Hillary in Hiding
The American Thinker ^ | 12-17-12 | Daren Jonescu

Posted on 12/17/2012 7:30:47 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

For once, I am inclined to believe Hillary Clinton. The U.S. Secretary of State, suffering from a sick stomach, has reportedly fainted and bumped her head. As a result, her spokespeople have already announced that she will be unable to testify at the Benghazi hearings, although she was not due to appear until December 20, many days after the vaguely reported fainting spell.

Already, the internet is resounding with a chorus of "How convenient!" (See here and here, for example.) Many, upon hearing this news, are assuming that Clinton, who has been hedging for a month on whether to appear at the congressional hearings, has concocted yet another excuse to avoid facing the music on a scandal which, if pursued with integrity, would likely end her political career, to put it mildly.

I, on the contrary, would like to give Secretary Clinton the benefit of the doubt on this one. Though I have never participated in a cover-up involving the brutal murder and defilement of people under my direct employ, I can only imagine that if I had, and if I were being called on the carpet to answer questions about my role in events

My first thoughts were, yes a convenient excuse to stall. Now a few days later I’m thinking, she’s having a facelift, getting ready to run.

It did get better and better and the best sumation of Hillary every written:

She can't hold out forever, they will get her. One bright spot.....those other two that will testify will themselves disclose things not intended to be known, they can't help it, which leads to more questions. Each witness so far has left the committee with even more questions. Let them talk, then get back to Ms.Hillary.........rofl. Just going to get worse for her the longer she hold out.

From the Article:""(By the way, is this not the kind of fragility in the face of duty that ought to disqualify her as a presidential candidate?)"""".......

YES, but.........

Don’t be too hard on Hillary.

She has a lump on her head to show you caused by her paper weight.

She has no political future on the national level...she is merely running out the clock from testifying as acting SOS because the families will be coming forward with civil lawsuits against her and the State Department which are tasked with providing adequate security for our foreign service personnel.

h clintoon probably fell because of dehydration caused by excessive hand-washing to rid herself of the blood of the four Americans murdered in Benghazi. Who woulda’ thought?

“Just going to get worse for her the longer she hold out. “

She will NEVER testify. Democrats are above any stinkin’ laws or procedures. Just ask hussein.

OH, she will be called to testify. But what she will say is another matter, "I don't recall" will not work.

The more others testify and open their yappers, to worse it can get for her. She would then have to answer to what they said as well. She may then wish that she had testified herself. rofl.

These people are not Smart, just devious, but the truth always comes to light. Right now she has already exposed her most devious self ever.

I think Hillary is more worried about “Ron Brown, part 2”

She better stay off airplanes for a while.

She’ll be in a cocoon until she emerges in time for the Ames straw poll with a new hair doo.
