Clinton said the committee is trying to 'exploit' the deaths of the deaths of four Americans killed in a September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Libya She said she'd appear before the committee on October 22, as scheduled - if it's 'still running' by then
Leading House Democrats want the committee dissolved following GOP Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's suggestion that the investigative unit is trying to undercut Clinton's presidential campaign
Casting it as a partisan witch hunt dedicated to destroying her career, Clinton accused the committee - which discovered her private email server - of trying to 'exploit' the deaths of the deaths of four Americans killed in a September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Libya.
The Democratic presidential candidate said she'd appear before the committee on October 22, as scheduled, when asked by Today's Savannah Guthrie about the investigative unit - if it's 'still running' by then.
'Now that they have admitted it was a political partisan committee for the sole purpose of going after me, not trying to make our diplomats who serve in dangerous areas safe, that's up to the Congress,' she said of Democrats' calls for the committee to be disbanded.
Clinton came at McCarthy and his fellow House Republicans hard this morning in an interview with Guthrie and said, 'This committee was set up, as they have admitted, for the purpose of making a partisan political issue out of the deaths of four Americans.'
'I would have never done that,' she added.
A former first lady, Clinton said, she's been in politics for a long time, 'but some things are just beyond the pale.'
The former secretary of state's role in the Benghazi attack has been the subject of seven previous investigations, all of which cleared her of wrongdoing, she pointed out this morning.

Kevin McCarthy better NEVER be SPEAKER!!! NEVER!!
Kevin McCarthy better NEVER be SPEAKER!!! NEVER!!
How bout offering to suspend the Benghazi probe if she goes to each family that lost a loved one in Benghazi on national television and apologizes to them for lying about the video being the cause of their death, resign from ever holding office, including president, ever again. Then the House will suspend their investigation. Short of that, pour some more coal on the fire and get that bellows a pumping!
I wonder how many people here understand your reference?
One of the first, of many, Media cover-ups for the Clintonistas and Dems in power.
Honorable?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
McCarthy’s not a dope, it was intentional to undermine the committee.
There is no way possible what Hillary was doing and had planned for Benghazi that could be done without repub leadership being involved.
Or what a well-placed plant to activate at the right moment.
Nice work Hill. You just stepped on your best bet to change your image off of your SNL appearance by reverting back to angry petulant Hillary.
If you have ever seen Billy Jeff, you would say that his head is way too big for his body. It is startling to say the least.
Yup, he was toast from the beginning. “Don’t mess with evil,” that is the motto to live by.
Exactly right.
Not a crook
Thanks for the laugh.
Hard to chuckle these days.
McCarthy’s not a dope, it was intentional to undermine the committee.

He IS a dope.
Maybe was intentional.
But not his call.
We all know how this works Hillary. It’s wore out and old now. You’re toast this time.”
She's desperately trying to grasp onto McCarthy's as some sort of lifeline for her campaign but it won't work. Ive noticed her use all the old Clinton tricks only to have them cause her further drop in the polls
Can’t believe it but you have accomplished something I thought was impossibe. You were able to use “Hillary” and the words “very hot” in the same sentence?
We are FReepers.....but many FReepers here have no idea about what's happened in the past.
