John Bolton: Hillary Clinton Came Up With 'Diplomatic Illness' To Avoid Benghazi Testimony

John Bolton, former U.N. ambassador under President George W. Bush, suggested Monday night that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fabricated a "diplomatic illness" in order to dodge scheduled testimony this week on the Sept. 11 anniversary attack in Benghazi, Libya.

Speaking on Fox News, Bolton claimed "every foreign service officer in every foreign ministry in the world" is familiar with coming up with such "diplomatic illnesses" when they "don't want to go to a meeting or a conference, or an event."

"And this is a diplomatic illness to beat the band," Bolton said of recent news that Clinton had fainted and suffered a concussion over the weekend after earlier battling a stomach virus that resulted in a rare cancellation of an overseas trip. He went on to add that he hoped Clinton wasn't going through anything "serious."

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, responded to the report by insisting that Clinton not testify as planned on Thursday this week.

Despite Kerry's decision to call forth Clinton's deputies to testify in her place, Bolton said that he believed she'd have to testify at some point on the attack, which claimed the lives of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

[Revolting cat!]

Now we will all understand and sympathize whenever Our Dear Hilly says “I do not recall”.

[Jumper]

Hillary could just fall back on the, “I don’t recall” responses which served her and Bill so well when testifying before Congress.

[ShasheMac]

Bill hit on her? We know ol’ Webb did, but Bill...?

[ColdOne]

as much as she has lied in her life you would think this testimony would be easy for her.

[ilovesarah2012]

Ya think???

[Rennes Templar]

Good one!

[Gargantua]

"...Trying to put her in a corner is like trying to harpoon a jelly fish."

Funny, that's what Bill used to say...

8^D

Good Lord, man. I'd love to call in sick at the hospital( back when I was working real hard for the money) and tell em,

"Um yes I have a diplomatic illness stage one so far but highly contagious when working around people who like the truth. This diplomatic illness is serious, check the medical dictionary, wait I''ll have the State department send a new hot off the presses one stat, buh bye."

( just bringing this up because what will happen with Obamacare, it was bad enough years ago. I mean gads, I'd be laughed then considered insubordinate if i used that as an excuse. Guess times have changed.)

She fell on her stack of Savings and Loan work files. First she couldn’t find them now she can’t help but trip on them.

[Don Corleone]

She fell and hit her head and is too sick to go to work for a week?

That's some injury- did she go to the hospital?

Simple answer..NO! Our nation is in the hands of unaccountable tyrants.

From Rush Limbaugh Radio:

I don't remember
My brain's in a blender
It's Jello

[timestax]

CNN...Wolf Blitzer implied that Hilary fainted when she thought she saw the ghost of VINCE FOSTER. Apparently the ghost was saying "Why did you shoot me"?

Hilary is reported to say it was an accidental shooting. I can believe that.

VINCE FOSTER alert !

[pollywog]

HA! Those awaiting her testimony ought to sing this in unison on national tv.

[newfreep]

She is waiting for the Benghazi report to be issued so she can have a story that at least tries to match some of the facts.

Unfortunately, she lied from the beginning - blaming the video - and refused additional requested security.

[hummingbird]

Of course she can say say “I can’t remember”.

She just had a concussion!/sarc

[hummingbird]

"She fell and hit her head and is too sick to go to work for a week?"

Can she file for "workers' compensation"?
