Clinton’s Benghazi testimony, demeanor crucial in bid to earn voters’ trust
The Washington Times ^ | October 21, 2015 | S.A. Miller

The burning question on Capitol Hill is which Hillary Rodham Clinton will show up Thursday to testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi: the affable and polished politician who wowed the Democratic presidential debate last week or the combative woman whose 2013 testimony has become a campaign liability.

After months of back and forth conducted by press release and media interviews, Mrs. Clinton will get the chance to square off against investigators face to face in testimony expected to cover everything from her whereabouts during the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi to her decision to delete tens of thousands of emails she has insisted were private, though they were sent from the same account she used for government business.

How she handles herself could go a long way toward shaping Americans’ views of her as she prepares to ask voters to trust her with the White House.

“People are quite curious as to which Hillary is going to show up,” said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who said Mrs. Clinton’s full cooperation with the committee could go a long way toward getting answers for the four Americans who were killed in the 2012 attack on the diplomatic post in Libya’s second-largest city.

“My hope on behalf of those families that lost loved ones and our men and women in uniform who go out every day to defend us around the globe, is that she will be honest with the committee,” the Tennessee Republican said.

The attack by heavily armed militants on the compound killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, a State Department staffer and two former Navy SEALs working as security contractors for the CIA, which operated an annex near the diplomatic compound.

I predict tears. Of anguish, sorrow, ‘as a mother myself’.

Completely and utterly fake, of course.

Bet on it.

Any voter who trusts Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be trusted with the vote.

Clinton's supporters will vote for her, no matter what. They want to elect the first woman president just as they elected Obama the first black president. They don't really care about Benghazi, the emails or any other wrongdoings on her part.

I presume the TV announcers will set this up as a bunch of mean, nasty Republicans picking on a wonderful woman.

And probably someone on the committee will provide her with the questions ahead of time.

Which Hillary? Whichever one works, of course.

Don’t plan to watch the performance. It would be too disgusting and revolting. Will rely on news reports and FR discussion to learn what happens.

Maybe, but she’s got the charm of a sidewinder rattlesnake with shingles so it should be cringe-worthy.

“And probably someone on the committee will provide her with the questions ahead of time.”

Of that I have no doubt.

Hillary Clinton is a thieving, lying, killing, dirty little snot.

She will try to attack.

She will try to deflect.

She will ignore questions.

She will try to ridicule the Republicans.

They will have to ask her questions she is not expecting. Make her have to think instead of just repeating the answers she’s been coached to say.

Be prepared for the Democrats on the committee. They could care less about Benghazi. They want to humiliate the Republicans.

I don’t care if Hillary comes in wearing a nun costume and blesses everyone on the committee.

Things went to crap in Benghazi. We need to know why. This dirty little snot has done everything she can to weasel out of her responsibility for Benghazi.

And I hope the American Press covering up for her all lose their jobs and have to stand at the exit by Target begging for money. They deserve it.

The grass grows long o’er the graves of the four Americans killed in Benghazi as we wait for justice for them.

The interrogation will suddenly fall into repetitive “Do you recall” questions... and we know how well that worked out last time.

Of course she will. Even though she is a 100%, total, complete piece of excrement, she will wipe the floor with those worthless pubbies. She is a Clinton. She can do anything, and there are enough idiots out there, that she stands a good chance of being the next POTUS. I know it sucks, but it might very well happen. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voters. The parasites probably outnumber the producers.
