A conservative political activist is praising a Republican congressman for his grilling of Hillary Clinton over the 2012 Benghazi attack.
Cathie Adams of Texas Eagle Forum says she was grateful that Rep. Trey Gowdy and others on the investigative committee were "asking good questions and expecting straight answers."
A former longtime prosecutor, Gowdy was expected to be tough on Clinton as he challenged her role in the lack of security before the attacks and the cover-up of their cause days and weeks later.
But it was a second GOP congressman, Rep. Jim Jordan, who dropped the "bombshell" on Clinton, National Review Online reported. That's because Jordan read from emails written by Clinton that showed she knew almost immediately that a terrorist group had attacked the Benghazi compound, not a group of protesters angry about a Youtube video.

I wish that Jordan would have asked hitlery to personally read her e-mails out loud during the hearing.
Giving voice to her e-mails would make a great campaign ad. Even if she refused to read it, that would be entertaining as well.
Why, that would be the chauffeur who drives Ms. Lerner.
Susan B from IN has a reputation of being very good at details. Her visual of the two stacks made an impact
“...where she was on the night of the attack, did she go home, and was she alone all night.”
Hell, Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, was on an epic bender that night, and had drank her way into oblivion.
Which is why Herself was not tweeting or emailing anything out until well into the afternoon of September 12, 2012.
When the morning comes and you gotta get up, where you gonna find your shoes?
When you are lying in bed with an aching head, how you gonna lose the blues?
Hillary lies poorly. Note the “gallows” smile frequently displayed.
That cackle is a known reaction of a guilty person being confronted with truth. It is sometimes known as an indicator when a suspect is confronted
An easy answer to the target question ( there were several the lead up to it) was simply I was alone or there was staff with me or Secret service are always present but instead she cackled indicating she was doing something she felt quilty about.
No doubt with security cameras, security logs etc the questioner already knew the answer to the question. She just set Hillary up for perjury.
Expect testimony contrary to HRC answer to fall in place soon
The blood of these American heroes are on the hands of Obama and Hillary.
Actually that blood is squarely on the hands of the voters who put them in office.
These things were new...
REALITY CHECK Blumenthal was engaged in a massive conflict of interest since he was simultaneously being paid by (a) The Clinton Foundation, (b) Hillary's 2016 organizers, and, (3) businessmen w/ interests in Libya.
If Clinton knew, her actions in circulating memos precipitated by Blumenthal was egregious. If she did not know, her recklessness is subject to US laws.
Keep in mind that---to its donors and to the world beyond---all they knew was that the Clinton Foundation hired Sid Blumenthal to..... (wait for it)..... "promote Bill's presidential legacy." That's what Sid was supposed to be doing for his $325,000 foundation salary.
Now if the Clinton Foundation Board of Trustees signed off on the Blumenthal hire without being appraised of the full scope of his duties....that would violate state laws and place the trustees in legal jeopardy.
==============================================
REFERENCES The implications of this Blumenthal revelation are huge, as the Washington Free Beacon points out:
<><> Among the newly revealed (Benghazi) e-mails were a pair of messages from July 2011 in which Blumenthal described efforts to secure Libyan government contracts for Osprey Global Solutions, a company in which Blumenthal has admitted to having a financial interest.
<><>Blumenthal warned Clinton that French companies were looking to scoop up security contracts from the Transitional National Council, the revolutionary government of the Libyan resistance, and plugged Osprey’s ability to be an American counterweight.
<><> “It puts Americans in a central role without being direct battle combatants,” Blumenthal wrote of Osprey’s TNC contract. He described his efforts in “putting this arrangement together through a series of connections, linking the Libyans to Osprey and keeping it moving.”
<><> Clinton forwarded that message to Jake Sullivan, her deputy chief of staff, and asked to discuss it later.
EDITED EXCERPT---The Clintons had extensive ties with figures in the energy industry; companies that dug into Libya’s energy sector, Royal Dutch Shell and BP, were Clinton Foundation donors. But Hillary Clinton hid emails discussing the exploitation of Libya’s oil fields. The Clintons had made an art out of merging their political and financial agendas
Some of the deleted emails discussed this with Clinton Foundation employee Sidney Blumenthal (Clinton pumped Sid's sham hiring as "working on promoting Bill's presidential legacy"); Blumenthal was also providing Hillary with what was facetiously labeled "intel" that actually came from business interests.
Blumenthal was looking to profit while promising that the Libyan War would be an easy matter. Blumenthal encouraged “shock and awe” bombing in Libya.
According to Congressman Gowdy, “Blumenthal pushed hard for a no-fly zone in Libya before the idea was being discussed internally by senior U.S. government officials.”
Blumenthal blasted Obama for being “unenthusiastic about regime change in Libya.” Blumenthal called for providing the Jihadists with “armor piercing weapons” and called Secretary of Defense Gates a “mean, vicious little prick” who is “losing” the debate.
Blumenthal also offered a very specific “national interest” argument that Obama would later echo, suggesting that Obama was unknowingly parroting the talking points of Blumenthal.....a man he loathed....talking points which had been handed to Obama by Hillary Clinton.
Loyal Democrat Blumenthal also told Hillary Clinton that the war had to be ramped up....or Obama would lose the election.
===========================================
NOTE WELL At no time did the safety and security of Americans factor into the Hillary/Blumenthal communiques.
600 requests?
They wanted to get rid of him.
I wonder why?
When I saw the volume differential between the 2011 and 2012 e-mails, my first thought was, "WHAT HAPPENED to all those e-mails that should be in the 2012 pile?" They were probably destroyed or withheld by the State Dept.
I think we can all agree here that Hillary is a pretty bad person. Sadly, she is likely to become the next president, and the Republic is in transition to a “soft” totalitarian state. And it seems that there is nothing we can do about it.
“Given the Clinton’s history, the question did come across as asking ‘who did you boff that night’.”
“I don’t know, I couldn’t see her face.”
Sorry.
Consider this: He was only there for about four months, or 120 days. 600 requests is FIVE PER DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK!!
Will the survivors ever testify?
I see you and I have been on FR since late 1998. Not sure why, but I don't recall ever seeing your nic before. Hmmm. Well, they say the mind is the first thing to go.
I'm not resigned to the likelihood she's the next President. Granted, the bulk of the GOP crop looks weak/pretty bad with Donald Trump and Ben Carson being a breath of fresh air. Not sure how Ted Cruz is going to shake out in all of this however I think one of them are the most likely to be the nominee.
Having said that, as long as it's Trump, Carson or Cruz (or some combination thereof) I'll work my ass off to get them elected to the White House. Surrender or succumb to the "inevitability" of Hitlery Rotten Clinton as the next President just isn't an option for me.
Nice to finally meet you on here after all these years!
