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.

flowers · « **Reply #58 on:** October 22, 2015, 01:07:40 pm »

Gowdy questioning the whole “unsolicited” from Blumenthal emails.

flowers · « **Reply #59 on:** October 22, 2015, 01:09:03 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.

2:20 PM: The hearing resumes, and Gowdy says it is a fair question to ask about Blumenthal and starts his line of questioning. He asks Clinton again how Blumenthal had so much access to Clinton while Chris Stevens did not.

I believe they were voting on a Democrat motion to end today's hearings. Not absolutely sure but that seems to be it.

Dems wanted ALL of Blumenthal transcript released, not just his emails. Gowdy said emails were part of Clintons emails & thus could/should be released. He does not release transcripts. They took a vote ... releasing transcript failed.

Paladin · « **Reply #96 on:** October 22, 2015, 02:41:15 pm »

Hillary has lied, and continues to lie, about her relationship with Blumenthal and Stevens. The former was in constant contact with her, Stevens (her good friend) didn't even have her email addy.

She's well coached and very oleaginous in her conduct. We can only hope Trey, Pompeo, Jordan and the others have information that can nail her ample posterior to the wall.

2:36 PM:
Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA)
17%
again plays the role of Clinton defense lawyer and tries to debunk the Gowdy’s point that Blumenthal had unfettered access to her while Stevens did not even have her personal email account.

2:30 PM: Responding to Gowdy’s line of questioning, Clinton says that personal and work-related email came to her account. She says Chris Stevens communicated with a number of people she worked with on a daily basis in the State Department and, as far as she knows, did not raise the need for more security with any of them. Again, Clinton says he requested more security from the “security professionals.”
