The State Department on Tuesday slammed John Bolton, George W. Bush's controversial ambassador to the United Nations, after he accused Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of faking an illness to avoid testifying this week about the Benghazi attack.
Bolton implied on Fox News on Monday night that Clinton lied about her illness to avoid saying anything potentially embarrassing that could come back to haunt her should she choose to run for president in 2016. The State Department put out a statement over the weekend from doctors at Mount Kisco Medical Group and George Washington University saying that Clinton “developed a stomach virus, leading to extreme dehydration, and subsequently fainted.”
“You know, every foreign service officer in every foreign ministry in the world knows the phrase I am about to use: When you don't want to go to a meeting or conference, or an event, you have a 'diplomatic illness,' ” Bolton told Fox News's Greta Van Susteren. “And this is a 'diplomatic illness' to beat the band.”

Dream on.
She's already the designated nominee and nothing can change that.
Bolton is my hero!!!
“Bolton is my hero!!!”
Ditto! He has the courage to say the truth!
“Never believe a rumour until it has been officially denied”
I notice the spokesman claimed the doctors said fainted, but did not say the doctors said she had a concussion.
This is a classic Clintonian non-denial.
Glenn Beck’s guest host said, “Hillary had gas bubbles? She should have just farted and testified.”
Ha. Excellent. :)
Or... as Laura Ingraham calls it, “the immaculate concussion”.
Anyhow, why would Hillary even need to do this? Lying to America has never been a problem for her, no matter what the situation. “Lie about Benghazi? Sure; not a problem!”
