A LONG DAY OF QUESTIONS

Of course she was born here. I'm not sure that it is possible to prevent a US citizen from returning.
Hillary may be corrupt, but she didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday, so it seems likely she will breeze right through these hearings.
Yeah.
You forgot something else she does: kill people-ORDER that they be killed.
Maybe I am dense, but I have never understood why Benghazi, which happened in a war zone and involved the killing of four people, was not quite a minor event in comparison with 9/11 which involved the killing of thousands in our homeland.
Did Hitler-y wear her “Benghazi” horn-rimmed Coke bottle
eyeglasses?
Do you think the killing of an American Ambassador by our enemies is a “minor event”?
Our enemies didn’t think so.
Why would you?
You’re summarizing her first hearing ..??
Because, the latest one has not occurred yet. I think it’s next week.
I heard Rush’s show .. and I got the impression his comments were from her previous hearing ..??
Trey Gowdy will need to break Satan’s daughter. Push her to the edge and then hit her with a key question that snaps the chain of facade, releasing her true demonic nature.
Trey will need a couple of Sergeant-at-Arms, with tasers to stop HiLIARy’s sycophants from interferring, when she starts throwing chairs at the CSPAN cameras, while spinning her head around and spitting up green pea soup.
NOT IN A MILLION YEARS.
I guess I’m at risk twice; I’m a Christian and a Veteran.
Anyone who doesn't see this is very myopic. But probably people are just pretending not to see it.
Maybe you could start a thread on how nobody cared about 9/11.
On a thread about Hillary and Benghazi, you bring up 9/11?
Why not bring up World War II?
I believe that was even bigger than 9/11.
The Democrats attacked Libya. You know, the peace-loving Democrats.
They had the leader of another country killed. Yeah, those Democrats.
After George Soros gave everyone the “Responsibility To Protect” lecture.
The George Soros whose estate Hillary Clinton’s only child had her wedding at.
That George Soros that puts his greedy fingers into government business. The George Soros who pays people to confuse issues on web sites.
It’s amazing how destructive to America some people try to be. You know, like intentionally confusing issues on web sites.
Oh, please. “The Ice Godess?”
More like the screeching beaiotch/fury from H3!! from what I have gathered over the years.
How can The New York Times claim, with a straight face, “The 2012 attacks in Benghazi have been investigated by seven different congressional committees: the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the House Committee on Armed Services, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the House Committee on the Judiciary, and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. These panels interviewed dozens of witnesses, reviewed tens of thousands of pages of documents, conducted multiple classified interviews and briefings, and held multiple public hearings. These committees, in addition to the independent Accountability Review Board, have issued nine reports on the attacks.”
Has anyone pointed out that the “nine prior investigations” concluded that more investigation was necessary? As I read the reports below, we know that Report #1 was a whitewash. Reports 2, 6, 7 and 9, and arguably 8, contemplated more investigation, which is why Gowdy’s committee was created. Report #5 was Elijah Cummings’ report, and he has taken it off his website. The remaining three reports claim to be dispositive, but only with respect to a limited purview. And none of these committee even had the necessary emails.
The question is, why can’t journalists do this themselves? It took me about an hour to go this far.
1. The Accountability Review Board Report has already been shown to be a whitewash. Further, like all the reports that came after it, it did not examine or even obtain Hillary Clinton’s emails or Ambassador Stephens’ emails.
2. The BIPARTISAN Senate Select Committee on Intelligence concluded that: “It is our intent that the findings and recommendations outlined in this report will facilitate and inform other reviews, especially those conducted by congressional committees with specific jurisdiction over the State Department.”
3. The BIPARTISAN House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence stated that it focused only on the “activities of the Intelligence Community” and had a dissenting report from the Republicans and a dissenting report from the Democrats.
4. BIPARTISAN Lieberman-Collins Senate Report was issued in December 2012 — barely three months after the attack, and noted “We are cognizant that the Congressionally-mandated Accountability Review Board (ARB) of the Department of State has now issued its important and constructive report and that other Congressional committees are investigating the Benghazi attack as well. Each makes significant contributions to our collective understanding of what transpired and what we must do going forward.”
5. The Staff Report to the House Oversight Committee Ranking Member (the Democrat report) has been removed from the Committee’s website
6. The Five Chairmen report concluded: “These preliminary findings illustrate the need for continued examination...”
7. Staff Report to the House Armed Services Committee contained the following self-assessment: “It [the report] is not, however, meant to be an exhaustive catalog or evaluation of every point or detail contained in this material.” The Committee was only concerned with “determin[ing] what preparations the U.S. military had made for the possibility of an attack in Libya, and what arrangements have subsequently been put into place to minimize the possibility of a similar recurrence.” The Chairman concluded “This report should be considered one component of continuing comprehensive Benghazi-related oversight underway in the U.S. House of Representatives. In keeping with the committee’s jurisdiction, this document addresses only the activities and actions of personnel in DOD.”
8. Staff Report to the House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman concluded: “In its oversight capacity, the Committee on Foreign Affairs will remain focused on pressing for the accountability needed to make State Department personnel serving overseas safer.”
9. Staff Report to the House Oversight Committee Chairman concluded: “The gaps in the ARB’s work are particularly troubling because the Obama Administration has repeatedly touted the ARB report as the final word on failures by the State Department that contributed to the inadequate security posture in Benghazi. The limitations inherent in the ARB’s mandate and the weaknesses in the ARB’s methodology show that a more thorough investigation is necessary.”
