http://therightscoop.com/heres-how-...t-benghazi-hearing-today-on-the-nightly-news/ I certainly didn't expect any earthshaking revelations out of Hillary's testimony before the Congressional committee today. As expected, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R) attacked and Rep. Elijah Cummings (D) flew cover for Hillary. No surprises, nothing unexpected. At this time, what difference does it make? There were no surprises from the social media sources either. I did find The Right Scoop commentary somewhat amusing in its comparitive coverage, with video, by ABC, CBS and NBC. Unfortunately I didn't see or hear any news outlet point out that Hillary's testimony and the Benghazi committee hearings in total is almost meaningless. Despite the evidence that the video story was a smokescreen excuse for mislabeling the attack on the compound, the disclosure won't change voters' minds. The important issue in the campaign is Hillary's use of the private email server(s) in violation of Federal regulations, sharing security correspondence with Sidney Blumenthal, the Russians, the Chinese and hackers around the world. Hillary seemingly -- I am being polite -- violated, as the FBI is finding, the same regulations that General Petraeus was convicted of. Whereas Patraeus had a few papers at home, seen by his biographer/lover, Hillary shared thousands of emails and documents. Is Hillary trustworthy? Will Hillary be (similarly) charged? Heh. Snicker. Chortle.
I watched part of it, but it was an unholy hybrid of boredom and Hillary lying her butt off. I'm glad Gowdy is there because he doesn't mess around. And Cummings is just a despicable, partisan hack. All and all, I'm not surprised by the results. Hillary as Secretary of State was at bet a gross incompetence or at worst a crook. She'll maintain, in so many words, the former, but there is enough evidence to seriously suspect the latter.
http://www.bullmarketboard.com/threads/5978-Biden-Will-he-or-won-t-he?p=33492&viewfull=1#post33492 A.B. Stoddard of The Hill suggests that Biden is still ready to step back into the campaign if Hillary implodes over Benghazi or the FBI investigation. Stoddard comes the closest to my opining that, in terms of her campaign outcome, the email business is more important than the Benghazi hearings.
http://dailycaller.com/2015/10/22/f...stigation-into-hillary-clintons-emails-video/ How can the Democratic party put forward a Presidential candidate who is under an active FBI investigation? It has never been done before. Let's try an adjective: untrustworthy? As tragic as the four American deaths in Benghazi were, the committee findings will not in themselves terminate Hillary"s presumptive nomination.
It won´t matter. As I keep pointing out, the only people who won´t vote for Hillary because of Beghazi or the email servers are people who would never vote for her anyway. 20% of Americans say they will never vote for Hillary because of her involvement in the Beghazi mes, 40% say they have trust issues because of the email server..... and those are basically the same 40ish % who voted for Romney last time. If Hillary loses, it is because she is an unlikeable person overall, which has been her problem all along. Unpolitical people ( ie, the middle 20% of voters) have to learn to like her if she wants to win. 40% will definitely vote for her, 40% will definitely vote against her. The problem for the Reps is that most of the Republican people are in worse shape that Hillary (Trump Cruz etc). Of those 20% in the middle, Hillary will get more than Donald.
Agreed. It was great to see it made official that she and the administration lied about the whole "video" angle. And that she was communicating with Sid Blumenthal against the admin's wishes. And that she was NOT communicating with poor Ambassador Stevens. And that she laughed about his reaching out to the Brits for barriers. And that she ducked responsibility for it all by saying it was solely the responsibility of the "security professionals". I think that the Republicans could have been more focused and direct much of the time on these very important points, but they did succeed in making these points during the course of all of the lengthy and often unfocused questioning. 2 things that I think could either save her or sink her would be: 1)that I'd think this would all be mysteriously obstructed or somehow dropped if this all gets too close to the white house, thus somehow saving her from any serious trouble with the FBI; OR 2) that her forbidden relationship with Blumenthal pissed the white house off enough to throw her under the bus and let the FBI and DOJ go by the book with her troubles.

Caling out Hillary for breaking the law, this is an interesting video. Incredulous.

Whittle knows how to do a smack down. It is also a pretty good overview of the whole wretched situation. Oh and Hillary's fake laugh is wince-inducing.
