In her latest round of testimony on the Benghazi attack that left four Americans dead, Hillary Clinton, secretary of state at the time of the attack, was exposed as a liar. But she was careful to avoid any serious scrutiny of the 800-pound gorilla in the room: the Obama administration's widely reported gun-running programs for jihadists battling former U.S. government terror-war allies in Libya and Syria. When questioned, Clinton denied any knowledge of such a program, only to be confronted with an e-mail in which she proposed doing precisely that via proxies. Indeed, the fact that Obama has been arming jihadists in Syria is today beyond dispute.
Facing a question by Representative Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) before the House Select Committee on Benghazi, which is investigating the attacks, about whether Clinton knew of a gun-running scheme to Libyan rebels, Clinton said, I think the answer is no. Note the caveat. Asked if she knew whether the U.S. government or its proxies were sending weapons to Syrian rebels from Libya, Clinton also said no. Did you ever consider the idea of using private security experts to arm the opposition? Pompeo asked. Clinton responded: Not seriously, no.

But, even when she did not outright lie, she was also remarkably evasive and not at all forthcoming.
The true story of what happened still needs to be told. Some of the information has finally been made public but there is still much that is covered up.
Clinton Exposed as Liar in Benghazigate Hearings, DEMOCRATS APPLAUD
Those 9/12 emails showed she had told her own daughter, the president of Egypt, and another I can't remember that the attack was by terrorists, not some spontaneous protest. Again, the day after, but she and Obama and Susan Rice kept the charade up for about 2 weeks.
She was sworn in to oath (although in secret - not good) and that is perjury. There is no doubt she lied at least twice to a Congressional committee. Sure she lied more, but your above and my point are on record as perjury.
Hilary is a lying Commie!!!
Unfortunately, according to most press sources (liberal and conservative), Hillary WON the Benghazi hearings big time, looked “Presidential” (despite the witch’s cackles), and is on her way to a “coronation”.
This is apparently despite talking points such as these:
This is all VERY unfortunate!!!! Hillary is extremely dangerous, will continue the obamunist destruction of America, and will likely get us into WWIII. This witch MUST be destroyed!!!!
I know you people are going to hate this remark, but I’m making it anyway....the only way we will get the truth of Benghazi is if Putin gives it to us...he knows...a lot of people know....but our government is going to let her walk because everybody I know in government right now is spineless....
Or this: "Clinton Exposed as Liar in Benghazigate Hearings, POLL NUMBERS INCREASE"
I hate to say it but I think Clinton came out on top yesterday. I believe she will benefit from yesterday's hearings in the eyes of many voters.
She sounded cool and collected. The people grilling her sounded unhinged. Flame suit on.
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
There is no proof she was sworn in.
Official: “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”
Hillary: “No.”
And she said that Stevens died of smoke inhalation instead of admitting he was tortured to death.
The MSM calls this disaster-for-Hillary, a “victory” for her. Her lies, indifference to the fate of her underlings, inattention to details, illegalities, falsehoods, and reliance on friend, Sydney Blumenthal, notwithstanding.
Gowdy said she had been previously sworn in and that swearing in remained in place.
Clinton Exposed as Liar in Benghazigate Hearings, but Secrets Remain
Hillary Clinton clearly perjured herself during her testimony before the House Benghazi subcommittee.
A real executive would have resigned and retired after the debacle at Benghazi.
For whatever reasons, she won’t do that.
No matter the outcome of these hearings, Hillary Clinton has left a stench on the State Department and the federal government. She is going to do the typical Hillary and be a dirty little snot.
Her punishment should take that into consideration.
How about THAT *face* as Potus....?
Well, now. That's a Felony if she's under oath.
She also committed perjury when asked if she was alone after going home on night of attack
There was a series of innocent sounding questions leading up to the target question. “Where you alone? “
Answer was easy yes-no. If no she could have added staff was in place or Secret service was on duty. All innocent answers
Instead she answered with the cackle. It is an uncontrollable reaction indicating a guilty response to being found out
With modern security cameras, logs by secret service etc the questioner knew she wasn’t alone before asking the question. Hillary chose to commit perjury rather than give up her companion and or activity
Other shoe will fall when clock strikes
It amazes me how many people want to elect as president someone who clearly used a terrorist attack where 4 Americans were murdered as a political thing to be manipulated and lied about.
I kept hearing her say “ask the security professionals.” Is she not a professional? If she is not professional enough to handle the issues of Secretary of State, why would she be professional enough to handle the issues of the presidency? When national security issues threaten is she going to pull the same thing? “It is not my fault. Ask the professions.”
