In her appearance before the House Benghazi Committee today, committee chairman Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) accused former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of being more accessible to long-time confidante Sidney Blumenthal than to the late Ambassador Chris Stevens, after it emerged that Stevens did not have Clinton’s e-mail address.
Gowdy reminded Clinton that President Obama’s team had barred Blumenthal from working for the administration when he took office, and had subsequently found employment at the Clinton Foundation. From there, he sent Clinton a series of self-interested “intelligence memos” on Libya, despite having no expertise on the country — memos which Clinton had aides forward to Stevens, “Our ambassador [Stevens] was asked to read and respond to Sidney Blumenthal’s drivel,” Gowdy said during a congressional hearing. “It was sent to him to read and react to, in some instances on the very same day he was asking for security. So I think it is eminently fair to ask why Sidney Blumenthal had unfettered access to you, madam secretary, with whatever he wanted to talk about, and there is not a single, solitary e-mail to or from you, to or from Ambassador Stevens.”
Clinton told lawmakers that Stevens, unlike Blumenthal, did not have her personal e-mail address. “If Ambassador Stevens had grave concerns that he wanted raised with me, he certainly knew how to do that,” she said, adding later that “he did not” ask for her personal e-mail address.
She also argued that Blumenthal’s Libya memos had intelligence value, although she insisted that he did not advise her. “Both Chris Stevens and Gene Cretz [a career diplomat serving in Libya] found some of the information interesting, far more than I could, because they knew some of the characters who were being mentioned and they were the ones — the kind of person with the expertise that I asked to evaluate to see whether there was any useful information,” Clinton said.

How well is her lying to the FBI going to work out.
“Stevens and his team made 600 (SIX HUNDRED) requests for added security.”
If the Republicans were serious about getting to the bottom of the Benghazi event, those 600 denied requests for added security alone would be enough to send her to prison. The Republicans could not even muster up the courage to ask Hillary why there were over 600 denials for help. They merely mentioned the requests. The witch claimed the requests never made it up to her. If that is true, and it is inconceivable that it is, it would reflect she ran a completely incompetent State department at the very least. And after that slender point, it would mean she was running a crime organization.
They has to ask for help using Hillary’s email address?
Chris Stevens DID NOT HAVE ONE DIRECT METHOD OF COMMUNICATION WITH HIS BOSS.......NOT ONE as per her testimony.
The panel clicked off vaious methods:
Your address? "NO"
Your home phone number? "NO".
Your Cell phone number? "NO".
Your Email (meaning private email)? "NO"
She simply said he could always call the State Dept. Well seems they tried to no avail either.
Then the zinger question (IMO) Did you EVER speak or in any manner communicate with Ambassador Stevens after you appointed him as Ambassador? "NO" (out of sight out of mind)
REALLY? Then you were not in the least concerned about the danger of him going into Benghazi. Guess she thought and conceded he was expendable, being gay.
I need to go take my BP meds now..GOD please rid us of this scourge called Clintons.
Thank God for YouTube as well; there are a lot of clips telling the truth about he laughing during questions of the four men who were murdered, her victory dance after the questioning, etc. I suggest going to the ones on YouTube telling the truth and liking them as much as you can.
I believe they already have her on one count of perjury
Being home alone is of no significance to anything. BUt lying about it is perjury
When the questioner asked if she was alone, the answer was already know. It was the last question, the target question to a series of queries.
Her response not a simple: alone, staff in house, always present SS on duty BUT a guilt induced cackle. That “evil laugh” is usually an uncontrollable reflex of a guilty party being confronted with reality
It was admitting psychologically to a “secret act” that she knows is wrong
As I said questioner knew the answer before it was asked. They know who was with her. Camera? Testimony? Log book?
I have distant relatives who think the sun rises and sets on the Clintons.
I don’t know how it is possible to admire them like that unless they are really really LIV.
So, who cares if our ambassador is screeching for help. They had bigger fish to fry.
Republicans had 3 years to prepare and 11 hours yesterday to nail her lying ass to the wall.
Yet they failed in spite of having all the evidence and facts they could possibly want.
Granted, Hillary is as slippery and slimy and hard to get a hold on as anyone in the world, but republicans yesterday appeared to have no plan.
So she received 600 from the Ambassador or his representatives after all?
Somehow Hillary and Sidney were making money on the information coming out of Benghazi...
That’s a cardiac cough right? High in the thorax and almost like grunting.
So, who was receiving all of those emails that were sent? 600 emails, asking for increased security? Where were they going if not to Hillary?
Oh, they have her lies revealed. They are just too scared to actually speak the truth - Hillary Clinton is a liar.
