Hillary Clinton WILL testify about Benghazi consulate attack despite concussion and blood clot
The Daily Mail ^ | 09:31 EST, 3 January 2013 | DAILY MAIL REPORTER

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

Unlike many at this forum who think all of this is a conspriacy to keep her from testifying I say that is nonsense. Hillary is a trained professional liar and obfuscator and will have no problem cleaning the floor with these amateur RINOs. The dems will treat her gingerly and make the timid questioning by the RINOs look mean. It will be much ado about nothing. She will obfuscate, bob and weave, admit we should have done more, state we have learned lessons and not condescend to providing any useful information. We will never get the truth out of this administration.

GOP is once again getting played.

I can hear it now.

All that work for nothing.

She hits herself in the head with a hammer to cause a blood clot on her non-functioning marxist brain to avoid testifying and now she’s going to testify. At least she’ll have an excuse for giving short choppy sentences that mean and go nowhere.

This is a lovely picture of her rapist husband thingy and her glamourous daughter. Billy Goat looks like a randy old homeless reprobate.

This is truly a photo of a happy and well adjusted family.

Wonder how many abortions Hillary had before giving birth to their only child?

Chelsea looks pretty damn hot standing there next to mom.

Mom is about as white as the lab coat on the doctor behind her!

One look at her tells me that she’s not going to be president - ever. By 2016 she’s going to look 5x worse -

Even at that she'd still be an improvement.

if she’s around at all.

She'd still be an improvement...

Fully agree, that being said, she's not above any theater to further damage the evil, mean, nasty webublicans and strengthen her own brand.

I have to agree. She does now and will look more later, withered.

Chelsea has had major “work done”. Previously she was one butt ugly kid.

as for Cankles, she has had NOTHING done but needs to. Maybe they could start by sanding off her entire face and starting over,
A face transplant...like in the soaps.

Definitely. Kick em when they’re up. Kick em when they’re down. They will use the hearings to go on the offense not defense. The dems will somehow blame the pubs for benghazi. Sounds absurd but they will try and the MSM will help. We now live in a alternate reality. I just hope one conservative at that hearing tells the plain truth and gets it into the record.

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

He could be a butcher the way he’s dressed, or someone who works at a deli.

“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.’”

NOBODY with any sense should expect less from those cognizant of the games, the lies that Hillary has played throughout her career as a sham politician, thus will play again since she has never been jacked up against a wall for her lies. In the past her lies are either glossed over, or ignored, and the “smartest woman” continues on playing the World as though she’s a little girl making up scenarios, playing with her dolls.

I think Chelsea has had plastic surgery or some kind of makeover in the past.

Plastic surgery, dark shades to cover up the fresh scars.

Mary, they’d have to remove her brain and put it in the cranium of a freshly killed corpse. Perhaps they could use the body of Isabella Rosselini, or some other glamorous star.

Hillary’s body is just too fat and lumpy.
