Hillary Clinton's Shameful Intimidation Of Gregory Hicks
Investor's Business Daily ^ | May 9, 2013 | IBD EDITORIALS

Scandal In Libya: The secretary of state in the most transparent administration in history has her chief of staff warn a Benghazi whistle-blower to not spill the beans on Benghazi to a U.S. congressman.

In the course of the career of Hillary Clinton's husband, William Jefferson Clinton, there were handlers delegated to deal with what were famously called "bimbo eruptions," past dalliances that might impede his political career.

Now on her own politically, Mrs. Clinton apparently has her own handlers, paid for by the U.S. taxpayer, to deal with what we'll call "Benghazi eruptions." Those who know the truth and are willing to speak it must be dealt with by intimidation.

One of the things we learned during Wednesday's hearings from Greg Hicks, the deputy chief of mission in Libya and a career foreign service officer for 22 years, is that after he talked to investigators about Benghazi, he received a searing phone reprimand from a very angry Cheryl Mills, who happened to be the chief of staff to his boss, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

In the State Department, when Cheryl Mills calls, you pick up the phone. She's been one of the Clintons' right-hand men, so to speak, for decades. She worked in Bill's White House legal office, then as counsel to Hillary's presidential campaign, and then became chief of staff at State when Hillary was appointed secretary. She knows how to help handle "eruptions, " bimbo or otherwise.

Has the MSM withdrawn support for democrats?

Individual members of the MSM have begun to where Hillary is concerned. I believe so much irrefutable evidence of the administration's craven dereliction of duty is going to come out over the next few months that reporters will have to choose between party loyalty and being taken seriously as adults. By September we could have the spectacle of a pack of hyenas ripping the former goddess to shreds in its pursuit of media acclaim and journalism awards.

Or maybe I am wrong and you are right. After all, I didn't think it was possible for Obama to be elected President of the United States. I also didn't think it was possible for him to be re-elected.

***I thought both were possible and probable, but I was surprised by how much influence the MSM still has, and that is even growing. They will not give up their power.
