Live Thread: Hillary Clinton Testimony at House Select Committee on Benghazi (10 A.M. EDT)

C-SPAN ^ | Thursday, October 22, 2015

[Mouton]

I would love to see the next session kick off with the chairman saying he had a few housekeeping issues to address before continuing: We intend to have a shorter period this PM to address inconsistencies in your testimony and the public record along with other testimony. Second, the two individuals sitting to my right with the House Sergeant at Arms are US Marshals who may be serving you with some legal documents which I am not at leisure to further describe.

Now, Madam Secretary, remember you are still under oath and did you bring your tooth brush and a change of clothes??

[Menthops]

Roskam asked by reporter why this is an investigative committee as it seems to have already drawn its conclusions.

Roskam punts.

You might be right. Of course, all of them want some face time, it seems. But, you’re right. These short sessions with different congressmen (each of whom has probably spent a week preparing his/her own little angle) disrupts the continuity of the presentation. My memory is that during the Watergate hearings, each of the Senators would have more time to develop their topic and because there wasn’t just one witness, each of the Senators would have to deal with the more focused topic was relevant to that witness. Here, the next guy might start asking about anything. It just seems chaotic if you’re trying to pitch to an average citizen who doesn’t know these facts backward and forward.

AP Poll: Majority Believe Benghazi Investigation Justified;Two-Thirds Say Hillary Not Honest

Now that we know the Clinton News Network attack lie is going to be “No one cares about this partisan witch hunt”, above are the real facts.

My question too? Is he still locked up? Was he questioned?

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, on 26 September 2013, he was released from the halfway house to the custody of Pastor Wiley Drake of First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, California. Initially sentenced to 1 yr jail, 4 yrs supervised probation. (Wikipedia)

From GRETA'S FaceBook Page - Apparently, Greta is NOT happy with Hitlery's testimony.

[ColdOne]

Oh I bet!

CNN panel asking why in the world Howdy spent so much time on Blumenthal and not a single moment in his 10 minutes on any of the four victims.

Kean is on FOX now addressing this in part.

Hearings are on policy and operational failures that led up to four deaths and the lies USG used after to cover them.

Loss of the ambassador and 3 contractors are a big part of the impetus but they are not being investigated themselves.

Its a given that they lost their lives trying to do their jobs without support from anyone else in USG and a big question has to be why no one helped before or after the attack despite warnings and requests for help.
Interesting that Hitlery got all misty talking about them (for effect) despite their being outside the scope.
Also, everything is just fine because "Chris knew the risks"

[XenaLee]

Troof!

Yeah, troof. Don't even axe!

[MNJohnnie]

Menthops (If you are reading this..... the GOPe hates you!)

Trying too hard. You might have been credible and believable if everything you posts was not an attack lie at the Committee and not one word addressing the facts of Clinton's testimony.

[Menthops]

The numbers will be higher after today’s hearing.

[dandiegirl]

You can always tell when Hillary is lying cause she looks down when she answers the questions. The arrogance is astounding.

[Sacajaweau]

I have a feeling that she's going to play the girl card...somehow...

Something like...If I were a man, this would have ended a long time ago and a male would have been commended for his actions in the situation.

[MNJohnnie]

Too bad for you no one but you is buying the lie.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Not going to happen, but it would be great if somebody would call her on that tell...

[Typical_Whitey]

Hint to the Democrats that if the hearing goes bad for Hillary and since Joe said no, nothing will stop them from having Bernie, FELL THE BERN, SOCIALIST Utopia, Eat the Rich, from being their nominee.....

[MNJohnnie]

Nope. But you just keep wishing for what you want to believe.

[altura]

Trey Gowdy hasn’t gained an ounce and he looks cool and collected.

[Art in Idaho]

You can always tell when you re hitting Leftists where it hurts. They always respond with these “attack and distract” responses.

Yup, I think we'll see more of this after the break:

And more use of Alinsky's main rules:

RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”

RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

If Hillary doesn't revert to these, watch Cummings butt in.

As an aside, yesterday on Beck radio, Ben Carson, when asked, "What book do you think Americans should know the most about, should read?" Carson replied, "You're going to be surprised by my answer, but I think people should read Rules for Radicals so they know more about the Threat We Face."
