Hillary Clinton WILL testify about Benghazi consulate attack despite concussion and blood clot

Going home: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton left New York-Presbyterian Hospital on Wednesday after being treated for a blood clot

Republicans have been battering the Obama Administration and any officials associated with the September 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate, which killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

The Washington Post reports that Clinton 'remains committed' to appearing in front of the Congressional committees, though no date has been set.

The new House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, Rep Edward Royce, said the government accountability report on the attack points to 'an unacceptable failure of leadership' leading up to the attack.

Some Senate Republicans have threatened to block the confirmation of Sen John Kerry, Clinton's successor as Secretary of State, until Clinton testifies.

Clinton has long said she planned to leave the job as the nation's top diplomat after Obama's first term.

. Her physicians say she suffered no stroke or neurological damage as a result of the clot. She is expected to make a full recovery.

Clinton's illness led her to cancel an overseas trip and scheduled testimony before Congress about the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

When her absence was reported, several pundits and newspapers accused Clinton of making her illness seem worse than it was to dodge questions from lawmakers over the attack, which has been blamed on lax security installed by the State Department.

The New York Post called her concussion a 'head fake.' Florida Rep Allan West said Clinton had a case of the 'Benghazi flu,' while Fox News contributer Charles Krauthammer dubbed it an 'acute Benghazi allergy.'


Hot seat: Republicans have demanded the Secretary of State's appearance to testify about the security failures that led to the attack

How brave! Despite a concussion and a blood clot, SHE will TESTIFY, brothers and sisters....TESTIFY...endangering her own well-being and health so that YOU can get the answers YOU WANT and DESERVE!

I can hear it now...”Uh...Thats one of the things I just can’t recall, Senator....”

One think I note of the picture Bill and Chelsea look like they actually may be from the same gene pool. She alway had the Web Hubble look. This picture makes me take a double take.

Very odd they felt the need to include what appears to be a doctor in the photo, as they are leaving

She still looks like Webb Hubbel not the fake daddy, Monica’s boyfriend, behind her.

Isn’t that the “stealing-the-silver-from-the-White-House” coat Hillary has on?

Prepare for a puff pass, given her trevails. The Dems will be apoplectic with any serious questions posed to the Perpetually Untouchable One, and then there’s the hired guns media serving as Evita’s personal protection.

Riding the Xmas sleigh is a lot less dangerous than riding the Halloween witch's broom across the Harvest Moon sky.
