Republicans demonstrated clearly on Thursday that Hillary Clinton lied routinely and repeatedly about events leading up to and following the terrorist attacks in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.

Unless the republicans had a slam dunk to take her out on Benghazi, they would have been better off to just throw a party and invite the slobbering lap dog media.

From Benghazi to the IRS abuse, the GOP is in it,
up to their lying, complicit and EXEMPT, tongues.

It’s hard to make a so called ‘mistake’ when job 1 is to keep your people out of prison.

Because lets face facts. If everyone on the planet had Hillary’s emails on the matter, I find it damn hard to believe the GOP was some innocent bystander that pulled a Sgt. Schultz and ‘Knew Nothink!”

They arent stupid. They are complicit. and Hillary is ‘their people’. Their presidential candidate did give her a freaking medal for her work amidst all this afterall.

There should have been an emotional focus on her scapegoating a Coptic Christian for the attack (the videographer is a Copt). It looks like she hoped that there would be retaliation attacks by Muslims against Cops due to the video and that would bury any news about Hillary's massive failures in Libya. She is truly evil.

At Limbaugh has postulated, this was already scripted.

They were never going to let anyone move in for the kill. Cummings would never have let that happen.

I thought that the Republicans did a respectable job. If I were to criticize their presentation, I would say that they should have stuck to just two or three main points. Instead, they seemed to want to concede and fight about every minor inconsequential point. They should have conceded or ignored just about every point except the two or three big ones, whatever they decided that those should be.

By having all of the members arguing about all of the little points, the presentation seemed a bit chaotic and it was not always clear eacactly what the case was about. I think it needed more clarity, more focus.

The GOPe doesn’t want to go too hard on Hillary just in case Trump or Cruz wind up as the Republican Party nominee. Hillary can be counted on to follow orders.

.....Or the GOPe realizes that in the event of say Trump getting the nod, for example, he will hand Hillary her humble pie for her to eat in defeat.

For maximum effect, the Republicans SHOULD HAVE SHOWN VIDEO CLIPS FROM IMMEDIATELY AFTER BENGHAZI OF HILLARY, SUSAN RICE, OBAMA, JAY CARNEY, ETC., LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT THE ‘ANTI-ISLAM VIDEO’ but they obviously weren’t interested in embarrassing her.

This is the Big League.

They aren’t going to fall for the old ball-behind-the-back trick.

They’ll run over you and kick you in the face with their cleats.

Every pitch that isn’t a curve is going to just barely dust the corners of the strike zone.

You’re not going to get a slow one right down the middle.

It’s the big league. Play like a Big Leaguer or sit in the stands and eat popcorn and yell at the umpire.

You don’t always swing for the bleachers.

Sometimes the sacrifice bunt wins the game.

But that’s for the professionals to figure out and execute. All the people in the stands want to second guess the Manager.

There’s lots of innings left.

I agree with you. I’m not sure that it was ever clearly explained what they were trying to prove. There are some people who think that Hillary ordered the attack. This case needs clarity even if it turns out to be only a single or a double. It seemed chaotic yesterday.

It seems like they held back because they didn’t want to totally bring her down for all the crimes she is guilty of.
They were hoping to just damage her a little to stop her political ambitions. Big mistake.
