Hillary dodges the Congressional investigation on Benghazi... Again!

[DaveFla]

Since the other TWO threads on this were closed (because, evidently, we aren't allowed to discuss her appearance)...

Lets try this again, shall we?

What's with her excuses for not testifying? Didn't Obama promise the "most transparent administration in history" when he ran for president?

I know that Obama has proven that he can not be trusted at his word, but this one is REALLY suspect. Further, who could vote for a presidential candidate who is prone to faint when the going gets tough?

Until now, I had always said that Hillary made a better-than-average Secretary of State. This latest event does not bode well for her.

from reuters:

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who canceled an overseas trip last weekend because of illness, suffered a concussion after fainting due to dehydration, prompting the postponement of her scheduled congressional testimony on the attack on a U.S. mission in Libya, officials said on Saturday.

If this most respected woman in America, and already elected successor to Obama, testified about Benghazi, she would simply say the same things she said when she testified about Whitewater or Travelgate or whichever it was in the cesspool of her husband's scandals (the one, I believe, in which she was named as an unindicted co-conspirator) (who can keep all the Clinton scandals straight?): "I don't know," "I don't remember," and "I wasn't there."

I just wanted to point this out before this thread is closed.

Now, I will bet, that she will claim that she lost all her short term memory, and doesn't remember a thing about Benghazi.

This all stinks to high heaven...

how much do you want to bet?

Was it realistic for anyone to expect that Hillary would give a revealing testimony at a US Congressional Hearing?

Hillary and Obama have two strong bonds in common.
One, they are loyal party members .
Two, they have the goods on each other.

Hillary being a skillful and experienced lawyer and politician she knows how to duck and dodge any question that the best member of both Houses can offer. Also, don't forget she has the master of deceit (Bill Clinton) coaching her).

In the worst case scenario if Hillary ever was to testify and she slips up into perjury then Obama will issue a pardon. The best case scenario is that Hillary now has a green light to prep for 2016.

I've seen at least two off-the-wall conspiracy theories about what happened at Benghazi. Neither seems credible, but at this point it seems like something far deeper than negligence is being covered up. I guess we'll never know what it is. It's almost like the JFK assassination: It's too dangerous to go there, even 50 years later. A lot of potential witnesses including several FBI officials suddenly died during the House Select Committee on Assassinations investigation. I can't blame someone for simply fainting and having a concussion.

Petraeus conveniently had to resign from the CIA before he could testify. He testified anyway (he couldn't claim a concussion), but as I understand it his testimony clarified nothing at all. If anything it muddied the waters, and it's still mud today.

It should be noted that Hillary does have a note from her doctor. The department issued a doctor's statement that she has a concussion. But how hard is it to fake it during a concussion test? For example, when the doctor asks, "What's your name?", Hillary could say, "Monica Lewinsky?"

I was being sarcastic, river... But I'm guessing that you already figured this out.

This is a first. Usually, others have "accidents" when they have something on the Clintons. Now Hillary is the one having the accident. Well at least it didn't involve a gun or plane.

CORRUPTION RULES!!!!!

[ncbullgator]

Hillary is connected to more lies than a teenager with acne.

I'll never forget the one about making 100k in futures by "reading the WSJ".

And all of those progressive intellectuals believe...

[G8trGr8t]

They are sending her subordinates to testify to reduce her exposure and risk of being caught lying under oath.

The censorship closing these threads is unwarranted.

[brainstorm]

If she was in the NFL she would have been back on the field the following week. So to speak.

[Gatormb]

Don't post any pictures and we might keep this one going.

[cocodrilo]

I've often heard about how smart the American people are. Then I look at things like the popularity of this gangster's moll and the likelihood that she will be elected president and wonder how smartness is supposed to be defined.

[chemgator]

If Hillary expects to be taken seriously as a nationally-known politician, she should either stop having concussions or re-schedule her meeting with Congress. She should know that the topic is important and even the appearance of trying to dodge the discussion makes her look like she has something to hide.

It will take a lot of work by the mainstream media to cover this up if she runs in 2016. It might make the Obama "whitewash" of 2008 look trivial in comparison. We can only hope the unwashed masses come to their senses.

I don't see it being a problem at all. Among the main "news" channels I can't imagine anyone but FoxNews questioning this "concussion." Has anyone at Fox done so? I would think that you would be called a wacko on CNN (not to mention ABC, CBS, NBC) to question it. But I would be delighted to be wrong.

[brainstorm]

Yes, won't be a problem unless some information comes out that implicates her. Otherwise, a non-issue.
