The State Department slammed former United Nations envoy John Bolton over his suggestion that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton falsely claimed a concussion to avoid a potentially embarrassing appearance before Congress to explain the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

Hillary, like so many others, are victims of their own lying history. Once they have been caught in a lie, nothing from their mouths can be trusted.

Maybe she was not sick but fell while dodging those imaginary bullets she told us about during her Presidential campaign.

The State Department is a viper pit of communist sympathizers and for them to take anyone to task for pointing out their lying ways is simply absurd.

Oh dear!

Is it against Hippa regs to tell us what hospital she went to after her debilitating “fall”? Or did they fly in a private medical team?
LOL!

Not that I believe she couldn't just get a doctors note called in from Wisconsin...

God bless John Bolton!

John Bolton has intestinal fortitude—something sorely missing in GOP leadership.

Hillary is the one that came up with the “spontaneous” lie.

It's the second time this lie has been used.

The first time was following the terrorist threat in NYC Bloomberg popped his mouth off about in October 2005.

Hillary was the one that leaked the classified info about the attack, and it was Hillary's minions that began making preparations for the attack.

They tried to use the lie with the release of Bin Ladens tape in January 2006.

In the tape UBL said preparations were being made for an attack. They tried to make it appear as if UBL was picking up on a news story created by the left, and planned an attack based on that news story.

It is almost exactly the same as the “spontaneous” lie, it was created by the same person, and Jug ears wasn't even around in 2006.

Considering the report on Benghazi that came out today, I suggest she is avoiding the press as well as the hearing chambers.

Bolton: record of accomplishment and demonstrated intellect.

Hillabeast: hidden, then found Rose Law firm records, “I don’t recall...” When testifying om those records ( with the sought after parts mysteriously missing,) boinked her way into fame, never had a real job.

Who to believe, who to believe.....

A well connected Republican (not me) whispered in my ear that Hillary, who is leaving the Administration, is simply unwilling to read from Obama's script any longer. I have a hard time getting warm to the idea of Hillary Clinton: Paragon of Virtue, but I can certainly understand not wanting to lie for Obama. Especially if one harbored ambitions down the road.

So instead of lying for Obama she decides to withhold information...for Obama.

She’ll testify when she recovers, you’ll see, mark my words. But the unfortunate lasting effects of this tragic accident will be such that Our Hilly will be forced by her medical condition to answer questions by saying “I do not recall”.

Let us hope that Hilly doesn’t have to overuse her allotment of allowable yearly sick days, or there’ll be trouble!

LOL! I didn’t see that. Good one. When Hillary’s “concussion” thing broke, I tended to believe it. Now, I’m convinced it’s all BS. “Concussions” were the “Injury Of The Year” for 2012. Football and even NASCAR.

I think you will enjoy this military history of Hillary. What a heroine. (But first, it goes through lots of the bad stuff)
