Where I left off bump.

HA!

Clinton can try. Based on the polling data the American people aren’t buying that spin. it plays with most Dems and no one else.

[onyx]

YES! They’re the shows I have TIVO’d.
Thank you for providing the name. My memory fails.
I was about to look at my “TIVO List”!

I agree ... totally. My comment from yesterday (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3351307/posts?page=18#18):

One of the criticisms of the committee is the way questioning takes place - each member gets to question & the train of thought/line of questioning is repeatedly broken as they all head off on their own tangents.

This will never happen, but I’d like to see each Repub member allot their 5 minutes back to either Gowdy or Jim Jordan (the 2 best interrogators - one should be designated to question Clinton during this hearing). Other than interruptions from Dem questioners, they could then keep the line of questioning going, for the most part.

I’m sure Hilly/Dems would be totally pissed off if this happened, but you might keep enough pressure on her to cause a crack in the veneer.

She sent the truth to officials in Libya and Egypt then lied to Americans. This is pretty open and shut that she lied to the voters.

Biden should be getting his flight plans ready.

[BushCountry]

Ping for later

[gov_bean_ counter]

That is why the Biden decision has put the party in a bind. Over time, Clinton continue to lose ground to just about any GOP contender.

[Big Horn]

She did let out at least one nice cackle.I have not heard anything about the order to stand down yet.

Perhaps, but if they fail to show anything was hindered by NOT having the emails, which were either destroyed or withheld, they have NO materiality for an obstruction charge. Maybe they bring an indictment, which assuming there is no harm, they have no hope of defending. So, knowing the DOJ, they will not bring it in a political environment unless they have absolute incontrovertible proof their withholding effected or impeded the congressional inquiry.

Meanwhile, this may not be relevant as it looks like she is about to implode.

[luvie]

She’s being handed memos with “her” answers on them...so she’d not even the one really testifying. Her minions are doing it for her.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

TY. :)

CNN describing the Blumenthal angle is a “rabbit hole”. CNN panel asking why in the world Howdy spent so much time on Blumenthal (who was not a government employee and was not involved) and not a single moment in his 10 minutes on any of the four victims.

[Mr. K]

Summary of most important point so far:

STEVENS MET WITH AL QUEDA

HILLARY LIES AND SAYS SHE DIDN’T KNOW

GOWDY SHOWS EMAIL FROM THE DAY BEFORE HE DIED, SHOWING SHE DID

An Al Queda member was asking what ‘security measures’ they needed... literally hours before they attacked. They knew what deficiencies were because they asked him.

Either STUPID, or incompetant, OR ARMING AL QUEDA

Plus, clear evidence that her top male confidant used her position for personal gain.

[Big Horn]

What you will hear...
“I don’t recall...”
“I don’t believe i was informed...”
“I don’t recollect that occuring...”
“This is just a politcal witch hunt!”
“This is just because i am a women!”

Etc, etc....

Yawn.
Very true, I have heard them all.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Gotta love it.
