All I am hearing is “it was not my fault”.

[HoosierWordsmith]

They are getting to that question....Roskam establishes that she was in charge, Brooks is establishing that the Beast knew of the dangers in Libya....

[Madame Dufarge]

It was all Ambassador Stevens fault, don’tcha know.

[struggle]

Wait, they’re building the case.

[Vermont Lt]

Based on the book 13-hours, there was no specific stand down order. Just inaction and confusion. Both on the ground and at Africa Command.

[kjam22]

She says .... we had no info or anyone to tell us what was happening in Libya. CHris was to tell us that. I wonder what the CIA thinks about that statement?

[milagro]

So, Stevens is known to be in a high risk situation, but HRC doesn’t read any communications from him in 2012? ?

[jpsb]

I think there are missing emails.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Thanks.

[Prolixus]

Roskam’s question makes no sense. Roskam is a Republican.He is trying to build her up. She did a great job says Roskam. Overcame diversity. She is just going on and on, yak yak yak. Roskam says she overcame opposition. She saw, did her job, and overcame. Wow. I am impressed. She saved us money as well. With Republicans like Roskam who needs Democrats?

He gave her credit for two failures:

1. Gave her credit for the colossal failure of the regime change in Libya
2. Showed her to be hypocrite since she orchestrated the use of military force to accomplish the overthrow of Quaddafi. In her opening statement she indicated that just such an action (using force in place of diplomacy) was a failure.

[Art in Idaho]

Separate topic, but how the hell did she get a Top Secret clearance?

[skams19]

Brooks is good.

[Vermont Lt]

Where are the GUNS?

If we were collecting them, where are they?

Anyone who has handles weapons for the US gov, do they let them just move around without being written down, cataloged and inventoried?

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Oh jeez, she didn’t conduct business by email. Great excuse.

[bray]

She does not like the question about the bomb going off and being ignored.

She is getting mad.

[kjam22]

I think there are missing emails too..... that’s what they are getting at....

[Deo volente]

“I didn’t have a computer.”

What?!

[Gritty]

Compound attacked on 2012, but no e-mails to/from Hillary?

Hillary says she conducted almost nothing on e-mail. She says she didn't even own a computer.

[tioga]

Begs the question. WHY? Same applies to Val Jar.

[luvie]

She is passing the blame to EVERYONE but herself...including obama!

She claims she had no computer! Bullcrap!
