Report: Hillary Clinton to Return to Work Monday After Month of Health Issues

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Expected to Return to Work Monday After Health Issues

The State Department revealed late Sunday that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to return to work on Monday, after a month of various health issues kept her largely out of the public eye.

It was reported last Thursday that Clinton would be returning sometime this week, but a public schedule for the State Department now indicates that Clinton will be back around 9 a.m. Monday morning.

Reuters has more details:

Clinton, 65, will sit down with assistant secretaries of state for a closed-door meeting on Monday at 9:15 a.m. (1415 GMT) at the start of a week-long schedule containing nearly a dozen meetings, including three at the White House.

The secretary was released from New York Presbyterian Hospital last Wednesday, after a stay of several days during which she was given blood thinners to treat the clot in a vein behind her right ear. She has been resting at home in New York since then.

Clinton has suffered a series of ailments over the last month, including a stomach virus and a concussion.

Her doctors have said they expect her to make a full recovery.

According to the State Department, Clinton has been receiving memos and regularly speaking with her staff while away.

Clinton will meet this week with, among others, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, national security adviser Tom Donilon, and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

The Agence France-Presse adds:

Last week, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Clinton was “raring” to get back to work after being treated in a New York hospital for the blood clot discovered in a vein behind her right ear.

[...]

“She’s looking forward to getting back to the office,” Nuland said on Thursday. “She is very much planning to do so next week.”

Nuland said there had been an outpouring of support for Clinton from well-wishers from around the world. “I think you could call the number of goodwill messages a tsunami,” she said.

Clinton is due to be replaced as Secretary of State by Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) later this month.

  It was all “smoke and mirrors” Old Hill never had any plans to testify. why do you think the Senate hearing ended. You mean they could not wait a month or two? They are all in bed together.

  Yes they are trig and they have to keep Hillary clean for 2016. Unless of course Barry gets away with his attempt at a 3rd term. But I really think Barry’s purpose is health care (accomplished) and taking our guns (currently in progress). Then they will let Hillary step in because after all the Dems are the true racists and they can only pretend to like Barry so they can use him to accomplish their goals. After all to them the ends justifies the means.

Interesting. She is “raring to get back to work” while Obama rarely goes to work.

I am curious how John Kerry will perform when he takes Clinton’s job. I know he’s been lying his entire life but can he out lie Clinton?

So I have a simple question, first she ‘slipped’ and then ‘had a cold’ and now ‘blood clot’ that has left her unable to perform her duties of the Sec of State. The pathetic leftist MSM never bothered to dig into what had happened until the National Enquirer broke the story…

What else has been occurring that the leftist MSM has failed to report and that the admin is covering up?

  I think this goes much much further also … did someone try to silence her? Will she dare testify now … was she going to tell the truth?

  This is all bullspit. She was on a covert mission to Iran to talk to Ahmadinejad and her plane went down killing a Navy Seal Commander who was later identified and the “story”was that he committed suicide. Baloney. What a bunch of crap. Hillary Clinton should be in charge of the CIA she is so good at lies.

  I know it is hard to keep track, but I believe the first story was that she got the stomach flu from EXHAUSTION, then slipped and got a concussion, the clot was to replace the stomach flu visual for blood. Watch for the Purple Heart, they can give her one of the ones Kerry tossed over the WH fence.

The key word for me here was ‘work’. WHAT work?
I’m trying to imagine what her typical day is like
when she is at ‘work’….don’t think I could stand the
boredom, outside of dodging questions about Benghazi…

  come on now…dodging Benghazi questions is clearly a full time job. I think this whole phony BS was staged in order for them to get their cover stories straight. it’s amazing how convenient this all turned out to be. Liberalism is a mental disorder, and libs will stoop as low as necessary to weasel out of the truth

So all this planning, talking, schedule stuff, schemes. Seems she’s functional and sound mind. Knows dates, address, times, all that. She should do new Current 1st interview, huh. “Tell us Billary, this slip in bowl movement act, or I’ve fallen and can’t testify” “How do yourself look at yourself in mirror?”

  “I’ve fallen and can’t testify”…classic line…But she can look in the mirror and feel just fine about it. That’s how these ******** are, not an ounce of shame about anything. Liberalism is a mental disorder and it’s proven to us several times a day. Liberals are the worst slimeball, blood sucking pigs on the planet

what about the report about her in the plane crash in Iran where a Navy Seal was killed. Said she was on a special trip for secret meeting. Wonder how this will pan out.

Most politicians turn to the Constitution during Congressional hearings while being questioned.

“On the advice of my lawyer….. ”

I forget the number but, they always seem to remember it. I think it’s called a “high five”.

Oh joy – hippo hilley back in the saddle – I am sure it will be ever so enlightening. Had a lot of time to conger up all the lies and if that didn’t work then of course we will go to the I don’t remember, or it is still under investigation – that very convenient phrase. More wasted tax money.

It appears that she hid from Congress until a deal was made. I expect the script of her testimony has already been agreed to by both sides.
