Republicans insist this inquiry isn’t about politics or Clinton’s email… but let's all do a Republican chant anyway. I'll start: Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi! +Mashable compiled the top five quotes that prove Clinton's Benghazi hearing was all about politics.
I think my favorite part is summarized by the Washington Post (http://goo.gl/khDFOQ) in reference to Rep. Peter J. Roskam (R-Ill.) who twice offered to stop talking so Hillary Clinton could look at her notes during the Benghazi hearing Thursday.
“I can pause while you’re reading your notes from your staff,” he said.
Clinton replied that she can “do more than one thing at a time, Congressman. Thanks.” mic drop

This “Benghazi interrogation” is just a politically motivated witch hunt. Conservative Republicans are dishonoring the memories of those 4 dead people by turning this into a partisan witch hunt for political gain. That's the real scandal.
are you blind to the fact that they asked for help and the help was turned back and then sent out again after they were already dead!! What in the world is wrong with you…this is a matter of right and wrong! Integrity…remember that word! She has none. Along with most to the politician's in Washington…
She's a demonstrated liar. I never understood why committees asked questions of a liar.
"What difference does it make if I'm incompetent to the point people die?! I still wanna be president because I think I'm awesome and my supporters are under my spell!" -Hillary Clinton
Say hello to your next president rethug bitches hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
you gonna be so butt hurt
Wow +Paul Spoerry, you have some real winners following you.
Congress has been investigating the Benghazi tragedy for 33 months.
No indictments. No arrests. No prosecutions. No convictions. No sentences.
Either you have to appeal to a higher level conspiracy theory – for which there is exactly as much evidence as there is for criminal culpability in the Benghazi tragedy – or it's time to admit this witch hunt has been pointless all along.
Republicans are incapable of admitting when they're wrong or out of line, they just lie their way deeper and deeper.
She clearly violated the law on protecting classified information too, but they didn't arrest or charge her for that either. Just because they took no action yet, doesn't mean they won't.
because president change his words came out explaining as 'spontanious flare ups…when in fact Benghazi was attacted by a group like ISIS ..too many lies …..and Hilary backed him
Did they even bother to swear her in? Everyone knows the Clintons are not hemmed in by the truth.
What about those emails turned in at the last minute that show that she never thought it was caused by a video (when she told the people it was for weeks on end), or the emails from the Ambassador asking for more security personnel? Is that something we should be concerned about? I can't tell anymore. It pisses me off, but nobody else seems to give a fuck.
It's totally unreal what she was put through today. 9 hours of B S! Shame on the Republicans big time.
Paul, Just let her set on your face until you suffocate…idiot.
Gee willikers.
College creepy money whores.
DUH!!
Guard a embassy with 2-soldiers.
…the gay army.
The tragedy is that the Republicans doing the questioning were so compromised by the party's insistence on politicizing absolutely everything, that they could have evidence that Hillary Clinton personally ordered a hit on those four, and no one will believe them other than people who have already given up critical thinking as a bad idea and a ploy to inculcate liberal doctrine. You folk who are Republican supporters, please get them to behave in way that give them any credibility whatsoever, so that if they do come up with something of substance, it won't be waved away as RWNJ ass-hattery, which is really all I can conclude anymore, as it's all we've seen since 2009.
I am sick and tired of Clinton's condescending smirk when holes in her narrative are exposed. Democrats are so easy to pick out. They are the lapdogs for her.
She and bogus Bill went to Yale Univ.?
Cheese hole America.
…what's a money whore look like?
U-still here.
Bernie 2016
The fact that she is still an eligible candidate depresses me.
The Emails have been out for months, Benghazi investigated for almost three years, and nothing. On top of that Gowdy brags about the investigation hurting Clinton's polls, and get's busted for editing the emails to look like classified material was sent. If you think this anything but a witch hunt your are deluding yourself.
+Jimi Best The GOP are morons, that doesn't excuse her actions
what an spiritual coincident look at the lady in the back right
Gowdy is badgering Hillary, he's a sweaty faced prick and a common bigot.
These pig Republicans are going to start a civil war in the US, they are pigs.
Gods strength Hillary, I want to fight for you.
GOWDY IS A PIG
Hey Gowdy, picking on a woman defines what you are.
A SWEATY FACED BIGOT PIG
All Republicans should be tarred and feathered and run out of town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Killery is a evil traitor murdering bitch !!!
150 emails from Blumenthal…nothing from Stevens. No..that's not weird at all. (except he sent over 600 requests for additional security)
+Ole Olson
you want to sweep it under the rug… I'd like to know why the ambassadors were begging for some security, and it was not provided, for over a month…. even after the building was damaged by and IUD !! I want to know who was responsible… don't you?? If you are that tired out you should not take sides. 4 people died needlessly…. we have proof of that.
THE SECRET SERVICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF DIPLOMATS OVERSEAS AND NOT HILLARY CLINTON . BRING THE SECRET SERVICE IN FOR GRILLING .
I wonder what the average IQ of congressmen are …. ???? I can only hope that the collective IQ is much higher .
What a Sad Sack.
Sounds like you don't want to know the truth about Benghazi. LOL look at her, she has guilt written all over her face. Guilty TREASONOUS LYING SOS. The whole administration is the enemy within. 10 more Trillion in debt and they didn't create one single JOB LOL fact and truth I have the proof. This administration will go down in history as the worst…. and I thought the Carter era sucked… this tops that 100 fold. All of those idiots on the hill are losers. How can you possibly thing any of them are doing a good job ??? get a brain
+Gustavius Reinstein
+Randy Robinson Sounds like you have no proof and are going on a fishing expedition .The Secret Service is responsible for security abroad and not Hillary Clinton .Time for honesty and clarity
+Terry Hucks What you describe never actually happened. So what in the world is wrong with you?
She was evasive and thinks she is above the law, policy, and that she will be protected by the liberal lunatic media and the Obama administration.
And unfortunately she will.
+Antonio DeAguiar Yet they still cant tie her directly to anything that happened in Libya .She doesn't control those responsible for the safety and security of diplomats .this is a waste of time and will result in nothing more than time wasted .Oh lets not forget the free press time that Hillary is getting making her a household name .
+Antonio DeAguiar Most candidates have to pay to get press time and she is getting hours of press for free .She will be a shoe in at the polls because of this .Name recognition has a profound effect on the voting public .
Good point.
You know… for all the scrutiny regarding her communication with Blumenthal, why do the republicans keep voting to keep it secret? If its as incriminating as they think it is, why not release it?
I think the issue about Benghazi is really just a small part of a bigger scandal. A scandal that has both the republicans and democrats at each others throats when they were both involved and perpetuated it. There were many failed attempts from JFK to Ron Paul in attempting to quell this behemoth but the military industrial complex is strong.
Truth be told, we should be aware that both the dems and the reps are in on it. Instead of worrying about terrible foreign policy we should find a more economical approach with less violence. At home we should remove these victimless crimes, http://goo.gl/xZ2AjF . They only cause more harm than good and today the tension is high for a reason.
Look at her smug face.
"Yeah, a bunch of nobodies got killed on my watch……yeah, I kept state docs on my private server (and then destroyed some of said docs), which is actually treason (never mind the whole 'it's against government protocol to keep them on a private server' thing, that doesn't even register, (if I thumb my nose at the treason thing, you think I care about standard procedures). So F**KING what. I'm god-damm Hillary Frigen' Clinton. You can't touch me. I'm better than all you c**ts."
God….I hate that waste of human DNA. I would rather they dug up Irma Grese and made her POTUS. She would at least be more human than this callous cackling crank.
…..sorry 'bout the language Paul….I just get nauseous at the mention of madam bottom-feeder.
+West Kagle
Here's the problem right here on display. The allegations on this post are just incorrect. Treason has a specific definition, it's not just being someone you loathe. It involves the specific betrayal of the United States to its enemies, not simply being better at the game than her prosecutors.
I imagine your frustration as it becomes more and more clear that those you hoe would sink her have instead simply added to her electability.
And by the way, I'm no Hillary lap dog, I'd love to see her go down in the primary. What I am is a member of the Loyal Opposition, someone who believes that the health of government is not something uniquely to be protected or damaged by one party or another. I oppose many things the Obama administration and Secretary Clinton have done, but I am loyal in that opposition, opposing the policy, not trying to destroy the government that acted to make it happen.
Republican bomb throwers need to learn this. I hope y'all nominate the most destructive candidate you can, and that he gets destroyed at the polls. Maybe then you'll learn that most of us think you are insane, even if we agree that what the dems are doing isn't working.
The FBI shoe is about to drop. She clearly lied about the video and failed to answer regarding the cover up.
+Edward Hill Well, if you watched the questioning, Hillary avoided answering the questions directly and instead went off on a tangent to say something instead of answering the questions. The purpose of the inquiry is to determine what happened to avoid repeating the senseless loss of life because proper protection was not provided.
Anyone that would still vote for Hillary who thinks she is above the Law, and policies of the administration and is not fit to be a leader, is just a pure die-hard democrat without any convictions and sensibilities. Her actions are those of a devious highly political person with something to hide. Why else would she use a private server, keep the content from being public, use lawyers to avoid self-incrimination, and have emails deleted?
…and not have a computer in her office.
+Christopher Bartlett
Dude. Look it up. The act of withholding and/or destroying of official governmental docs is considered an act of treason (and BTW, prohibits this scum-sucker, from ever holding public office again (elected or appointed). If you really need. I'll dig it up and attempt to post a link (I seem to be having an issue with copy and pasting to YouTube comments and sometimes G+ as well).
So if I'm insane, then the legal code is to blame, because I'm just going by what I am dictated to by the 'dear leaders' in Washington.
+West Kagle As of this date you have nothing but accusations of misconduct and no real proof of any wrong doing .Hillary and her entire campaign thank you all for the free press time .It means that she can save her campaign money for advertising and spend that money on something else .8 to 10 hours a day of free press would have cost her billions but she is getting it for free thanks to stupid republicans .I thought that the republicans were the smart ones .Smh
+Christopher Bartlett
Here……I figured I'd just look the code up any way. As it turns out. The withholding and/or destroying of governmental docs is a Felony. So I suppose we should give her a 'not as big a criminal as she could have been' award. Now if, and it's a big if, as madam body-bag is very good at covering her tracks (hence the reason why the stuff was kept on her private server in the first place, you know, private servers aren't subject to the freedom of information act), if it comes to light that anyone outside her office had access to these docs, well then that would be treason, as sharing state docs a case of espionage (and spies are shot, at least I think they are still shot…….or at least I hope). Here is the code:

+Edward Hill
Don't fret…….madam pantsuit is no where near as good as Bubba at covering the paper trail (and he got caught with his d**k out). The more arrogant the person, the more likely they are to screw up (and they don't come any more arrogant than Miss. 'The laws don't apply to me').
+West Kagle The burden of proof of wrong doing is still yours and not hers to defend .You will have to prove wrongdoing beyond any shadow of a doubt and I don't think that the congress can do it .I don't think you have a shred of evidence other than accusations .
+Edward Hill
First, I said don't worry. She's too arrogant to be bullet-proof. Second, you realize that it's beyond a REASONABLE doubt.
……friggin morons.
+Matthew Reynolds Agreed… gotta love when they come out of the woodwork.
+Dean Barnett EXACTLY.
+Luis Rosales "I think the issue about Benghazi is really just a small part of a bigger scandal." Then we need a different trial, but that's not the case in this instance.
+Jim Powell I'm totally down with someone attacking me with cited facts, logical arguments, etc. Since you didn't come close to that I'll just declare you an idiot.
+Randy Robinson Now that's a novel use of birth control, "damaged by an IUD." 🙂
+Dean Barnett
LOL
+Edward Hill State department "does" control the security for embassies.
+Brian Killian
I know right……it's not like the security detail can of their own accord say…."well they say they need more security, let's head on down there". The dolts in charge in Washington have to authorize it and then actually send the personal.
And Killary said as much in the interview yesterday. She said "her people" handled everything.. she never approved or denied. Wow. (and so I guess that means she wasn't responsbile…even though she said she was responsible)
+Brian Killian no the State Department does not control security the Secret Service is responsible for security of ambassadors and diplomats abroad
+Edward Hill Ed…you're into the sauce a little early.. http://www.state.gov/m/ds/about/overview/c9004.htm
+Edward Hill
It's not like the security detail can of their own accord say…."well they say they need more security, let's head on down there". The dolts in charge in Washington have to authorize it and then actually send the personal
+West Kagle is the Secret Service in charge of security for diplomats or not? Since they are what are you talking about?
LOL.. Wow Ed… I just showed you the link that says they aren't. Read it!
+Brian Killian the link doesn't work. & I am sure that I read that the Secret Service is responsible for the security of diplomats just a couple of days ago
+Brian Killian I searched it again and found something different the Internet is not a reliable source for information
Edward… my post was from The State Department…. get a grip!
+Brian Killian The internet is still not a reliable source of information because I swear I read the day before yesterday that the diplomatic security was the responsibility of the Secret service .Something funcking wrong here .I know the fucn I am not crazy .People are putting up websites in seconds saying what ever the hell they want to say .
Some people are idiots. I like to go to the source.
+Brian Killian
Just forget it. It's like banging your head against the wall. I tried to point out that even if they were in charge of security for diplomats, the state department is responsible for deploying the amount of security in each detail (and Hillary was head of that office).
This is just karma. Hillary was a part of the witch hunt that lynched Nixon back in the 70s. They nailed him to the cross because of a gap in the audio recordings. Not that there was audio evidence of him implicating himself, just that part of the recording was erased. From that he had to resign. This pathological liar has been caught red handed in covering up the Embassy affair (even if she and Barry were not in the wrong, they engaged in a cover up).
…And lets not forget that she deleted a s**t ton of e-Mails from her personal server (the server which she used for official state department business). Doesn't that meet the burden of proof set forth by the Watergate kangaroo court (missing information)?
The other shoe is about to drop.. and it's a steel boot. If anyone thinks this is over…they're wrong.
It no longer matters, those who could have exercised governmental oversight are so compromised that they could have direct video of Hillary Clinton drinking and saying screw those asshats in Bengazi, let 'em fry, and it would no longer matter. This is why there are ethical codes, so that those in charge of oversight cannot be tarnished with political motives. With their obviously partisan exercise, the Select Committee have lost any ability to be useful, whether or not Hillary is guilty of anything. She schooled them. She humiliated them.
And haven't we been hearing, 'oh just wait, they'll get her soon for three years now? Reminds me of those folk saying the world was going to end last Wednesday, or maybe it was this Wednesday, or maybe November 13th. If it happens, it happens, but don't put religious-level faith in it; the Republicans have been going after Clintons for 22 years and failed to land any significant glove on them. Now either they are epic level incompetent, or the Clintons are actually not guilty of everything of which they are accused.
I am NOT voting with a vindictive and screwed up party. I had intended to change my party because of the Democratic Party support for immoral rights but I can't in all good conscience side with hatefilled vindictive people.
+Edward Hill
…..and yet you are going to side with the party that's putting forward as their next messiah Hillary Clinton (a more vindictive person there cannot be found on the face of the Earth). People in her own party are afraid of her because those who she doesn't like have nasty things happen to them.
+West Kagle Since I don't totally agree with either party I will just stay home till a decent person comes into the race .Forget American politics its full of shit .
C'mon Edward… everyone's vote is important.
+Edward Hill
Don't do that. Doing nothing is worse than blindly supporting a despotic candidate. If you sit home it's almost as good in the eyes of these elitist reprobates as a vote in their favor. You know the saying, 'The only thing needed for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing'.
Do at least what I do when there is nothing but a bad choice and a worse choice. Cast a write in vote. I suggest Mickey Mouse. Maybe if enough people are pissed off and vote that way, and Mickey Mouse actually wins, then maybe these feckless fascists might sit up and take notice (not least of all because they now have to have a second election (as Mickey Mouse can't actually serve)
…..Maybe we need to do like they did in that movie 'Brewster's Millions', where Richard Pryor's character encouraged everyone to vote for 'none of the above' (which ended up winning). I think I'm going to see if I can start a political campaign to elect 'none of the above'. Let's see If I can get some support from all the stepped on Americans out there.
+Ole Olson When we have ambassadors in a hostile country it seems they should have protection 100% of the time not intermittently, or upon request. Somebody IS responsible for their security… right?? Those people should be questioned… Is the SOS directly responsible or not????? If this is just a show then lets stop wasting tax payer money. She is acting weird tho… LOL this is a very high price comedy show….
+Randy Robinson Here is your answer regarding embassy security: http://www.state.gov/m/ds/about/overview/c9004.htm
Seems there are plenty of units or divisions of security, presumably with overlapping and back-up protection. Question is, why did they have no security or just minimum in that environment? I understand there were requests for more security weeks prior to the event. If so, there should not be a debate, or a congressional circus to possibly locate someone to reprimand. Doesn’t this seem like a show… like; yes we are to blame but we really can’t punish anybody, so lets make it look like we are really doing something about this?
+Randy Robinson There is a lot of that. But think about this for a moment… all of this could have been avoided if HRC just followed the normal protocol of having her email on the gov't server. Pretty much done and done.
+Randy Robinson
If Her department is at fault, then isn't she ultimately to blame? When you're at the top you are suppose to be responsible for the actions of all those under you. That's why you might want to have competent people working under you instead of cronies. Like Truman's famous sign that he put on the desk in the Oval Office…..'The Buck Stops Here'.
If this is the case, then this isn't a show, and she needs to take the heat, and be a real leader and own the blame. However, there is now way she can now, as she's played the innocent persecuted victim all this time. It would just make her a liar as well as incompetent (although I don't see what difference it would make, we already know that she's both)..
+Brian Killian
See that was the point of not using the government server. No paper trail (for stuff like this and other more nefarious things). Private servers aren't subject to the freedom of information act (and by the time she does get around to 'cooperating' for the sake of 'transparency', that server had been sanitized of any damaging items).
Controversy has followed Mrs Bill for a long long time. Or should I say its stuck to her, since the 80s, and I'm not inferring anything here, but all sorts of people were dropping dead all around. Maybe its coincidental that she sees dead people.
I'd like to get Vince Foster's point of view. Oh wait.. I can't.. he's dead!
