Hillary Clinton testifies before the House Select Committee on Benghazi, which is investigating the events surrounding the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate there, in which Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others died.
Airing LIVE Thursday, Oct 22 10:00am EDT on C-SPAN3
Yep, she might as well answer it and take Obama along with her to jail. Oh wait, she has enough money to pay everyone off. What was I thinking?

1."Who originated the video idea?"
2."Who gave the stand down order?"
Wish I could ask them these two right now. : ) Would give anything to be able to.
Hillary, "I was not responsible for specific security requests and decisions." Just great.
The video issue came up first in Cairo. It had some exposure on Egyptian TV. This allegedly caused the demonstration against our Embassy in Cairo. Prior to the demonstration, our embassy in Cairo issued a statement apologizing for the video stating it did not come from the USG.
Who first thought of it and uttered it, first?
Cairo and then in the State Department release issued the night of the attack. Jim Jordan said that it came from Hillary.
TY! (I thought C-Span went to something else)
White House to Susan Rice: Blame the Video for Benghazi Attack
Blame the video, not the president’s foreign policy. That was the White House’s advice to Susan Rice as she prepared to appear on Sunday morning talk shows after the terrorist attack in Benghazi.
A newly released email collected by Judicial Watch in response to a FOIA request shows the White House pushed Ambassador Susan Rice to promote the idea that an internet video mocking Islam, not President Obama’s foreign policy, was responsible for attacks in the Middle East, including the one in Benghazi.

On the Saturday prior to Rice’s appearance, the White House organized a conference call with a dozen press people including Jay Carney, David Plouffe, and Dan Pfeiffer. The purpose of the call was to prepare Rice for her appearance on all of the Sunday shows the following morning. In preparation for the conference call, White House adviser Ben Rhodes sent out a list of talking points Friday night with the subject “RE: PREP CALL with Susan: Saturday at 4:00 pm ET.”
The document opens with a section labeled “Goals” followed by four bullet points. These are not talking points per se, rather they are concepts the White House hoped Rice would communicate on television. Point one is “to convey that the United States is doing everything that we can to protect our people and facilities abroad.”
Point two reads, “To underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video, and not a broader failure of policy.” Notice that this was framed as part of an either-or response. Either this was a failure of policy or it was the result of an internet video; the White House wanted Rice to make clear it was definitely the video that was to blame.
Oops! My goodness.
Reb Schiff, absence of discernment
I thought they said his last contact before his Vegas trip was at 4 PM....and it wasn’t with her.
...shame on you bastards for TRYING to cover her ass
Yeah, but he is running circles around the Republicans. In fact, the DEMS own the hearing.
Even more gross is this guy Schiff thinks he is some security expert............
Let me say this again.
Obama used his State Department to organize and execute and illegal arms smuggling to the Al Qaeda/Militant Islamics in Syria to fight Assad.
They had many weapons in Libya due to the fall of Quadafi.
Clinton and the ambassador were in the middle of it and Stevens was the point man.
He was dealing with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt who provided him with go-betweens in Libya.
Somewhere in the mix, the group of militants dealing with Stevens decided that the 911 anniversary was a good day to “get some,” and kill important Americans.
When that went down, Clinton and Obama went into duck and cover, shuck and jive mode, and created a colossal lie about the whole thing.
They also refused to allow any type of help to those under attack.
A General (Africa Command) and an Admiral (Med) tried to help, and they were ultimately summarily relieved of command for intending to do so despite Obama’s orders.
Obama and Hillary are guilty of numerous very serious felonies. Treason (IMHO), accessories to murder, Obstruction of Justice, and the list goes on and on.
IMHO, that is the heart of the matter and what this committee and investigation should get at.
Obama and Hillary both should spend the rest of their miserable lives in Leavenworth. In any truly just world they would.
...and let me add a big screw you to McCarthy for running his mouth and helping them.
I have come to the conclusion that Democrats have no conscience. They only care about their power and keeping it. These pigs should be cut off from the money trough. And held accountable for all their criminality.
What you become aware of is that she has all the info they are throwing at her in that notebook. In other words, nothing is off the cuff...not the questions about the data in the books or her answers. It’s all rehearsed except they don’t know her answers....or who wrote them for her.
Hey Schiff, do you have an actual question? If not. Shut up
