House investigators asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify next week about the September 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi, but she declined citing a scheduling conflict.

“[Clinton] was asked to appear at House Foreign Affairs next week, and we have written back to the Chairman to say that she’ll be on travel next week,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters yesterday. “She has a commitment with the Secretary of Defense to the AUSMIN Ministerial.” Per AFP, “AUSMIN is the highest level forum for Australia and US consultation on foreign policy, defense and strategic issues.” The United States is reportedly concerned about Australia’s plan to cut their defense spending.

She’s directly involved with the death of Americans - something she could have prevented and then she lied through her teeth and gave a little speech about a video that sounded like she was reading to 4 year olds.

I wouldn’t call her hiding in some other country admirable.

Why bother with her? Hillary gives only one answer in these investigations - “I don’t remember"

Just like with the Rose Law Firm records that just happened to end up in the White House during the Klintoon years.

Wasn’t she supposed to step down? Maybe she’ll be packing her office that day and making reservations for flights outta Dodge.

We have found plenty of weaknesses. No one cares.

You wouldn't, I did. She can gain nothing by talking to Congress about that at this point.

If I did something tomorrow that Congress or the President sought to either recognize or inquire about, I would respectfully decline.

I respectfully disagree Venison Man.

There may be many trivial matters for which non-appearance is justified. But in this case there are critical matters for the security of the US including possible treasonous actions on the part of someone high up on the pyramid. She must testify and do so truthfully - sworn testimony!

The big people only talk to the little people when it suits them. “All animals are equal, but some are more equal then others.” Hill is much more equal then the rest of us.

This IS now a banana republic.

It'll be official if her plane has one of those 'Ron Brown' final approach problems...

She is accountable only to her master? Her office is the creation of Congress, her salary is paid by the Treasury. A certain deference is in order. Even somewhat who is a millionaire many times, over. Something is going on here that concerns her interest

Subpoena the Witch. I want to see her plead the 5th.

She can run but she can’t hide. Get her before she jumps ship like Petreaus.

declines?” that’s not how it works, Congress

Congress apparently can only make important people testify in National Security matters like Roger Clemens.

The next week she will need to do the laundry and the next week get a new hair style and the next week take a bath and the next week..and the next week..., until she is no longer Secretary of State and has her own lawyer as a private citizen and can't reveal secrets she learned as Secretary of State.

I think we have to wait for Petraeus to tell the truth to start the truth coming out.

oh but a baseball game is SO very much more important than the wholesale sabotage of American defenses and national security in the promotion of the next world-wide Islamicist Caliphate (dictatorship, empire)

you just need to get your priorities straight...
