Hillary Lied Under Oath About Benghazi
American Thinker ^ | Apr. 25, 2013 | Rick Moran

Posted on 04/25/2013 6:41:44 AM PDT by EXCH54FE

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, testifying in January 2013, before the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said "...what difference at this point does it make?" Clinton was speaking about the Benghazi attack that killed four Americans.

Well, Hillary, it does make a difference, as we are now finding out. A report of findings of a Republican led committee accuses Clinton of "...seeking to cover up failures by the State Department that could have contributed to the attack last year that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans."

But why was the attack successful? Why was there not adequate security at the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya? As it turns out, it was Hillary Clinton who denied adequate security. Page 2 of the report has:

Senior State Department officials knew that the threat environment in Benghazi was high and that the Benghazi compound was vulnerable and unable to withstand an attack, yet the Department continued to systematically withdraw security personnel.

On page 5 of the report is this little nugget of information: "Prior to the Benghazi attacks, State Department officials in Libya made repeated requests for additional security that were denied in Washington despite ample documentation of the threat posed by violent extremist militias."

We get, on page 7 of the report, this: "...in a cable signed by Secretary Clinton in April 2012, the State Department settled on a plan to scale back security assets for the U.S. Mission in Libya, including Benghazi."

The report also makes this point:

Reductions of security levels prior to the attacks in Benghazi were approved at the highest levels of the State Department, up to and including highest levels of the State Department, up to and including Secretary Clinton. This fact contradicts her testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on January 23, 2013.

Even in the face of proof, somehow the MSM seems to have missed Hillary's antics. Could their miss be on purpose? Could the fact that Hillary has a "D" after her name and the report was prepared by people who have an "R" after their names have anything to do with the MSM's miss?

Good grief, man, she’s a Clinton.

She has a PhD in lying.

Nothing about her is true...and had she not boinked Bubba, she’d still be a second rate lawyer in some east coast bastion of socialism.

Some things will always inevitably come back around like a carousel ride upon you, you do good deeds, good deeds befall upon you.

Think for a moment, well it may require a longer duration of time all the misfortune the Clintons created and possibly its about due to return upon them.

It's OK for Democrats to lie under oath. The Senate's "acquittal" of Bill Clinton proved that.

I've always suspected that Teddy lied under oath about how many drinks he had consumed before he drove off the bridge at Chappaquiddick and killed Mary Jo Kopechne (he said three rum and Cokes)...he was probably thoroughly drunk which was why he waited so long to contact the authorities, so his blood alcohol level would have gone down...but there would be no way to prove it unless someone else at the party came forward and of course they were all Kennedy loyalists.

There’s still some doubt about that.

And really, "What difference does it make?", Especially when she runs for President in 2016, the low information voter will vote for who ever is promising the most government cheese.

In this administration, no one is accountable or responsible for any thing. Pathetic. Truly pathetic.

Yep! The brain-dead won’t know she lied. The parasites won’t care she lied. And the anti-American socialists treasure their leftist lairs’ lying skills. She would win easily over the next-in-line establishment GOP RINO de jour.
