Republican Jim Jordan brings up an inflammatory video that was briefly raised in the immediate aftermath of the Benghazi attack. He asks about the confused characterization of the attack as a protest, or because of the video, or because of a militant group.

“Why didn’t you tell the American people exactly what you told the Egyptian prime minister,” Jordan asks.

Oh boy.....now she says she has lost more sleep over Stevens death than anyone else on the planet!

2: 42: Clinton says she wrote a whole chapter about Benghazi in her book and would gladly send Jordan a copy. She says Jordan’s insinuation do a great disservice to the work that the Obama administration did and says that “there is no doubt in my mind that we did the best we could with the information we had at the time.” Jordan tells her he is “not insinuating anything” and simply reading what Clinton said. He asks why she did not just speak plainly to the American people?

12: 40 PM: Jordan points out that 27 minutes after Clinton falsely blamed the Benghazi attacks on a YouTube video, her advisers were already talking politics. He says Clinton “picked the video narrative” because Libya “was supposed to be a great success story for the Obama White House and the Clinton State Department.” Jordan says that the Obama was running on slogan that GM is alive while Osama bin Laden is dead and Al Qaeda is on the run and a terrorist attack in Benghazi would have undercut one of Obama’s central re-eleciton themes.

He says “Americans can live with the fact that good people sometimes give their lives for their country” but “what they can’t take, what they can’t live with is when their government is not square with them.”

12: 35 PM: Jordan calls out Clinton for telling her family and world leaders one thing while falsely telling the American public another and insisting that the Benghazi attacks were a spontaneous response to a YouTube video.

Jordan says he is troubled because he thinks Clinton knew the truth about the attacks (cites an email Clinton sent to her family about officers being killed by an Al Qaeda-like group and a phone call with the Libyan president claiming that that Ansar al-Sharia was claiming responsibility along with a call with the Egyptian Prime Minister in which Clinton claimed that she knew that it was a terrorist attack and had nothing to do with a video.

Off and on. But if I wanted to see fancy dancing I'd just watch dancing with the stars instead.

Gowdy kicking butt.....

Gowdy questioning the whole “unsolicited” from Blumenthal emails.

flowers · « **Reply #59 on:** October 22, 2015, 05:09:03 pm »

1:03 PM: Gowdy notes that this is an “investigation” and not a “prosecution.” He tells Rep. Schiff (D-CA) that the real tragedy is that so many witnesses and documents were missed during seven investigations and an Accountability Review Board investigation.

12: 55 PM: Clinton says it is “personally painful” to be accused of interfering with security requests that led to the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens. She says it is “deeply distressing” … she says she has “lost more sleep” than “all of you put together” and has been “racking my brain” about what more could or should have been done. She speaks in her patented “feel sorry for me” voice that many Americans find to be phony.
