'We wired it': Emails suggest Clinton aide stage-managed Benghazi hearing questions Catherine Herridge

By Catherine Herridge, Pamela K. Browne Published September 06, 2016 FoxNews.com

Newly released emails suggest a senior Hillary Clinton aide stage-managed her first hearing on the Benghazi terrorist attack by feeding specific topics Clinton wanted to address to Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, who at the time was acting chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.

"We wired it that Menendez would provide an opportunity to address two topics we needed to debunk (her actions/whereabouts on 9/11, and these email from Chris Stevens about moving locations,)" Clinton media gatekeeper Philippe Reines wrote to Chelsea Clinton the morning of the Jan. 23, 2013 hearing.

That is the key, NT. It will take the arrest or indictment of a high level operative close to Illary in order for this to obtain proper coverage by the media.

This makes Watergate look like parking ticket by comparison.

Quite the response to the 4 deaths and the cover-up. Always struck me as wildly inappropriate.

The video is a quick 2 min summary and includes the video exchange in the hearing with Menendez and Hillary Clinton.

2:48 Minutes
Clinton Team May Have Manipulated Benghazi Hearing - Benghazi Gate - America’s Election HQ

From article

“This email chain provides a rare behind the scenes look at which Benghazi-related issues the Clinton camp had concerns about going into Secretary Clinton’s January 2013 testimony on Capitol Hill, and what they had apparently plotted out beforehand with a Democrat committee member to deal with those concerns,” Citizens United said in a statement. “Citizens United will continue to release all new Benghazi emails we receive through our FOIA lawsuits as they come in — the American people have a right to know the full picture.”

Fox News asked the Clinton campaign as well as Menendez’s office if they coordinated before the 2013 Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing; what was meant by the term “wired;” and how the email exchange was consistent with the principle of independent congressional oversight. There was no immediate response from either.

Reines is a founding member of the Clinton-aligned consulting group Beacon Global Strategies. The online bios for its founders and managing director suggest no group knows more about the Benghazi terrorist attack and the Obama administration’s response.

In a follow up Q-and-A with the Times, Morell wrote: “Among the many things I do in my post-government life — teaching and writing, serving on corporate boards, speaking publicly on national security issues — is work with Beacon Global Strategies,

Is it against the Rules to “collude” for a hearing?

The writers do lay some IUDs, but they don’t really say that these types of communications to build a defense are actually against the law, or the rules.

This is party against party in these committee investigations and absolute chess is played from start to finish to advance the pieces on the table to bolster your side of the case on the table.

We know these Lefties are corrupt to the core already, but wouldn’t we expect a conservative witness to want investigative Republican committee members to help him advance his best case during questioning in a hearing?

Just curious. I’m not sure this is really substantive, but for political ammo, unless of course it is actually against the Committee Rules, or against the law.

Quite the response

Yeah. That was an "in your face, woohoo, I got away with it!" gesture. It was the body language of a sociopathic, conscienceless liar who thinks of the whole thing as some sort of merry game with herself always the winner and never mind the human cost. This woman belongs in prison.

Why is Chelsea in this loop?

Because she's being prepped for her political debut. You didn't think the Clintonian Camelot would end with Shillary, did you?

"Why is Chelsea in this loop?"

~~~~~

I was speaking to a conservative crowd last night about HilLIARy's criminal handling of classified systems at State, while trying to cover her Clinton Foundation slush-funding -- and, I couldn't come up with her daughter's name.

So, I said, "Y'know, Web Hubble's daughter..."

And half the crowd shouted, "Chelsea!"

~~~~~

LOL!!!
