Hillary Clinton Chokes Up During Opening Benghazi Statement

Jan. 23, 2013 10:03am Madeleine Morgenstern

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s voice broke as she recalled comforting the families of those killed in the Benghazi attacks in her long-awaited testimony before a Senate panel about the September terror assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya.

“I stood next to President Obama as the Marines carried those flag-draped caskets off the plane at Andrews. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers, the sons and daughters, and the wives left alone to raise their children,” Clinton said, her voice cracking, in her opening statement before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday.

Clinton’s appearance came after her scheduled testimony in December was postponed due to a health scare when she fell and hit her head, sustaining a concussion.

  Hillary and Barack have been taking acting lessons to learn to turn on emotions when none are felt. On a lower note I wish someone could bug phones and offices of everyone in this cover-up and get the truth out of them. I also wish someone in this investigation can find out if Hillary really hurt her head in a plane accident while negotiating with the ENEMY. I read the Navy guy that was killed in that accident was listed as committing suicide. That may have been true seeing as it would have been a suicide mission to go anywhere with her.

  Well played, oh never mind, it was a prepared statement that probably said, (get choked up here). Fake, and then she goes arrogant on us:

  Do you believe this choking up story, or do you believe the families who said she was a cold fish when the caskets came in? I’m inclined to believe the families and how they felt they were treated………certainly not emotional or they’d have felt it.

  Crocodile tears. This P i g embodies the depravity of her generation, its arrogance, immaturity, lack of manners and vulgarity.
  That’s the generation that destroyed America and gave birth to Obama.

Hilary is no doubt upset to : A.) know that she has to make this Dog and Pony Show cover up for the feckless and killing Obama Administration’s foreign policy and to B.) know that Michele Obama has just been tapped for 2016 to star in Obama III . Tough deal for the ex- female – president to be Clinton. ( Hilary needed a better agent to complete with the Chicago Radical crowd ! Sorry Hillary ! )

“I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers, the sons and daughters, and the wives left alone to raise their children…” and said there, there. What’s important is that Obama won a second term.

  My reply is, so what? That’s part of the territory. The other, more important part, was to heed the warnings of the ambassador and provide safety for those men who died. That way, maybe she wouldn’t have had to console the victims next of kin. Crocodile tears from the master. Where’s the pink dress? Pretty in pink worked the last time.

I’ve been listening to Hillery’s testimony and it’s BS. It mostly consists of telling her how wonderful she is and thanking her for being such an intelligent person.
I noticed she uses the phraise “as you all know”. This is the liberals way of saying that they want you to believe something as FACT. It’s NOT. She has spent her reported “healing time” being briefed on how to cover up the murders of the people in Bengazi. She shakes her head indicating complete agreement with the questioners when they make statements which they in fact, want people to believe. This whole hearing is a left wing SHAM.
How in the world did we get so many corrupt people into politics? This is nothing more than INDOCTRINATION.

She has been totally prepared to stall and ramble on to take up time. Nothing will be accomplished. We will never find out what really happened. This administration is untouchable…….

Oh, spare me the theatre and drama.

This is a pretend inquiry to make this issue go away. Nothing will be revealed, nobody will be prosecuted, and we’ll see lots of drama to satisfy the voyeur culture we live in.

  You are correct sir. That is why she took so much time off so she could rehearse what they have scripted. Pure and simple I lived under her and her husband in Arkansas when he was governor and like everyone else when he was President. She is evil and will stop at nothing to further the agenda.

  And do you know why they do this? Because they can. Their side relishes it, eats up the drama and the sucking up, and our side sits and bitches on the internet. Meanwhile, the Administration literally gets away with being complicit in murder and covering up of murder.
