Today is the day. After months, even years of anticipation, former Secretary of State and current Democrat presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton will testify under oath in front of the Benghazi Select Committee.
Clinton will not only testify about what happened on the night of September 11, 2012, but will be asked a series of questions about her use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State. Since the Select Committee discovered her private server earlier this year, we've learned Clinton had at least 400 documents considered classified, with at least four deemed top secret, on her server. During a press conference at the UN earlier in March, Clinton denied having any classified information on her server, sent or received. She is under FBI criminal investigation as a result.
In addition long time ally Sidney Blumenthal, who provided faulty intelligence to Clinton during her time at the State Department despite President Obama barring him from working in his administration, will reportedly be a heavy topic of discussion.
Breitbart News has learned that Blumenthal will factor heavily in the Committee’s questions for Clinton, who utilized the political adviser as her top source of Libya information despite the fact that Blumenthal did not seem to know much about the country.
Clinton, who pushed Blumenthal’s personal business interests in Libya, relied on intelligence that Blumenthal was getting from former CIA spy Tyler Drumheller. According to email releases, Blumenthal and Drumheller seemed to have been the main source of information, even as Clinton was actively intervening in the nation of Libya.
Over the past few weeks, the Select Committee has come under heavy fire from Democrats after Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy suggested during an interview on Hannity that the Committee was created to bring down Clinton's presidential poll numbers. Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy and Ranking Member Elijah Cummings have been battling for weeks over the disclosure of information and both sides have expressed allegations of politicizing the issue.
This week, Clinton's team has been on offense before her testimony, making repeated efforts to discredit the Committee's credibility.
Hillary Clinton and her supporters are blistering the Benghazi committee ahead of her much-anticipated testimony Thursday, repeatedly questioning the GOP-led investigative panel’s “credibility” as the former secretary of state gears up for a potentially confrontational appearance.
On Wednesday, a super PAC supporting Clinton’s Democratic presidential campaign, Priorities USA, will begin running TV ads aimed at bolstering her image ahead of her appearance before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
Late last week, Clinton's top aide and long time confidant Huma Abedin appeared before the Committee in a closed door session.
The hearing starts at 10 a.m. et.
"You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run"
No order to stand down was needed. Only the U S president can give the order to cross an international border with military force without the permission of that country’s leader. So the question all along should have been ...where was Obama during this time period? (Sleeping?) Why wasn’t the required permission granted? Every time Obama hears someone ask who gave the non-existent stand down order, he probably just smiles.
Is there a live fed somewhere? TIA.
She’ll just repeat and repeat the same old lies and BS we’ve heard for months, with attacks of amnesia when useful.
Only the FBI, IF it conducts an honest investigation, might produce damaging evidence.
You have a point but it is likely the Commander asked permission to execute and was told to stand by. Would like to know who made the ultimate decision to not to intervene. Very much doubt it was Obama himself but someone very high up in his name.
Video maker, per Wiki:
In August 2013, Nakoula was released from prison to serve his remaining sentence in a halfway house, and then to be on probation for the next four years.
On 26 September 2013, he was released from the halfway house to the custody of Pastor Wiley Drake of First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, California.
More theater for the ugly, nothing will come of it. Call me pessimistic.
Not a peep out of that guy!
Watching it live on OAN.
Trey Gowdy reviewing the success of his committee and the stonewalling of the government.
Cankles looking fairly p!$$ed. Searching for an ashtray.

It frosts my bagel to no end that our elected authorities would think us all so stupid as to believe their story, and be so mendacious as to blame us for “politicizing” what was obviously a massacre *caused by* politicizing.
I’m actually watching it live on BBC World News.....
...if they cut out, I know where to go.

Hitlary nodding smugly as the criminal e-LIEja Cummins spews crap and runs interference.
Wasting valuable time. Shut him off.
Madame Secretary still nodding glumly.
Beast making opening statements.
>> I’m not saying she shouldn’t go down
Well, *I* am. I don’t want to see her go down, and I don’t want to see her exposed, either.
I watched and listened to her for a while, then I had to change the channel as I couldn’t take it anymore.
