Carl Bernstein: Hillary Clinton Will ‘Murder’ Benghazi Committee
NewsBusters.org ^ | October 18, 2015 | Jeffrey Meyer

Posted on 10/18/2015 2:58:56 PM PDT by Kaslin

During an appearance on CNN’s Reliable Sources Sunday, veteran journalist Carl Bernstein trashed the Benghazi committee ahead of Hillary Clinton’s testimony and insisted the Democrat will “murder them because it has been a witch hunt. It has been partisan. It's great opportunity for her.”

Bernstein also praised Clinton’s debate performance as “her greatest moment in this campaign which has been a disaster for her up until the debate” but ultimately admitted “I don't think that a reset button was successfully hit. We're still back to these basic questions about her truthfulness about the server, the foundation, about the FBI investigation.”

More "wishful thinking" by Bernstein. The fact she has to go through this will add to the fact that she is already "damaged goods" and it's getting worse.

Who is paying him, how much, and how often?

But this is instructive. He’s telegraphed the media’s coming narrative. Next weekend they will all be parroting this.

...Unless Gowdy and the others stay off their soap boxes, and are serious about asking her real questions and making sure she actually answers them fully.

I will be in the minority here... but I think HRC will do just fine during Gowdy hearings.

As for Bernstein ... that man has always struck me as being slimy. I feel the same about Woodward ... slimy old hacks who have been dinning off Watergate BS for decades.

a witch hunt?....really?...

our ambassador was dragged out and killed and God only knows what else happened and its a witch hunt?

anyone ever think that the Watergate was anything other than a witch hunt?...

and that did not risk the nation's security at all....

Gowdy is a top flight prosecutor. He'll be on point and never ask a question to which he does not already know the answer. Hillary on the other hand will either deny everything or use the old reliable,"I can't recall" defense.

And hopefully he hasn't told Cummings what the questions will be.

Exactly. You know she has been drilled and drilled and drilled with teams of attorneys and media consultants, and they've provided her with a ton of practiced ‘zinger’ responses that they've tested for response. The committee needs to be extremely professional, and make this about those who lost their life and suffered.

Bernstein made a name for himself only because of what he did with Watergate. If there had been no Watergate, Bernstein would have no name recognition at all.
