would NOT say she agreed .... the ARB, for all it’s inadequacies & lack of independence, did say the “security posture that was nadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place”. She absolutely did not want to agree with that statement. It was another version of Bill’s depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is sort of thing. It disgusted me, but then I’m biased .... the sight of Hilly & Slick disgusts me before either of them even opens their mouths.
I remember that, and I also recall that one of the parents of the dead stating that Hillary said they would make sure they would punish the guy who made that video that caused all this. Anyone else remember that?
See my link at post #25. H is talking in the hanger and speaks about the video around 13:40 min mark.
Trump can a nice A : B comparison campaign video. Hillary lied about the four that died!
Hillary blamed Benghazi on video days before Rice

“Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans,” Clinton said. “What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?”
For anyone willing to connect the dots, the collective motivation however was the capture and subsequent "negotiated" release of Ambassador Stevens, an abductuon attempt planned and coordinated by the Muslim Brotherhood and traitors in the US government (who were also funneling arms into Syria through Libya) for their mutual benefit during an election year in the US. Imagine the surprise and anger of these conspirators when the Navy Seals guarding the ambassador refused orders to stand down and fought instead to the death. The outrageous truth had to be covered with equally outrageous lies; hence, the ridiculous story line that unfolded: "Not enough time to send in backup," "What does it matter?", the "inflammatory" YouTube video, referring to the CIA annex in Benghazi as a "consulate", false claims of demonstrations, etc.
The basic problem is, that in general, her supporters are stupid. They'll never have to admit that she brazenly lied, because the media will not show side-by-side video evidence of her lies. If she were a republican, you'd see exactly that repeated over and over in the media. However, since the media won't show it, democrats know they don't have to admit it.

Exactly.
Just watched Brent Bozell on FBN. He monitored all the media coverage of yesterday’s hearings. He said that only one outlet (I think CBS or NBC) aired 5 minutes about it which the talking heads then declared that no new revelations came out.
They’re believing the media narrative of “it’s so long ago and nobody cares”, just like Sanders about her email scandal.
Didn’t they arrest a guy for offending Islam by making the movie?
....A video no had seen, including Muslims.
“I am not saying it was the video.... but it was the video.”
Problem there is
“…heavy assault on our post in Benghazi, that took the lives of those brave men. We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American Embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with.”
It’s presented as two separate issues. It’s what she said yesterday.
I know the parent has stated she said something about getting the guy who made the video. But that ain’t good enough.
She said blumy’s emails were “unsolicited”, and then when called out on it, hilliary switched to the meaningless phrase, “started out unsolicited.”
She lied - and then attempted to undo the lie with a transition to a meaningless phrase.
She lied a lot yesterday.
She says…
“…heavy assault on our post in Benghazi, that took the lives of those brave men. We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American Embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with.”
It’s presented as similar, but separate incidents. She uses “post” in reference to Benghazi and Embassies in relation to the video.
Pretty clear she was using just enough of the Obama/Rice storey-line to play along, but enough lawyer speak to cover her ample rear.
. . . but this wasn’t the US government’s first rodeo. There were lessons learned from previous terrorist attacks on consulates. Because of that, part of Hillary’s job description was to make sure she did get the memo.
Excellent point!
