Well, the Benghazi committee has finally proven their point to me..

That point is that Hillary Clinton is friends with someone named Sydney Blumenthal. I'm not sure that the revelation was worth 4.7 million dollars of my taxpayer money, but at least they proved their point.
They proved that Hillary Clinton sent and RECEIVED e-mails on her personal server to close friends of hers. Damn that woman!!!
They gave Hillary the best forum she could have today to prove her presidential demeaner, and in my opinion, probably gave the calm, assured, intelligent lady the keys to the White House today. She became a human being today when reciting the events of that day. Anyone who believes she has no emotion won't believe that anymore.


They do not get it and never will that all their political attacks on both of the Clintons only serve to make them more popular with the American people.

Because the truth is, all the Whitewater investigations in the world never had any affect on the Clintons.  The impeachment of Bill for having sex with an intern (NO, HELL NO IT WAS NOT ABOUT THE LIES. ALL PRESIDENTS LIE) has left Bill Clinton one of the most popular political characters in America. I'm not sure he's not actually the MOST popular political figure in America. And all those alleged murders old Bill and Hillary committed while he was in office just never amounted to a hill of beans.


Don't get me wrong. Now that Biden's out, I'll vote for Bernie in the primaries. He won't get the nomination.
Then I'll vote for Hillary in the fall and watch the next day as the heads of every Republican in Congress explode.
That'll be a great day, IMO.

     hrc lied and went on to play a part in covering up...her e-mails to her family and other nations' leaders prove that point because she then knew that it was a terrorist attack...Further it has been proven that the usage of a personal server for State Department business is/was wrong and any other employee that would have done the same thing would have been treated much different even though she was the boss...Now, whether anyone will do anything about the lies...deception...and false testimony that's up to those tasked...And as for the costs...it's a little disingenuous for some complaining about the costs of the hearings...The Hearings have cost and as pointed out by the democrats "taxpayers" money"...$4,809, 266.00 which is an extravagant amount and perhaps the individual(s) that caused this mess should be accountable for the costs---but we all know that ain't gonna happen....

    The disingenuous part comes from two other examples of taxpayer waste that has cost more than the Benghazi Hearings and has lasted longer:
    The National Institute of Heath has received Federal Funding for the following two studies:

     $2,466,482.00 for study of the Origami condom
     $3,531,925.00 for study of obesity in Lesbians as compared to gay males.

     Both, sure are much needed programs....and certainly the same democrats on the committee are also 'outraged' over the waste of taxpayer money....right?....Sure there are more examples and yes both parties are and continue to vote for wasteful spending but outrage over specific  programs because it's supported by one party or the other is....disingenuous at the least....

     Lastly, and from history....President Clinton would have only been a 'liar' because of his lies about his relationship with Ms. Lewinsky....He crossed the line when he went under oath and committed perjury...It was enough to get him disbarred but not enough to be removed from office...

Sucks don't it... LOL

Hoping 2018's and 2021's Benghazi hearings are better than this one.- LOLGOP

The Benghazi Committee is outraged over the attack & will continue to be so until next election day when it will never be mentioned again.- John Fugelsang

Either she lied to the middle east leaders and her daughter... or she lied to the victims families and the american public.

Which was it?

Of course she lied and aided the administration in its cover-up....that's really not even debatable...The e-mail proves your point and once again a Clinton is not responsible or accountable for their actions....

Expecting anything truthful just ain't going to happen....what compounds the situation are that there are so many that simply don't care and are happy to vote for someone that's labeled as being a liar and untruthful...That's where we've deteriorated...

No Pkr, it was explained that the intelligence was not there at the beginning to know what the cause of the attack was. That kind of information doesn't just appear immediately on a lighted billboard in Times Square while the attack is going on. Life just is not as simple as that. That doesn't even matter, because not knowing the cause of the attack is nothing to disqualify a Secretary of State. Even if she speculated on the cause of the attack to her family members, that does not disqualify a Secretary of State. As for her using personal e-mails with Sydney Blumenthal, he is not a public official so it is absolutely proper for her to use her home server to talk to him. I have friends I talk to many times a week, on my home computer. Nothing wrong with that. And the Ambassador's correspondence should have come on a government server to security officials (that is where it came) who might help him with security concerns. Had he e-mailed Hillary on her personal account, Republicans would be yelling about her using her personal account for business. Oops, they already are, aren't they?

I know many don't want to believe that, but you might as well believe pretty much every review I've seen of the hearings that say Hillary did not break down, she did not reveal anything new, and that the committee had nothing new to tell the American public.
It's almost 100% agreed that Hillary gained respect from her composure during the hearings and the Republicans made fools of themselves again. Even if it weren't in all the polls, I'm a Bernie Sanders fan and I like Hillary far more than I did 4 days ago. The lady kicked butt.
Check the reviews if you don't believe it.

I think it's important to preserve the past and these current Benghazi hearings are part of that. We need to collect mementos of them and bury them in a time capsule so we can unearth them in 10 or 20 years to see how Benghazi hearings have changed.

Won't that be interesting?

HRC is a liar? Try this article from National Review, a Conservative Magazine, about front runner Ben Carson. He was a 40K a speech spokesman for Mannatech:

November 2004, the mother of a child with Tay-Sachs disease who died after being treated with Mannatech products filed suit against the company in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeking damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent misrepresentation, and conspiracy to commit fraud. The suit alleged that the Mannatech sales associate who “treated” the three-year-old had shared naked photos of the boy — provided by his mother as evidence of weight gain, with an understanding that they’d be kept confidential — with hundreds of people at a Mannatech demonstration seminar. The sales associate was further accused of authoring an article, in the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association in August 1997, explicitly claiming that Mannatech’s supplements had improved the boy’s condition, even though the boy had, by that time, died. The suit also presented evidence that Mannatech was still using photographs of the boy in promotional materials on its website in March 2004, “with the clear inference that [the boy] was alive and doing well some seven years after his actual death.”

I guess since the child died that was just as good as a cure, right? The doctor is a snake oil salesman and nothing more.

It's a bell weather that a presidential candidate could get away with deliberately withholding OUR public records. Look around folks... the people supporting hillary are directly advocating NO accountability in govt... hillary could be mao or stalin and receive the same exact voting demographic.

The outrage over anything "R" or even moderate independent is liberal hypocrisy at its finest. How ANYONE on this earth could say HRC isn't a liar is beyond me. "I remember landing under sniper fire", "I tried to join the USMC", of course the endless email battle, "we were broke when we left the W/H", the list is endless.

     It can be defended when there's a (D) following the name.....She's such a liar she may be giving liars a bad reputation....It's sad that Brian Williams was removed/suspended from being a tv anchor for being a liar and yet hrc is given free pass after free pass...can't be a tv news anchor because you're not believable or trustworthy but you can be president....wonder why were circling the toilet?....
