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

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.

I’m wondering the same thing.

I guess it really does not matter if they put her under oath.

If she is caught lying, the GOP won’t do anything anyway except use it
as a campaign tool. Nothing more.

“...if granted immunity...”

Yes, and the significance of that would be totally lost
on the media.

It would be very rare for a SOS (or former one) to be required to take an oath. Hearings are usually just for show as witnesses almost always have submitted written testimony before they appear. Congressmen don’t like surprises.

Big deal. It means absolutely nothing, unless she can be charged with a crime for not cooperating. It is free publicity for the rat frontrunner.
