Today is the day. After months, even years of anticipation, former Secretary of State and current Democrat presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton will testify under oath in front of the Benghazi Select Committee.
Clinton will not only testify about what happened on the night of September 11, 2012, but will be asked a series of questions about her use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State. Since the Select Committee discovered her private server earlier this year, we've learned Clinton had at least 400 documents considered classified, with at least four deemed top secret, on her server. During a press conference at the UN earlier in March, Clinton denied having any classified information on her server, sent or received. She is under FBI criminal investigation as a result.
In addition long time ally Sidney Blumenthal, who provided faulty intelligence to Clinton during her time at the State Department despite President Obama barring him from working in his administration, will reportedly be a heavy topic of discussion.
Breitbart News has learned that Blumenthal will factor heavily in the Committee’s questions for Clinton, who utilized the political adviser as her top source of Libya information despite the fact that Blumenthal did not seem to know much about the country.
Clinton, who pushed Blumenthal’s personal business interests in Libya, relied on intelligence that Blumenthal was getting from former CIA spy Tyler Drumheller. According to email releases, Blumenthal and Drumheller seemed to have been the main source of information, even as Clinton was actively intervening in the nation of Libya.
Over the past few weeks, the Select Committee has come under heavy fire from Democrats after Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy suggested during an interview on Hannity that the Committee was created to bring down Clinton's presidential poll numbers. Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy and Ranking Member Elijah Cummings have been battling for weeks over the disclosure of information and both sides have expressed allegations of politicizing the issue.
This week, Clinton's team has been on offense before her testimony, making repeated efforts to discredit the Committee's credibility.
Hillary Clinton and her supporters are blistering the Benghazi committee ahead of her much-anticipated testimony Thursday, repeatedly questioning the GOP-led investigative panel’s “credibility” as the former secretary of state gears up for a potentially confrontational appearance.
On Wednesday, a super PAC supporting Clinton’s Democratic presidential campaign, Priorities USA, will begin running TV ads aimed at bolstering her image ahead of her appearance before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
Late last week, Clinton's top aide and long time confidant Huma Abedin appeared before the Committee in a closed door session.
The hearing starts at 10 a.m. et.
I turned off the sound during her moving lips session, where she lied slowly as she ran out the clock.
Rep Roskam up, asks question, Clinton predictably bloviating and saying nothing.
He pauses and lets Herk read notes from her staff. He’s asking why there was no security.
HRK throws Obama under the bus...it was ultimately his decision.
NATO and Arab League asking for cooperation.
Again she fingers Obama.
Libya disaster ping!
LIE-ja up, muting sound.
Same here. I’m tired of her smug Jezebel look.
Here’s that link on the video:
An excerpt:
“These documents show the Obama White House rushed to tie yet another video to the Benghazi attack, even before Ambassador Stevens was accounted for. The Obama White House, evidently, was confused as to which Internet video to falsely blame for the Benghazi terrorist attack,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “These documents show that the Obama White House should have been focused on rescuing our people under fire. These documents detail delays and lack of support that raise questions about whether American lives were needlessly lost and put at risk during the Benghazi attack.”
Were you personally briefed before you sent Ambassador Stevens into Benghazi?
Jeff Feldman.
Email from Stevens 5 days before Benghazi where he considered leaving. Always going to be a constant risk and we knew that.
Not single email in your records regarding a bomb explosion in 2012.
I didn’t have a computer in my office. Most work done on secure phones and in live meetings.
How were you informed about bomb attacks on our compounds in 2012?
Which is meaningless.
Wasn’t he the guy that was leaking stuff to the media?
All she has to do is show up, say, “I don’t recall”, smile a little, and the American people will rally behind her. She knows that.
No explanation why they did not get help or why no one was fired.
I already know this is a dog and pony show. It has been over 3 years and she is not in jail.
All eyes on Hillary...? Eye Bleach required!
"How many damn questions do I have to answer?"
The American people, who shun truth wherever they can, don’t require her to answer any questions.
