Clinton tells lawmakers she is open to testifying on Benghazi in future
By Julian Pecquet - 12/17/12 01:58 PM ET

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote to the leaders of the House and Senate foreign affairs panels on Monday to tell them she may testify in future on the Benghazi attack, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

Clinton was expected to testify at a hearing this Thursday but will be sending her two deputies, William Burns and Thomas Nides, after contracting a stomach virus and suffering a concussion during a fall last weekend. Thursday's hearing will be preceded by a closed-door briefing of both committees on Wednesday.

“It was her intention to be there. If she had not been ill, she would be there. And she's also committed, including in a letter today to the committee chairmen, that she looks forward to having an ongoing conversation with them herself,” Nuland said at her daily briefing Monday. “She has, including in a letter today to the two committees, made clear that she looks forward to continuing to engage them in January, and she will be open to whatever they consider appropriate in that regard.”

This week's Capitol Hill meetings are aimed at informing Congress of the findings of the independent, bipartisan Accountability Review Board (ARB) that has spent the past two months examining the security shortfalls at the U.S. mission in Benghazi prior to the Sept. 11 attack. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans died during the attack, which came after Stevens had requested additional safety measures in Libya and was turned down by the State Department.

“The ARB has completed its work,” Nuland said. “Its report has gone to the secretary this morning. She now has it. Our current plan is that we expect that the ARB leads, Ambassador Thomas Pickering and Admiral Mullen, will brief the [Senate and House panels] on Wednesday at their request in closed session.”

Neither one of which required her to go to the hospital . . . Me thinks she's a stinking liar . . . and will blame mental blackouts for a "fuzzy" memory if asked any serious questions.

Congress could have her delivered in handcuffs but they don’t have the balls.

Nuland -—“She [Hillary] has, including in a letter today to the two committees, made clear that she looks forward to continuing to engage them in January, and she will be open to whatever they consider appropriate in that regard.”

Is Congress going to get a copy of that report? and before Wednesday?

I think she’s a liar and a drunk, I have no doubt she was sick to her stomach and had a fainting spell and hit her head when she fainted, she probably does that regularly and it’s just a good excuse to not testify. It would be so trying to listen to her litany of “I can’t remember” again.

Slap a subpoena on the beyotch and of she doesn’t show up eliminate funding for her entire Department. Then send the Sgt At Arms to arrest her and drop her nasty ass in front of the Committee.

If Congress can force private citizens (Auto execs.) to testify why can’t they force her?

Gee Hillary, just about everyone else in the country has to do what the judges and congress want us to do. We cannot tell them what we will do and what we may do.

"Head fakes can make you dizzy."

And botox can make your face melt.

Prolly a little of both. But even a fake head can't make up for all that ugly.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
