Clinton willing to testify before Benghazi panel, Democrat says
The Hill ^ | 1/27/15 | Martin Matishak

Posted on 01/27/2015 2:57:06 PM PST by Libloather

Hillary Clinton is willing to testify before the House Select Committee that is investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, according to the panel’s top Democrat.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) on Tuesday said he has spoken to Clinton about the possibility of testifying at the request of Rep. Trey Gowdy (S.C.), the panel’s Republican chairman, and she “did not hesitate for one second.”

“She said ... I’ll do it, period,” Cummings said after the committee's third hearing.

Cummings said Clinton, who was secretary of State at the time of the Benghazi attacks, indicated to him last year that she “wanted to come in December” to testify but could also come in January.

“The fact is that she was very clear,” Cummings said.

No. Why give Hillary some photo opportunity to redeem herself politically?

Hillary and Democrats will have this all stage crafted so Hillary can clean the slate and proclaim that she’s been to two Congressional hearing and there is nothing there!

It will become “old news” that no one cares about except the “extremists”. Moreover, I highly doubt Hillary has anything newsworthy to offer.

Don’t be silly...

She would only testify under oath if granted immunity...

not likely to happen ...

Apparently he's chief obfuscation officer of the Benghazi panel.

Will she know what the definition of “is” is?

Ask her just one question, which NO Republican nor Dim has yet brought up-——What was Operation Zero Footprint? Answer that question and I believe reasons for nearly everything that has happened in the ME since that policy enactment will become a little clearer......

“She would only testify under oath if granted immunity...”

She will testify, lie through her teeth and the MSM will bleat how courageous she is for coming forward in such a timely matter.

Then it will get buried.

Gowdy’s committee has teeth this time.

Clinton will have to answer about her knowledge of the “it was the video” excuse.

She will have to answer about security.

She will have to answer about the purpose of the Benghazi facility.

"I am saddened to report today that there are major, major problems with this committee and its work," Cummings said in his opening statement, adding that its work is moving at a “glacial pace.”

LOL...this guy does have Chutzpah...

I’m thinking Hillary! is heading for one of those ‘exercise equipment accidents’ ala Harry Reid, which will keep her from testifying, but she’ll recover in time to announce her run for the Presidency.

What a world.

As long as she gets the questions a week or three in advance.

As it turns out, it IS the video: the DSSC drone video of the attack that Judical Watch went after. It blows a lot of RAT defenses out of the water.

Judicial Watch obtains ‘smoking gun’ Benghazi documents

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3251118/posts

..The Diplomatic Security Command Center, or DSCC, was well aware that the attack was carried out by highly organized and armed Islamic militia, because the DSCC was the unit that monitored the attack in real time via video transmissions from a drone.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the DSCC “clearly knew in real time that a full-fledged terrorist attack was taking place on September 11 at the U.S. compound in Benghazi, and the American people deserve to be told the truth.”

Probably... Took time to get things set up. Need money for payoffs, also.
