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.

Not as low as mine

This will probably help her showing how Trey Gowdy is over his head , as much as Issa.

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

That grass, as you call it, will grow into 200 foot tall California Redwoods, before we get justice for them. I am more than just a little cynical of these weasels ever learning the truth.

I don’t doubt that at all, she’s been given the questions already.

Is there a pool yet on how many times she says “I don’t recall?”

I don’ see how anyone can benefit politically from this situation. If ten people in this country change their mind because of these hearings, it will be a big deal.

Why is this gal not in prison?

She deleted and hid 10,000 emails to hide evidence from the American People...those 10,000 emails that she hid illegally obviously had corruption, bribery and treason written all within them!

I predict that Hillary will read an opening statement. Then, when she is asked a difficult and/or incriminating question, she will state “I ask you to refer to my opening statement...blah blah blah” This will enable her to have an “out” in answering those questions she (and her lawyers) believe will hurt her.

My prediction. Hillary will read an opening statement. Then, when asked difficult and/or incriminating questions, she will say “I refer to my opening statement, blah blah...” She will use this strategy to avoid answering these tough questions.

Mark my words.
