Hillary Clinton Officially Scheduled to Testify on Benghazi

Hillary Clintons Will Testify on Benghazi Before Congress

WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 09: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Credit: Getty Images

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will testify Jan. 23 before the House Foreign Affairs Committee about the deadly Sept. 11 assault on the US mission in Libya.

That’s the word from Rep. Ed Royce, chairman of the panel. He said in a statement late Monday that Clinton will answer questions about the raid that killed US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi.

Clinton had been scheduled to testify last month but she suffered a concussion when she fell during an illness. She was later hospitalized with a blood clot in her head.

She has planned to step down and President Barack Obama has nominated Sen. John Kerry to replace her.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Clinton strategies:
a. Pretend to have a concussion to see if the public will tire of this topic and move on without my having to testify. (this tactic failed)
b. Testify, claimiing to have been close friends with the murdered Americans, while I wallowi in feigned pain and sorrow, to make it look as if I couldn’t possibly have denied them the help which I actually denied them.
c. Us the rest of the tactics to deny my part in this, which I and my gang developed while I was dodging testifying.

Clinton will repeat, “I take responsibility for security lapse”. Will the House committee members ask her about blaming, and apologizing for the “Innocence Of Muslims” for being responsible for the attack on the Benghazi embassy on September 11, 2012? What of the apology to the Pakistani people? Susan Rice repeats that claim. Then the White House investigates, but the only revelation is “unknown assailants”. On that day there were Al-Qaeda flags fling all over Egypt, and Libya is still in total chaos. How’s that “Responsibility to Protect” working out Madam Secretary? Arab Spring is a democracy movement? State Department’s “pick & choose” policy with designating Islamic terrorits groups. “I Take full responsibility for the security lapse.” Cover for Obama, a win win for 2016 run for president.

Fortunately for her, that little concussion she suffered wiped all memory of Benghazi *eyeroll*

All these same people who’ve shown no sympathy for Hilary were crying their eyes out for another ultra-liberal (Geo. Bush Sr.) Why? Simply because he has the all-holy word (“Republican”) after his name? It’s very amusing, in a tragi-comic way, much like the Democrats waxing all self-righteous about Arnold Schwartzenegger’s fathering an illegit. Wow! Bill Clinton never would have done anything like that, would he?

It appears her “illnesses” were a gambit to buy time, time to negotiate, and it appears she got a deal. If she wasn’t given all the questions in advance, and if her answers haven’t already been approved by both side, I’d be shocked.

I predict easy sailing for mz crinton.

  Obama, undeterred by the illegally ignored “natural born citizen” clause crafted by the Founders to safeguard the Presidency against divided loyalty arising from foreign allegiance as best they could, committed treason by abandoning U.S. citizens at our Benghazi consulate to die, including an Ambassador and two heroic SEALs under fire! Obama knew exactly what was occurring in real time as it happened. Yet three times he denied their urgent requests for reinforcements. Instead, he ordered our military units that were ready, willing and able to come to their rescue, to stand down. Then he lied and engaged in a cover up.
  
  “A nation can survive its’ fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor – He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation – he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city – he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.” — Cicero, 42 B.C., Roman Statesman, orator, and author.

I can’t wait to hear her fairy tale. Seeking the truth from this woman is like seeking the truth from her boss. She’ll never tell it, and she’ll make sure everything is sealed, or somehow lost. And then she’ll muddy the waters and the cowards in Congress will just give her a slap on the wrist and she’ll be off basking in the sun and free to commit further crimes. Just like Kofi Annan.

Ah, yes. It’s going to be a wonderful fairy tale. No one tells them better than the Clintonistas.

  BARBER2, The Clintons are just as dangerous as 0bama has ever thought of being to this country. Bill and especially Hillary are not as lazy or pompous as 0bama either. Bill took off with the first couple of months with a Dem-wit Congress that raised this nations taxes then back dated them to collect starting with the first day of the Fiscal Year for ’93, on 1 Oct 92. The Congress next set it’s sights on gun control enacting Brady I then Brady II. Hillary followed that up with her behind closed doors Hillary Care. These people were headed in the same direction when the ’94 election put a stop to it. 0bama and his constant campaign mode did everything they could to shut down another Republican take over of the Congress, all while doing their best in cahoots with the MSM to always call 0bama a moderate. Yeah, the rest of us have known the truth all along, but don’t be fooled by the Clintons. 0bama just learned from their mistakes, and followed a slightly different path. Frankly, Hillary scares me far more than 0bama. She has the drive and devoted tenacity to do more damage faster and more efficiently that 0bama ever could.

And the timing couldn’t be more PERFECT!!

Check this out from the Washington Examiner:
……………………………………………..
The Washington Examiner, quoting retired Four-Star Admiral James Lyons, writes: “the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi… was the result of a bungled abduction attempt…. the first stage of an international prisoner exchange… that would have ensured the release of Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheik’…”

But something went horribly wrong with Obama’s “October Surprise.” Although the Obama Administration intentionally gutted security at the consulate prior to the staged kidnapping, former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty disobeyed direct orders to stand down, saved American lives, single-handedly killed scores of attackers…and the attackers, believing that Obama had betrayed them, tortured Ambassador Chris Stevens and dragged his body through the streets.

Hillary Clinton has avoided testifying for more than 4 months.

So to do so now it now probably meaningless.

Well not meaningless. For propaganda purposes she can say she testified. But since everyone else has testified she has the benefit of their testimony to keep her story straight.

It is of not of much use to Justice, when you stall something that should have happened by a certain earlier date in order that it loses momentum. Just because a law was broken if you drag it out long enough the pubic loses interest & you get away with the crime.

  Re: Keaton
  To get a clue read kapnkd’s comment.
  They planned a prisoner exchange (Blind Sheikh) w/ the Muslim Bro’s. for Stevens. BHO was going to get Steven’s alive and look like a hero, at election. Hillary’s aid, Uma (or whatever her name is) would praise Allah along w/ all the other Muslim Brotherhood agents woking in this admin.
  Instead, it went wrong, and they had to fall back on that half-*ssed story about the video.
  The Ambassador in Egpyt, another Wellsley(sic?) girl, and from Arkansas, was in on the plot, and paid protestors(while at the same time telling the Marine guaeds to remove their ammo.) at the US Emb. in Cairo, the day before.
