Liberals think they are above the law. So far, largely, they have been right.
Trey: Well Madam Hillary! Tell us! where were you the night of the Benghazi Attacks!!!!
Hillary: well, uhm,,ahh,,,gee,,,Can I Phone A Friend?
Nothing but a pubbie side show amounting to nothing.
The fix is in, do nothing.
Tell me one thing they have accomplished in any hearing since 2008 or before that has accomplished anything?
They’ve had months of prep time and will use massive quantities of doggy downers just to keep her from having another fist shaking moment.
Any bets on whether we hear her blame another version of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?
I’m guessing it will be in her opening statement
What a disgrace.
“I’m a dirty little snot.”
is this going to be live on TV?
I’ll bet $100 to the freepathon that she loses it
The very first words spoken by Gowdy: “You have the right to remain silent.....”.
I think she'll be running the same gameplan as last time. After all, it worked with no major consequences. Her answers and demeanor probably wouldn't hold up in a court, but unfortunately, this is not a court and she can get away with it.
I just pray that Trey Gowdy has couple of aces up his sleeve to double down and send that bitch to jail!
She will say she wasn’t told and it was Kennedy that disapproved more security. But why is the story going around that Stevens refused (Stevens’ family) security? Somebody lied.
the hearing will be a waste of time ... they all might as well be hosting an ice cream and swimming pool poker game ...
Nothing will come of this, unfortunately.
I can’t find the time for the hearing tomorrow.. Does anyone know? Thanks.
PMS?
UNLESS YOU CAN GET C-SPAN3 .. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OR HEAR THE HEARINGS.
I’VE ALREADY SENT A MSG TO C-SPAN .. BECAUSE “3” REQUIRES A HIGHER LEVEL OF CABLE SERVICE .. ELIMINATING A VERY LARGE AUDIENCE.
WHICH IS PROBABLY WHAT THEY WANTED.
Maybe she will say, “when I get elected president, your a$$ is grass, and I’m a lawn mower.”

I read this on Face Book, don’t think I believe any of it, but read and then comment...I don’t think Gowdy would do any of this, and I don’t think he would run his committee that way.....
Congressional Democrats are up in arms over Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s recent admission that the House Benghazi Committee has been nothing but a political witch-hunt which used millions in taxpayer dollars to smear a presidential candidate. They’ve called for an investigation into the committee and have released a fact sheet specifically detailing the utter failure of Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and the House Benghazi committee to investigate the deaths of four Americans. It’s a damning indictment of the partisan misuse of Congressional time and money that is going to be remembered as one of the most disgraceful acts in American political history.
How the Benghazi Committee Targeted Hillary Clinton
1. Gowdy Cancelled All Planned Hearings Other Than Hillary Clinton’s After NYT Email Story
Before the New York Times broke its story on March 2 about Hillary’s Clinton’s emails, Gowdy had sent to Committee Members an investigative plan that set out monthly hearings with all the different agencies involved in preparing for and responding to the attacks in Benghazi, including the State Department, the Defense Department, and the Intelligence Community.
After the New York Times’ email story broke on March 2, however, Gowdy completely abandoned this plan and began focusing almost exclusively on Hillary Clinton.
Since then, Gowdy has not held any of the hearings on his schedule, and his upcoming hearing with Hillary Clinton is the only hearing now scheduled.
For example, Gowdy abandoned the hearing he had planned for April with former Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary Leon Panetta.
The Committee has never held even one public hearing with anyone from the Department of Defense. The Committee has held only one hearing with an intelligence official, but it was with the CIA’s head of Legislative Affairs regarding the status of document production.
2. Gowdy Dropped Key Interviews with Top Defense and Intelligence Leaders
Gowdy also abandoned plans he had made in February to start conducting interviews of the following top defense and intelligence leaders in April: former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, former CIA Director David Petraeus, General Martin Dempsey, and former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Matt Olsen.
He never invited any of these defense or intelligence leaders for interviews.
Gowdy then announced that he planned to start conducting the following interviews in June: former Defense Secretary Panetta, General Martin Dempsey, and General Carter Ham.
Those interviews were also abandoned.
3. Gowdy Scheduled New Interviews and Depositions of Hillary Clinton’s Associates
By the end of this month, Republicans will have interviewed or deposed 8 current or former Clinton campaign staffers, compared to only a total of four Defense Department officials.
Gowdy sent armed Marshals to serve a deposition subpoena on longtime Clinton associate Sidney Blumenthal despite the fact that he was completely cooperative and would have voluntarily appeared without a subpoena, but was never asked.
Gowdy later admitted that he “never expected Witness Blumenthal to be able to answer questions about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya.”
The Select Committee asked Blumenthal more than 160 questions about his relationship and communications with Clinton, but fewer than 20 questions about the Benghazi attacks; more than 50 questions about the Clinton Foundation, but only 4 about security in Benghazi; and more than 45 questions about David Brock, Media Matters and affiliated entities, but no questions at all about Ambassador Stevens or other personnel in Benghazi.
4. Gowdy Stepped Up Aggressive Press Campaign Against Hillary Clinton
Since March, Gowdy’s press releases have focused almost entirely on Secretary Clinton.
Over the past nine months, he has issued 22 press releases related to Secretary Clinton (including one on Sidney Blumenthal’s emails with Clinton), but only 5 press releases on any other topic during that period.
Of the 5 non-Clinton press releases, three (1, 2, 3) are about the State Department’s compliance with document production, one marks the anniversary of 9/11, and one is Gowdy’s interim progress report.
The only documents Gowdy has publicly released over the past 17 months were Clinton’s emails with Sidney Blumenthal, and Gowdy did this unilaterally with no debate or vote by the Select Committee.
At the same time, he has blocked the public release of Blumenthal’s deposition transcript, which would reveal all the questions Republicans asked about Hillary Clinton and other issues that have nothing to do with Benghazi.
Almost immediately after the interview with Cheryl Mills, Republicans began leaking inaccurate information to damage Clinton with unsubstantiated or previously debunked allegations, while refusing to release the complete transcript.
Gowdy refused to investigate or condemn a leak that made more unsubstantiated allegations against Clinton despite the fact that Politico was forced to correct a front-page story that relied on apparently doctored information about an email produced to the Select Committee.
5. Gowdy’s Taxpayer-Funded Political Campaign Against Clinton
The Committee was given an unlimited, taxpayer-funded budget, and it has now spent more than $4.6 million in one of the longest and least productive investigations in congressional history—focused on Clinton.
The Committee is being used by Republican fundraisers to attack Clinton.
The Committee’s attacks were described by the conservative PAC America Rising as a taxpayer-funded political activity: “This has all occurred without a single cent of paid advertising taking place.”
Gowdy’s name, image, and position has been used to solicit political donations by Stop Hillary PAC, which describes itself as “created for one reason only—to ensure Hillary Clinton never becomes President of the United States.
Gowdy appeared at a GOP political event in June where local Rep. Chuck Fleischmann explained: “Whether you are Hillary Clinton or any other lefty out there, you better beware because Trey Gowdy is out there and he is going to get you.”
Gowdy reportedly does not plan to release his findings until “just months before the 2016 presidential election.”
Gowdy’s approach has been criticized even by conservative commentators: “Whatever the findings are in this investigation—it will forever be plagued by allegations of unfairness, and politics if this investigation is dragged into 2016. That would not be fair to the American people.”
It’s clear from this report that the House Committee on Benghazi already had its conclusion written – that Hillary Clinton was somehow guilty – and the proceedings were nothing but a formality, a cursory lip service to due process in one of the most disgraceful smear campaign ever perpetrated by American elected officials. It is time for this committee to be shut down, and for a new one to be instituted in its place- to investigate House committee members for their gross ethics violations and misuse of public funds.
