After today, Hillary will be known as the Hero of Benghazi. Yes, four Americans were murdered but her actions saved the planet. The people in this country have fallen in love with communists.

She’s had months to fabricate and rehearse her lies, and frankly, who among the GOP in congress has gonads to even challenge her?

BS tap dance. She will “accept responsibility,” but there will be no consequences. Her testimony will only serve to distract from Obama and his top advisers, who are responsible here but will be completely insulated from any culpability.

There will be no substantive answer to the question:

“What evidence prompted the administration to blame the attack on a spontaneous reaction to an obscure video?”

Communists were allowed to take control of the educational system in America. We now have generations of people indoctrinated for communism, and desirous of it.

Americans are stupid, they wait for the media to tell them what they care about. The media has told them Benghazi doesn’t matter.

She’ll lie through her teeth, and the media won’t challenge a single line of her testimony.

By the time the democrats and republicans finish praising Hillary and providing excuses to her the hearings will be over.

That question was answered; the answer being, “Go ask the CIA.” It’s foolproof, for: 1). everybody already hares intelligence, and 2). everything in which they have their hands can plausibly deemed privileged.

Hillary now says, “At this point it doesn’t matter.”

Okay, fine. Who’s ready for lunch?

I read about Michelle Malkins tweet about Hilary saying something to the effect of “If the administration lied/covered up the truth it doesn;t matter” Did she really say this during her testimony?

Yes, she did. And she was quite agitated when she said it.

A career in politics is awesome!

It’s the only job in the world where you can admit failed leadership and not get fired.

This chick is telling the whole world she’s an incompetent leader, having no idea what her people are doing.

Yes, she did. And she is right because these hearings were purposely stalled until it no longer mattered, expect to the families of the Americans who were killed.

It mattered quite a bit several weeks before the election. It still mattered before the electoral college votes were counted. These hearings were purposely stalled until after the inauguration and just before the Hildebeast “accepts full responsibility” on her way out of office, completely free of any consequences.

The hearings themselves were fast paced to fend off any semblance of an incisive investigation. One Senator was probing a very salient point about a gun running operation being involved in this attack, but ran out of time. Each and every Democratic panel member, both House and Senate, took up most of their time with an ingratiating diatribe followed by a softball question.

What happened to the survivors of this event? Why has their story not been heard? No Marines stationed at an embassy in a war zone because there were to secrets to protect? Who gave assets on the site the order to “stand down” and why?

The GOP, as a party of loyal opposition, has become as useless as teats on a boar hog.
