Foreign Policy ^ | 12/13/12 | Josh Rogin

The House and Senate foreign relations committees have already announced that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify on Benghazi next week, but the State Department said today that´s not a done deal. Moreover, the State Department may not even share the report of its own internal review on Benghazi with Congress, a top State Department official said today. Congress expects Clinton to testify Dec. 20 about the results of the Accountability Review Board, State´s internal review on the events leading up to and during the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi

I suspect she will fall victim to a "female complaint" and be unavailable for further comment.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I imagine she’ll eventually talk about it on “The View” or Letterman when the time comes after Willie does a saxophone solo.

[BenLurkin]

Looks like I might have been wrong.

[Sacajaweau]

I’d interpret it as “Stick it Mr. Obama”...and I’m sure Bubba is backing her up on this one.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Of course she won’t testify, she is not a good of a liar like her husband..she hasn’t mastered looking at the American people right in the eye, pointing her little finger at the camera, and lying through her teeth..Bill can do that down pat, Hillary is still figuring out how to do it without laughing

So, let me get this straight.. The State Department tells Congress what to do? Am I missing something? Maybe a Dictatorship or something? /s

[Truth29]

Have they got the guts to subpoena her?

[elpadre]

what is the precedent for a cabinet member refusing to testify before a house of Congress??

[Windflier]

"Testify? Mmm....I don't think so!"

[haffast]

"The ARB's responsibility is to brief the secretary. The secretary has said she will be transparent to Congress," Nuland said. "What is required, Josh, is that the secretary's response to the ARB's conclusions has to go to Congress within 90 days of her receiving the report."

Tick tock tick tock tick tock tic tock......... "within 90 days of her receiving the report".......tic tock tic tock ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

(Won't she be out of office by then?)

Good Friend former Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering

She is too busy, baking cookies for her daughter.

[BerryDingle]

Have they got the guts to subpoena her?

Nope. Like Jack Nicholson said, they can't handle the truth.

[batterycommander]

She’s just going to have to attend that meeting in Samoa during the time of the investigation. Diplomacy takes precedence. Too bad that the Committee dissolves on December 31. Isn’t it amazing how these important diplomatic missions occur during the uncovering of $h!t in the State Department.

I think Obama and Rice have started the next narrative:

—They have already explained all that they need to about this tragedy. There are critical events and life or death issues that they are working on for the American people, and they can not be distracted at this time, especially over this republican witch hunt.... blah, blah, blah.

Time is their friend. The longer they drag it out, the less the public will care and there will be more pressing events that will detract.

I suspect that the MSM will now go completely quiet on Benghazi.... they pretty much already have.

Her Heinous is indisposed, teddibly sorry peons.
