Senate hearing: 9:00a.m. EST. House hearing: 2:00 p.m. EST
Watch live here. Also on C-SPAN 3.
In her first testimony since the Benghazi attack, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will participate in a full day of hearings Wednesday about U.S. diplomatic security and the American mission in Libya.
Sec. Clinton will appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the morning followed by an afternoon testimony to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. In December, the State Department's highest ranking foreign service officers, William Burns and Thomas Nides, testified before Congressional lawmakers in the Secretary's place. They discussed a new report by an independent panel assessing the Benghazi attack.
Deputy Sec. Nides put several recommendations from a report on the attack into effect before the end of 2012. Implementing the rest, Nides said, will be underway by the time the next Secretary of State takes office. Three State Department officials have resigned since the report was released.
The two officials were substituting for Secretary Clinton, who was recovering from a concussion she suffered after fainting due to dehydration from a stomach virus.
Four Americans were killed in that attack, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens. Congress is investigating whether the State Department denied a request for extra security at that outpost earlier in the year and what actions were taken in the moments after the attack began.
This theater is a waste of time. We will never be told the truth and justice will not be served. While I am disappointed, I am not at all surprised.
Is lindsay graham on the list?
Where’s Huma?
She walked in with the entourage when Hillary entered the chamber. I wish someone would ask about the Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama administration - fat chance!
If that is true, I would walk to hell and back again just to walk on their prostrated bodies with nails attached to the soles of my shoes. LONG ones. Cement nails. Tree spikes.
>Just wondering. Are thick glasses more likely to have the prisms required to correct vision problems caused by a stroke???<
If you look at her photos from college, she wore very thick glasses then. Has she gone back to spectacles from contacts to make herself look more “older stateswoman” like?
Thanks.
Udall talking about cook stoves - wtf?
Love the photo on the right of Hillary on Drudge during this hearing. She looks totally out of control.
What’s with the “honorable” title??? That alone puts these “hearings” in question.
Cook stoves in 3rd world countries.Give me a frigen break..this is a Bengazi hearing
This so not about Benghazi.
this is about “moving on”.
detestable and disgusting.
I have never thought of Hillary as capable, engaged, or caring. she certainly is a failure as a Secretary of State, but according to ALL of these Senators, she is the Second Coming of Christ.
Udall of NM up, talking about “cook stoves” as another Hillary success story.
Excuse me, I am engaged now in uncontrollable projectile vomiting.
Don't ask me what happened cause I won't friggin' tell ya. I am here to tell you that it won't happen again that's the administrations talking point.!!
It was decided by axelrod and he forwarded it to Jarrett. That's what I am supposed to say!! Only that we don't want it to happen again.
So stop asking me what happend!! I won't tell you anything.
This is the game .
More petting of the Hildebeast by Udall. Listing her accomplishments now. We have dead Americans and he’s praising her for “cookstoves” being provided to third world countries....Lord have mercy.....
Discussing the fine balance between “engagement and security.”
I wouldn’t listen to this lying Clinton if somebody offered me a thousand dollars. Been watching the Western Channel all morning. Matt Dillon does not lie.
Those in Washington would do well to remember “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8.
As obama says, just another bump in the road.

Yes, Barasso did well raising the “strong security presence in Benghazi” quotes.
