Former Secretary of State and likely 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has agreed to testify before the House Select Committee on the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi.

Reportedly, she was first contacted in that regard by the committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings.

According to reports, neither Clinton nor a spokesperson on her behalf has commented on her pending appearance.

For those who have hope, odds are on disappointment.

The setup was to not get subpoenaed, but quickly announce through democratic operatives on the committee that she’s volunteering.

They should issue a subpoena just for the record though.

“Do you recall that while testifying before congressional investigators as first lady, she answered “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember” 250 times?”

I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right. I could also see some far left Warren supporters making sure it goes south for Hillary. The perjury charge wouldn’t be filled though.

Keep count of the number of times Hillary answers with “I can’t recall”.

Hillary lies whether under oath or not. Remember Hillary can do no wrong - it’s one of the privileges of royalty.

She’s too fat, wrinkled and ugly to pull off another “Pretty in Pink” interview. She’ll resort to “I can’t recall” or “I don’t believe you can prove that....”, just plain lie and dare anyone to prove otherwise. She wouldn’t be appearing if there were any paper out there on her.

It’s what she does.

I believe she will actually say quite a bit. Not much of it will be true.

Either that or we will get a lot of “I don’t recall”

Keep in mind that Hillary is not doing this to help get the truth out, or to assist the investigation in any manner. With the Clintons, everything is a political calculation, and in her mind she has nothing to lose, because there are only two possible outcomes. The first is the 'Pubs on the committee grow a pair and play hardball, and ask the tough questions and demand answers, even putting her under oath. If they play rough, she'll play the "victim" card. Remember what she did to Lazio when he tried to get her to sign a pledge? She'll turn the tables on the 'Pubs and whine about their "mean-spiritedness". And of course the media will embellish that gambit.

The other outcome is that the 'Pubs play their usual meek, mild, deferential role, they don't ask any tough questions, don't press home any issues, and she comes off looking like she is helpful, cooperative, and innocent. Then she gets to frame the issue on her terms, which is always the key in politics. The 'Rats will say, see, Hillary has nothing to hide, the mean 'Pubs got nothing on her, let's "move on". Sound familiar? It should. We had eight long, weary, dreary years of it in the '90s.

Didn’t Gowdy say that witnesses would have no choice in the matter? So she is announcing this to make it appear like it is her choice.

What BS.
