And there’s a reason Clinton chose to appear in an open setting, with the whole world watching.

Clinton’s defenders claim she was cool and made no mistakes.
Why were there no hearings at the time to discuss this very important Constitutional matter?
Welker continued: “The new ad campaign comes as Clinton is gaining strength”. One leading Democrat had a tantrum and started a fight with Gowdy. With all due respect to Sidney, these emails would hardly seem to merit a congressional hearing, nor should they get in the way if the hearing really were about Benghazi.
At one point, Sen.
The loss of four fearless Americans in this tragic event should not be used as a partisan political issue in presidential politics.
Marco Rubio took a serious swipe at Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton on Wednesday night during the third Republican primary debate. That one? Who did?
“This is a country, we have to pay our bills”, he said. No viable government has been created, and USA troops are going back in.
I also appreciate the Democrats’ sudden interest in wasteful federal spending. “Well, we didn’t – we didn’t…”
Even Clinton’s supporters must have seen these as dishonest and evasive answers. The point was to throw the proceedings off track, which Cummings accomplished quite nicely.
Organizers are casting it as the first commercial of the general election, given Clinton’s emergence in recent weeks as the favorite for her party’s nomination. He’s probably happy to be the villain of the day, to the extent that it ensures Hillary Clinton will not be the villain of the day. Nunes said it’s worth following up with Clinton as to why the State Department’s emergency response team was not deployed if Clinton did, in fact, chalk up the attack as an act of terrorism.
Rep. Jordan introduced an email from Ms. Clinton to her daughter written at 11:12 p.m. on the evening of the attack, September 11, 2012.
Gowdy told host Chuck Todd that Hillary Clinton requested the “voluntary interview” be public, which he noted was “well within her rights”, but added that there is never “any of what you saw Thursday” in closed-door hearings. But the public has known for a while that it was lies and spin. Every day is a new day with him.
After more than $4 million and more than a year, this hearing has not brought to light any substantive information that was not already disclosed by seven other committees. And the if they’re too big to fail, then under my plan and others that have been proposed, they may have to be broken up. Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook described October as an “incredible month” that should be celebrated, in a note to supporters, but he also warned, “it’s important not to get complacent during good times, just as it’s important not to panic during challenging ones”.
