My heart goes out to Mr. Woods and the families of all of the victims. But if he is looking for the truth, Washington D C is the wrong place. That cess pool has not seen the truth since George Washington left for Mt Vernon.

If I were on a jury trying Hillary for perjury, I would find her claim that she didn’t solicit information from Blumenthal to be perjury. That’s just one count of many.

From (excellent) article:

Clinton misled the committee on topics big and small, on issues crucial to the inquiry and irrelevant to it.

*She called the Accountability Review Board “nonpartisan” and “independent.” It was neither. Clinton hand-picked the co-chairmen. They never interviewed her and never saw her emails. They provided a draft copy of the final report to Clinton’s chief of staff for editing and tipped off the State Department about potentially problematic witnesses.

*Clinton downplayed her role in Libya policymaking, suggesting she was just a bit player in Obama’s decision to intervene. But an email from Jake Sullivan, a senior Clinton adviser, laid out her “leadership on Libya.”

*Clinton once again claimed that emails to her from Sidney Blumenthal were “unsolicited.” Asked to define “unsolicited,” Clinton explained: “It means I did not ask him to send” the emails. But her responses repeatedly show her soliciting more information from Blumenthal. In a July 7, 2012, email to Blumenthal, she writes: “...and thanks for keeping this stuff coming.”

*Clinton said of Blumenthal’s commercial pursuits in Libya: “I did not know anything of his business interests.” But Blumenthal laid out those interests in an email to Clinton previewing an upcoming meeting she was to have. Clinton’s response to that email indicates that she was not only aware of his business interests, she was eager to help further them. She wrote: “Anything else to convey?”

*Clinton testified that Blumenthal was neither an “official or unofficial” adviser and said he “wasn’t advising me.” But Clinton testified Thursday that she found Blumenthal’s information “useful.” She regularly sent Blumenthal’s information on to others in the Obama administration, often with instructions to follow up on those emails. Blumenthal’s thoughts were included in Clinton’s public remarks and her private correspondence. Top Clinton adviser Jake Sullivan wrote to Clinton: “The speechwriting crew is taking Sid’s points below and massaging them into a set of remarks.”

*Clinton claims that there was no classified information at U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi. And she downplays suggestions that there was “sensitive” information there either. It depends how you define “sensitive,” she said. But the Washington Post reported: “More than three weeks after attacks in this city killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, sensitive documents remained only loosely secured in the remains of the U.S. mission.”

*Gowdy asked Clinton whether the Accountability Review Board had access to her emails. The correct answer is the obvious one: “No.” But when Gowdy asked Clinton, she disingenously left open the possibility that they had.

*Clinton claimed her emails about Libya with Blumenthal were not work-related. But emails show that Blumethal’s emails a offered policy advice on Libya and often shared them with senior State Department officials. The question isn’t whether those emails were “work-related” – they surely were. The question is what other work-related emails Clinton kept private with the claim that they were merely “personal.”

Thanks for posting this. It is very poignant. What a dear man, Mr. Woods, and great integrity to show up on behalf of his son, despite the personal pain.

Rest In Peace, Tyrone.

Everybody in America.....everybody.....knows that Hillary was responsible for Benghazi.

I paid her wages.

I want to know what happened. I want to know why four Americans, including a United States Ambassador, were murdered in Benghazi.

What I don’t want, is for this former employee to sit there under oath playing word games with the people we elected to keep a watch over this government.

And if the President, who is also my employee, is trying to cover for her, then I want the FBI Agents whose salaries I also pay, to look into what kind of shenanigans he’s up to.

We don’t have an aristocracy. If we did, it damn sure wouldn’t consist of dirty little snots like Hillary.
