Clinton Exposed as Liar in Benghazigate Hearings, but Secrets Remain
The New American ^ | October 23, 2015 | Alex Newman

Posted on 10/23/2015 2:15:50 PM PDT by detective

In her latest round of testimony on the Benghazi attack that left four Americans dead, Hillary Clinton, secretary of state at the time of the attack, was exposed as a liar. But she was careful to avoid any “serious” scrutiny of the 800-pound gorilla in the room: the Obama administration's widely reported gun-running programs for jihadists battling former U.S. government terror-war allies in Libya and Syria. When questioned, Clinton denied any knowledge of such a program, only to be confronted with an e-mail in which she proposed doing precisely that via proxies. Indeed, the fact that Obama has been arming jihadists in Syria is today beyond dispute.

Facing a question by Representative Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) before the House Select Committee on Benghazi, which is investigating the attacks, about whether Clinton knew of a gun-running scheme to Libyan rebels, Clinton said, “I think the answer is no.” Note the caveat. Asked if she knew whether the U.S. government or its proxies were sending weapons to Syrian “rebels” from Libya, Clinton also said no. “Did you ever consider the idea of using private security experts to arm the opposition?” Pompeo asked. Clinton responded: “Not seriously, no.”

The only way this person will ever tell the truth about anything is after 15 mins on a waterboard . Placed there by the Joint Military Governing Counsel , after they are in power . May that day soon come .

Nothing funny or of major significance about the questions leading up to that simple “innocent” question.
Her guilt is evident by her cackle. The only question that remains is what has she done to make her feel guilty ....

“A real executive would have resigned and retired after the debacle at Benghazi. For whatever reasons, she won’t do that.”

Of course not. This is the Beast of Benghazi, the vilest piece of trash in America we’re talking about. After all, remember that her co-president Slick was IMPEACHED and refused to step down. Stinking Dim-o-crats have no class or decency; they never step down. Only Republicans do.

I don’t know why Gowdy didn’t ask a follow up question on that subject from two years ago. When he asked that question of her then, she replied - with a lie of course, “To Turkey? Not to my knowledge.” When he pressed her on it, she said she’d get an answer from “the agency” and get back to him. Why didn’t he ask her yesterday if she had the answer for him? Pompeo is the only one who came close to it.

The MSM calls this disaster-for-Hillary, a “victory” for her. Her lies, indifference to the fate of her underlings, inattention to details, illegalities, falsehoods, and reliance on friend, Sydney Blumenthal, notwithstanding.

They're right.

The House Committee tried to take her out yesterday. Everything bounced right off her. No wonder Fox News pulled the plug early.

Hillary is going to benefit from yesterday's hearing, as disgraceful as that is.

Yeah, and I want to see Taylor Swift naked.

I think the likelihood of either of these occurrences taking place are about the same.

She already has. Here in Tampa, Florida, Baynews9 and TBO both had stories titled<, Hillary remains above the fray. The media will turn it into a victory for her and the idiots will never know. Nor will they care.

That's the way it is everywhere. Because that's the way it went down.

The hearing was a disaster for House Committee Republicans. Hillary won.

I hate to say it but it's true. We all but gave her an 11-hour long campaign commercial.

I know FReepers will disagree. "Trey Gowdy was awesome! He's a prosecutor!"

No, he wasn't. Hillary chewed him up and spit him out and that's all millions of non-FReepers are going to see it.

Because this is a charade. Yesterday's show was rehearsed and it's outcome prepared a couple of weeks ago. The RATS let the Pubs look like they are trying to get to the bottom of this for their base and in return - the Pubs let the RATS off the hook for high crimes and misdemeanors - nice set up, huh?

We should get used to President Hillary and “first lady” Huma.

Her facade cracked along with her ‘youthful’ makeup job...anyone else notice how her cheeks started to crack along with her deceptive answers??

Bottom line: she ignored 600 requests for security while attempting to enhance her status as the engineer of Libya freedom,and she either originated or agreed with the lie to the citizens that it was a demonstration, not an attack.

What kind of fool would want this liar for President??
