    Oh people will read it. But then many know that the left can't get past Hillary lying to the Media and everybody else. Can't come up with the save, nor protect her.

    The Demos can barely handle protecting her. Which now it will get even harder for them to do so.

    First of all, lol @ the piece in bold.

    If people are misinformed enough to buy into the Benghazi issue as a witch hunt then there's not a doubt in my mind that they'll buy into the PP as a witch hunt.

    I don't know why the morons don't just call everything a witch hunt. At this point, democrats can do whatever they want to do and if they get questioned, it's suddenly a witch hunt. I've never seen such desperation to smear the opponent than I have by the left since Obama took the reins.

    You just keep mawing out those Ben Gha talking points.

    CLINTON: Yes, he and the people working for him asked for more security. Some of those requests were approved. Others were not.

    We're obviously looking to learn what more we could do, because it was not only about Benghazi, it was also about the embassy in Tripoli. I think it's fair to say that, you know, Chris asked for what he and his people requested, because he thought that it would be helpful.

    But he never said to anybody in the State Department you know what, we just can't keep doing this, we just can't -- we can't stay there. He was in constant contact with, you know, people on my staff, other officials in the State Department.


    And, you know, I did have an opportunity to talk with him about the substance of the policy. But with respect to security, he took those requests where they belonged. He took them to the security professionals.


    And I have to add, Congressman, the diplomatic security professionals are among the best in the world. I would put them up against anybody. And I just cannot allow any comment to be in the record in any way criticizing or disparaging them. They have kept Americans safe in two wars and in a lot of other really terrible situations over the last many years.
    I trusted them with my life. You trust them with yours when you're on CODELs. They deserve better. And they deserve all the support that the Congress can give them, because they're doing a really hard job very well."

    and

    "Well, as I testified earlier, I did not primarily conduct business on e-mail with officials in our government. And I think the e-mails that have been produced thus far demonstrate that as well.


    As I said, I got intelligence briefings from the intelligence community. I had a very experienced group of senior diplomats who knew quite a bit about Libya. Deputy Secretary Bill Burns had been our nation's top diplomat, who actually had negotiated with Gadhafi.


    Prior to the entering in by the United States to support our European allies and Arab partners, I sent a team to meet with representatives of Gadhafi to see if there were some way that he would back down and back off of his increasingly hysterical threats against his own people.


    We had people like the ambassador that I referenced earlier who had served in Libya and had the occasion to observe and to meet with Gadhafi. So we had a very large group of American diplomats, intelligence officers, and some private citizens who were experts in Libya who were available to our government. And we took advantage of every person we could with expertise to guide our decision-making.

    SANCHEZ: So would it be fair to say that you received information from Ambassador Stevens?
    CLINTON: Yes."

    and

    "And I think it's important to recognize that when an ambassador is at post overseas, especially as experienced a diplomat as Chris Stevens, he knows where to pull the levers, where to go for information, where to register concerns.


    And I think he did exactly as one might have expected. He dealt with security issues through dealing with the security professionals who were the ones making the assessments. And I think that Ambassador Stevens understood completely that that is where the experts were, and that is where anything he requested or anything he was questioning should be directed."

    and

    "Well, I think any ambassador, if one were sitting before the committee, would say that they handled a lot of incoming information and requests.


    Some of it was about what was happening in-country, some of about it was about what was happening back in the United States. And Chris felt strongly that the United States needed to remain in and committed to Libya.

    So he was concerned that there might be a -- a feeling on the part of some, either in the State Department or elsewhere in the Government, that we shouldn't be in Libya. And he was adamantly in favor of us staying in Libya.
    So part of what the discussion with him and -- and Jake Sullivan (ph) and others was, you know, how do we best convey what the stakes the United States has in staying involved in Libya would be? And I thought that was, you know, very much in keeping with both his assessment and his experience."


    and

    SANCHEZ: ...The overwhelming sense that I get from the Republican side of the aisle is they seem to be arguing somehow that Sidney Blumenthal had access to you, while Ambassador Stevens did not. Do you -- do you think that that's an accurate statement?

    CLINTON: Of course not, Congresswoman. You know, you didn't need my e-mail address to get my attention. In fact, most of the work I did, as I said this morning, had nothing to do with my e-mails. It had to do with the kind of meetings and materials that were provided to me through those who were responsible for making decisions on a whole range of issues.


    And as I just told the chairman, if Ambassador Stevens had grave concerns that he wanted raised with me, he certainly knew how to do that."

    and
    SANCHEZ: He could speak to your office or your staff?
    CLINTON: Absolutely.
    SANCHEZ: Or you directly on the telephone?
    CLINTON: Absolutely.
    SANCHEZ: Did he ever ask you for your personal e-mail address and you turned him down (inaudible)?
    CLINTON: No, he did not.

    and


    SMITH: In fact, we were -- we were here -- former -- I forget, I don't have the name in front of me, but ambassador in Russia said that, you know, he -- always had access to you, always had constant communication with you, never had your e-mail address.
    CLINTON: That's right.
    SMITH: I would hope that ambassadors would have more direct and immediate lines of communication, and Ambassador Stevens certainly did.

    Correct?

    CLINTON: Yes."

    Yes we all heard "You know don't blame me Stevens begged to go there and he knew how to get in touch with me so it's not my fault but hey sure Ill take responsibility because there are no consequences to face, sure why not?"

    This does not address or excuse her lying to us about it for weeks, which she did as we now know.



    I dont think anyone believes they wouldnt do such a thing, but it's clear now that it was only used as a campaign saving excuse with regards to Benghazi.

    Hillary revealed what a cold hearted low life she is. The ambassador asked for more security several times and Hillary's response was : It is not my job.

    What kind of person refuses to help someone that desperate in need? She was Secretary of State and had access to many people including the president and she turned her back on someone calling for help. Her excuse was "its not my job".....what a scumbag.

    Lol, there's that word again... Witch hunt...

    That's starting to rank up there along with racist, homophobe, bigot, and islamaphobe as the most overused and misinterpreted words by liberals.

    Ummmmmmm, no. The biggest take-away from the Benghazi Hearings, if you want to gauge by Google searches is that Hillary is too old to be President.

    https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=hillary clinton age

    Yes folks, that is the one thing that America took away from the hearings. Hillary appeared to get older as the hearings proceeded and the one issue that America cared about is whether she would turn to dust before their very eyes. I know, she is all of 69 years old and there have been older candidates, but she is a too much alcohol and too much venality in too short of time old. She looked pretty harsh as the cameras got closer to her. So if that is the number one question America is asking, then the Democrats really should not be claiming victory. Why? Because the Democrats elect people based on skin color, appearances, presence or not of a vagina, mindless slogans such as hope and change and other shallow stuff. If America goes shallow, Hillary's age, or more precisely, how old Hillary looks, may be the most salient issue of the election.

    The second reason that the Democrats should be wary of claiming victory is that the Republicans have a smoking gun that will make a wonderful attack ad. The ad will open with a video of Hillary telling Tyrone Woods mother that she will find and punish the producer of the video over the coffin of Tyrone Woods. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/hillary-clinton-benghazi-libya/2015/10/21/id/697373/ Then they will show the sequence of the Benghazi Hearing where it is revealed that she sent an e-mail to her daughter that she knew it was a terrorist attack. Since most Americans believe Hillary is dishonest, this ad will show she is depraved, as well.

    And finally, Hillary is testifying under oath. The most important audience for Hillary's performance will be the FBI. If they can add perjury, and let's face it, how many believe any Clinton can testify under oath without some perjury, to the long list of other crimes Hillary has committed, then that may be the cherry on top that pushes Hillary's transgressions from simply being reckless to being indictable.

    This just doesn't look like a Hillary victory to me.

    Hillary tried to explain away her cold hearted abandonment of the four Americans. "Its not my job" just does not cut it. She had access to many resources and did nothing. I believe if someone asked me for help and it was a matter of life and death I would do what I could to help them. Hillary turned her back on four Americans in trouble and they were killed. What kind of person does that?

    Fresh, you're not getting it. Hundreds of requests for extra security was sent. Zero were answered, nobody was sent, the Ambassador and 3 others were killed because of that. The terrorists aren't responsible for not sending more help.

    I did. And here's the sad part, you only listened to her. You should have listened to both sides. I didn't agree with her having to sit there for 11 hours, but geez man, she did it to herself. It could have been worse, imagine enduring a conflict with bullets and bombs whizzing past you and hitting beside you for 13 full hours and losing your friends and partial use of your left hand in the process. At least she went home the same night, and had full use of her limbs. I'm sure the guys in Benghazi would have loved to suffer a small coughing fit.

    Her and the obama administration told families of the Benghazi victims that they would find out who is responsible for the Youtube video. If what she stated above is true, who the (*)(*)(*)(*), in Benghazi, cared about that video? Face it man, the rotten (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) lied.

    That is such an irrelevant analogy. For that to be comparable, the people in the Twin Towers, OR the airplanes would have had to send hundreds of cables or emails to Bush and asked him for extra security. Furthermore, Bush would have had to be the SoS. (*)(*)(*)(*)ing pathetic, the lengths you guys will go to just to blame something on George Bush.

    Over 600, and she didn't see them. That's about as incompetent as one can be. That is absolutely pathetic. She saw everything else, she saw an email about Libyans needing fuel, medicine, and milk. But she didn't see over 600 asking for help by an Ambassador that knows Benghazi (according to Hillary) better than anyone? Get freaking real.
