There’s also the dodgy overlap between the Clinton Foundation, its well-heeled donors, and the ungodly sums that both Hillary Clinton and her ex-president husband have received for giving speeches while out of office.

Even Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, admitted in the hearing’s wake, “I don’t know that (Clinton) testified that much differently today than she has the previous time she testified”. And I think we’ve said this. There have now been a total of 7 hearings – two in the Senate and five in the House, and none have found clear cut evidence of wrong-doing. A few Republicans so detest Hillary Clinton they are badly underestimating how likely she is, at this point in the campaign, to be America’s 45president. You don’t have to like Clinton to objectively observe that the hearing was little more than a prolonged reiteration of known bungling characterized by contempt-coated questions delivered with near-hatred. “And the facts, as the Democratic members have pointed out in their most recent collection of them, support this process that was going on, where the intelligence community was pulling together information”.
McCarthy’s comments provided Clinton with overwhelming proof (at least to Democrats) that the Benghazi committee was effectively political theater created to damage her chances of winning in 2016. If Clinton is the standard bearer, make no mistake: Brooklyn will convert the DNC into its wholly owned subsidiary and will take over every jot and tittle of convention planning and execution.
“They knew the truth from the get-go, and they didn’t level with the American people and I think they didn’t level with the American people because Libya was supposed to be their baby, it was supposed to be the shining success story for the Clinton state Department and the Obama White House and they couldn’t have a terrorist attack just 56 days before an election”, Jordan told Wallace. And I think it is generally agreed that it’s much more hard to dominate people who are armed than people who are not armed. For more information on the policy coup that took place in the USA and its direct effect on me and the domestic as well as foreign policies of the U.S., please see my book, Ain’t Nothing Like Freedom. Gowdy also said he regretted that the hearing was held publicly rather than behind closed doors. But that might reveal that Clinton and Obama, far from being feckless, were presiding over a secret operations in which Libyan arms were being funneled to rebels in Syria fighting the regime of President Bashar Assad. Yes, the economy is not going gangbusters. You do get that, don’t you? That includes using contests in caucuses and primaries states that will be battlegrounds next November to build up a team, target data, establish media relationships, and keep it all humming after the nominating contest and throughout the duration. His advisers convincingly thought that passing welfare reform on a bi-partisan basis would make passing health care easier, given the good will engendered among Republicans.
There’s something about the Clintons that just makes otherwise brilliant Republicans lose their senses. The Democrats don’t have quite the Electoral College “lock” that the GOP had in the ’70s and ’80s but it is pretty close. At 10:30 on the night of the attack, Mrs. Clinton issued a statement about the violence, blaming the video. Neither Richard Nixon nor Al Gore could do it in 1960 or 2000, although they both came close, and no Republican could have done it after eight years of George W. Bush in 2008. ” It is the avoidance of even asking that question in public, let alone answering it, that is the proverbial elephant in the room”.
ABC’s World News Tonight, which usually doesn’t worry about government spending, featured anchor David Muir complaining three times about the cost of the Benghazi investigation.
During a particularly nasty line of questioning by Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., conservative Commentary Magazine editor John Podhoretz tweeted, “Why doesn’t Pompeo just go over and swear her in for president now – if he goes on like this he’ll practically get her elected”. Yahoo then asked Clinton whether her yoga routine helped her survive the testimony.

I’m not sure which Republicans to whom Halperin refers.
