Hillary Clinton pins responsibility on Christopher Stevens

S.A.Miller and Stephen Dinan

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton brushed aside emails Thursday that showed she privately told family and world leaders that the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi was a terrorist assault, and said Ambassador Christopher Stevens was responsible for his own decisions regarding skimpy security ahead of his death.

Testifying to the House Select Committee on Benghazi, a composed and controlled Mrs. Clinton said she was involved in the big decisions of deploying Stevens to Libya and pressing President Obama to lead the war effort that ousted Moammar Gadhafi. But she deflected responsibility for much of what went wrong, saying the ambassador’s requests for more protection, which were denied, were handled at levels beneath her.

Mrs. Clinton also revealed that she gave orders for her lawyer and aides to go through her emails, but she did not “look over their shoulder” and didn’t know exactly how they decided which emails were work-related business. And she declined to agree to release any emails recovered from her server.

In a hearing that lasted more than eight hours, Mrs. Clinton escaped without the kind of major gaffe that plagued her 2013 appearance before the Senate.

But she seemed unsure of whether she spoke with Stevens in the months between swearing him in as ambassador and the attack, in which he died of smoke inhalation.

And she stumbled over her relationship with family confidant Sidney Blumenthal, who repeatedly sent her messages about Benghazi at her special email account, and she struggled to explain her department’s public stance blaming the anti-Islam video with what her own staffers — and she herself — were saying in the immediate aftermath of the attack,....

The families of these dead men should have been allowed to directly ask Hilary questions. Provided they could keep from screaming (well deserved) curses at her.

Blame all 4 of them why don’t you? Dead men tell no tales. Up next...I asked them if they needed help and they said no. They said everything was under control, and for me not to worry my pretty little head.

There’s no bottom to her evil.

She admits she blew off SIX HUNDRED email requests for security in four months, blocked the military from rescuing him, and then blames him for his own death.

Hillary is a monster at the level of Stalin. If elected, she will burn the country to the ground and nuke the survivors.

And then blame them - for electing her.

Calling her a terrible lying Bitch is going too soft on her in my opinion.

It says volumes about the Democrat Party when every Dem on the select committee comes to the aid of Hillary and supports her.

She is a pathetic person without honesty, integrity or decency who would attack and destroy any Dem on that committee if they should go against her and they know it.

Hillary was a failure as First Lady, as Secretary of State and should she be elected as President will fail in that position as well. She’ll be every bit as bad as 0bama, maybe worse.

They said everything was under control, and for me not to worry my pretty little head.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
THEN ‘they’ will narrow it down to

‘If they weren’t so sexist and racist, they would have know that BO and I were there for them’.

Maybe we should just add the 4 to the ‘Arkancide’ list.

Of course it is fairly ‘easy’ to eliminate 4 ‘non believers’.

It is when you have to maneuver the demise of a whole Seal Team and immediate support group that the challenge is drawn out.

All ANY ‘R’ should spend money on during the ‘final run’ is the 3 AM ‘answer the phone’ statement that HRC pushed against BO.....

Nothing else...just that smug condescending witch asking who you would rather have for the 3AM phone call.

She and her team have already proved they are unable to do so.
Also highlight the ‘sweetheart deals’ she and her ‘closest advisers’ were able to pull off. INCLUDING the bribing that enriched the coffers of the ‘Phony Clinton’ scam - A good honest audit would probably result in the whole clan and henchman in jail..

Sure Hillary, you piece of human debris, blame it on the dead guy, as dead men tell no tales. Will the American people ever wake up?

“Yeah, that Chris Stevens.....always complaining.....’I want this. I need that.’ Well, he got what was coming to hm. Did he bow in my royal presence? Did he address me as ‘Your Majesty’. He had it coming to him. I am the Queen! (Cackle, cackle)”

Billy boy Clinton has been giving Hillary intensive training in successful lying. The woman has no honor. She just robotically-soullessly craves power. Mega-amounts of power.
