Hillary Clinton WILL testify about Benghazi consulate attack despite concussion and blood clot

Going home: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton left New York-Presbyterian Hospital on Wednesday after being treated for a blood clot

Republicans have been battering the Obama Administration and any officials associated with the September 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate, which killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

The Washington Post reports that Clinton 'remains committed' to appearing in front of the Congressional committees, though no date has been set.

The new House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, Rep Edward Royce, said the government accountability report on the attack points to 'an unacceptable failure of leadership' leading up to the attack.

Some Senate Republicans have threatened to block the confirmation of Sen John Kerry, Clinton's successor as Secretary of State, until Clinton testifies.

Clinton has long said she planned to leave the job as the nation's top diplomat after Obama's first term.

. Her physicians say she suffered no stroke or neurological damage as a result of the clot. She is expected to make a full recovery.

Clinton's illness led her to cancel an overseas trip and scheduled testimony before Congress about the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

When her absence was reported, several pundits and newspapers accused Clinton of making her illness seem worse than it was to dodge questions from lawmakers over the attack, which has been blamed on lax security installed by the State Department.

The New York Post called her concussion a 'head fake.' Florida Rep Allan West said Clinton had a case of the 'Benghazi flu,' while Fox News contributer Charles Krauthammer dubbed it an 'acute Benghazi allergy.'

Hot seat: Republicans have demanded the Secretary of State's appearance to testify about the security failures that led to the attack

Plastic surgery .....

[RS_Rider]

Who needs guns when you can flash a picture like that!

[servo1969]

Ooo, maybe she’ll take a few perfunctory questions, act like she’s dizzy and faint in front of the cameras. Then every leftest news channel and rag can show her being carted off by EMTs and accuse the GOP of trying to kill her.

“This hearing is closed!”

Notice her neck and eyes are covered.

But if you are going to do plastic surgery why not wait a few weeks until you resign your post?

How can you do it on the taxpayers dime? Vacation time?

[relictele]

The Corleones were a crime family worthy of several films. This bunch of grifters, not so much. But we have been subjected to them for 20 years now.

"Very odd they felt the need to include what appears to be a doctor in the photo, as they are leaving"

It is odd.

I have never left a hospital, or seen anyone else leave a hospital, who wasn't in a wheel chair.

Liability issues for the hospital, I think.

So, where is her wheel chair and a nurse to wheel her out?

"One think I note of the picture Bill and Chelsea look like they actually may be from the same gene pool. She alway had the Web Hubble look. This picture makes me take a double take."

Chelsea has had some plastic surgery. I think her chin was improved via surgery. Don't know if anything else was done.

Those 2 don’t have any qualms whatsoever about spending taxpayers money on themselves. They’re entitled you know. Must be nice to have a home in the country courtesy of you and me since it just so happens they charge the Secret Service 10 grand a month......about the same if not the same as their mortgage. Please Lord, make these people go away....:(

Hey! Isn’t that the Hibbell kid?

"I can hear it now...”Uh...Thats one of the things I just can’t recall, Senator....”

"I can't recall, you know, because I fell and had a blood clot in my brain. Next question."

Question asked.

"You know I can't recall that one either, what with the blood clot and what-not."

[hummingbird]

"Isn’t that the “stealing-the-silver-from-the-White-House” coat Hillary has on?"

HA!

Maybe she lifted a few things from the hospital wearing that coat!

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

One look at her tells me that she’s not going to be president - ever. By 2016 she’s going to look 5x worse - if she’s around at all. I think we are seeing the end of Hillary! as a public figure. Of course this opinion is worth what anyone paid to read it :)

[hummingbird]

"Notice her neck and eyes are covered."

Maybe she had eyes done, hence the sunglasses. Is anyone else wearing sunglasses?! HA!

Her forehead looks a little "botox-y".

If she did her neck and "laugh lines" around her mouth and cheeks, she needs to get her money back.

[hummingbird]

"“This hearing is closed!”

The debate is settled AND closed.

[MissMagnolia]

No ... not Hillary (LOL!!) The comment I was responding to was about Chelsea looking more like Bill in that picture rather than Webb Hubbell. Some years back, it looked like Chelsea had some plastic surgery - she certainly became more attractive and less ‘Hubbell-like’.

[Baynative]

After a testimony of nothing more than, "I don't recall", she will get paid millions to write a book about the attack, how it unfolded and what she did to keep it from spreading around the globe.

[shelterguy]

“”””Chelsea looks pretty damn hot standing there next to mom””

Put down the bong.

< SARCASM >I really hope those mean and rascally Republicans don't give our poor little Secretary of State any tough questions.
I mean crawling out of her sick bed to testify.
Courageous, courageous. < /SARCASM >
