As Hillary Clinton prepared to testify to the House Select Committee on Benghazi in October 2015, her communications and legal teams debated how much “outrage” she should display for lawmakers in her opening statement.

In emails published by Wikileaks Monday, a draft of Mrs. Clinton’s opening remarks to the committee included a line from her book “Hard Choices” in 2014: “I will not be a part of a political slugfest on the backs of dead Americans.”

Clinton campaign adviser Mandy Grunwald liked that line because, she said, “we need a bit of moral outrage.”

But campaign official Jennifer Palmieri balked at the line, saying “I think that is too graphic and splashes back on her as appearing to exploit their deaths,” referring to the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Mrs. Clinton didn’t use the line in her opening statement.

The draft also included this line about Mr. Stevens: “Chris did not believe retreat was an option — and neither do I.”

This just takes your breath away. We´ve always known that Clinton is a coldhearted, evil, selfish woman. It is even even more sickening and appalling when you actually see the machinations they went through.

I've long figured that Billy and Obama would be happy to let others do their wet work but Hillary would happily pull the trigger herself.

So her smile is manufactured, her anger is manufactured, and not hating the people is manufactured as shown in the recent WikiLeaks.

Sung to the tune of Neil Young’s Ohio

Terrorists with small arms coming,
She left them on their own
September we heard the drumming
Four Dead in Benghazi

When you get down to it
Terrorists cut ‘em right down.
Needed Security long ago.
The fact, you knew it and
Now they’re dead on the ground.
How can you Run when you know?

(repeat)

Four dead in Benghazi
What?
Four dead in Benghazi
Oh no no
Four dead in Benghazi
Are there more?
Four dead in Benghazi

And people are going to vote for her...
The USA is one the precipice of a coming age of darkness.

I suspect sociopathy as well.

Driven with a lust for power so strong that if she ever had that conscience thingy, it is now long, long gone.

[GnuThere]

Absolutely!
