Apparently Gowdy asked Clinton, through Elijah Cummings, whether she wanted another closed hearing before the Committee, or an open hearing. Hillary chose the open hearing, and Cummings was picked to set the date.
As for Hillary, I have written on this before, it was in her best interest to travel, farm out her day to day J O B, in Washington, to the Undersecretary of State, and to then arrange for the Department of Defense to do her J O B, in Libya, making them responsible for doing the heavy lifting on Benghazi and Tripoli security measures.
Defense then farmed out the on site security, in Benghazi, to the CIA contractors, who died.
It was Hillary’s idea of power, celebrity and competence to know nothing, see nothing and hear nothing that would be a direct line to her. The buck never got near her.
Her job was to fly off and graze the buffet lines of foreign countries, maybe talk about women and girls, and raise money for the Clinton Foundation.
The bubble was intentionally developed around her and that is why the hearings, under Gowdy, are going to lead right up the chain to the Under Secretary of State. What is his name, Liz? Patrick ???? somebody.
A-m-e-n. Explains why her "testimony" was so vague.
The beast really does "know nothing."
