I was once a technocrat in a small southwestern state.

I was frequently asked to appear before one or more committee(s) of the state legislature to testify on this or that.

I respectfully declined every time.

While I disagree with Hillary Clinton on almost everything else, I admire her for doing this.

She has more low-hanging gonads in my book than all 3 branches of the federal government combined.

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.

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!

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

You have GOT to be kidding!

This is no minor technocratic issue.

This is a HUGE issue which involves our national security and for which the SOS is directly responsible (bombing of US embassy is under SOS purview).

And yet the SOS can't honor the country by testifying? PLEASE!

Did matters pertaining to “this or that” relate to the deaths of anyone you were responsible for protecting? Or examining conditions which may effect safety of others in the future? Would you have still declined if that was the case?
