[MHGinTN]

Wow, this current pig is really squealing, trying to divert the focus! That pig will need a very stron rope to handle him if we tale Ackerman’s suggestion!

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

This is true.. She said so under oath.. Just pointing out the Dems are pulling their defensive crap.

[TruthWillWin]

Dems at hearing:

[popdonnelly]

I’ve read that the acting CIA Director will testify that the CIA on the ground never asked for military support.

[Sleeping Freeper]

In the first hearing, most of the Dems walked out. Guess they decided to stay and defend Obama this time.

[ILS21R]

[TruthWillWin]

As typical at these type of hearings, the Dems are more interested in protecting the administration than they are at getting to the truth. If we had an honest media this would never be allowed to happen.

[no-to-illegals]

Have an observation. Will tell what that observation is if it happens again.

[no-to-illegals]

Is there a list of Committee Members? Have not checked yet would think there is a list.

[GSWarrior]

“We have opened up an complete investigation in Benghazi...more lies ahead.”

[thouworm]

"I’ve read that the acting CIA Director will testify that the CIA on the ground never asked for military support."

Petraeus replacement to testify CIA never requested military assistance in Benghazi (hhmmm)

[MHGinTN]

Honest media? The US media work for the enemy of the people now ruling the dead Republic. Honestly, they, the media, are working hard to serve their masters of lies.

[TruthWillWin]

Why are we questioning these people? They obviously (because of their non-answers) are not the ones that should be questioned at the hearing.

[MHGinTN]

Wow, this guy from RI looks like a mafia lawyer. I bet he follows the WH talking points!

[thouworm]

Mike Kelly
Pennsylvania’s 3rd District

He just summed it up. Excellent statement.

[no-to-illegals]

What number in the House Hearing is this? Forth or Fifth. Pardon me for a moment looking to see if first observation was correct. Nevermind, yep its happening. Heard broadcast of security concerns for House Committee Members.

[MHGinTN]

To pull the covers off of a big lie you must take hold of the blanket at the edge and roll the crap out for all to see the volume of lies the WH and dnc are trying to protect.

[Batman11]

Why are they talking to someone from the GAO, or wherever that guy works? There are a lot of military up the chain of command who either watched the Benghazi attack happen live, or wher3e alerted to it as it happened. Haul everyone of these people in to testify under oath. Where is the General, I think it’s Ham (I’m sorry I left my fing scorecard of the top US military leaders who have been relieved, or demoted by Obama in the last month home!)who was relieved by his second in command probably for refusing the ‘stand down order’? Where is the Admiral who was relieved of his command? Why is this committee talking to accountants when the whole fing Pentagon knew what went down on 9/11???? God forgive me, but I am really starting to hate this country!
