During the first round of questioning Roby presented emails from Clinton’s staff at the State Department that she says don’t match up with what Clinton testified.

“I’m not aware that we have given that figure”, Toner said. It was a planned attack – not a protest. Democrats are increasingly charging that the panel is a partisan tool being used to damage their party’s presidential race front-runner. Well, if you’re Hillary Clinton, you order in, get a little sloshed and enjoy a few much-needed R&R.
Gowdy also weighed in on emails introduced by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, during Thursday’s hearing that were sent by Clinton to her daughter and the Egyptian prime minister hours after the Benghazi attack occurred. But in a statement Friday to CNN, members said they do not want to lose the ability to keep tabs on the inquiry. Unlike Clinton’s appearance, those interviews are expected to take place behind closed doors. “Other witnesses have been identified and invited, and we will conduct additional interviews during this timeframe. The committee also has a number of unfulfilled document requests that are still outstanding”.
The reevaluation follows a Thursday hearing which was widely seen as a success for Clinton, while Republicans failed to strike any decisive blows.

Gowdy contended that Clinton seemed to believe that decisions about the security of the Benghazi mission didn’t rise to her level.
“You know, that is maybe the tenth time you’ve cited that figure today”, he said. “Did she cooperate in answering the question? Yes”.
Charles Woods, the father of Central Intelligence Agency contractor Tyrone Woods, also a victim, appeared on “The Capitol Hill Show with Tim Constantine”, a radio program, where he recalled how Mrs. Clinton greeted and consoled him at Andrew Air Force base when he went to retrieve the body of his son.
The five committee Democrats made the announcement after a meeting with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who had said earlier Friday that Democrats could halt their participation in the committee.
“Time to pull the plug”, said Sen. Yesterday revealed a depth of commitment at the State Department, it revealed a depth of knowledge on issues and concern, as well as an obvious, incredible, frankly, temperament.
Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) said the panel learning “absolutely nothing” during the hearing, which last 11 hours and was the culmination of 17 months of investigation. But the writing has not yet started, said Brooks.

“You can listen to their debates for hours and you won’t hear a single solution to any of the problems that we’re facing here at home or around the world”, she said.
