Hillary Clinton exit strategy by April 2016?

Believe me, liberals - along with everyone except the furthest-to-the-right wackadoos - are having a good day today.

Mother Jones......................Bwahahahahahahahhahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!
Did you buy your health crystals while you were there?

Under patient but persistent questioning from Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN)33%, Clinton admitted that she had not signed a waiver for security arrangements on the site, as required by the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999

Keep trying Breitbart, don't give up! This committee will find something sooner or later, Hillary must go down!

Benghazi Investigation: The Cost to Taxpayers
http://askedandanswered-democrats.benghazi.house.gov/cost/

$4,812,157.02 Spent by the Select Committee on Benghazi to date*

This calculation does not include the costs of: the independent Accountability Review Board; the eight previous reports by seven Congressional committees; the time, money, and resources consumed by federal agencies to comply with Select Committee requests; or the opportunity cost of not spending this money elsewhere, like improving security for our diplomatic officers abroad.

The Select Committee on Benghazi has been investigating for 533 Days which is longer than the investigations of Pearl Harbor, the Kennedy assassination, Iran-Contra and Hurricane Katrina.

I'm starting to think Republicans from the south are like their own race.

You guys really elect people like Trey Gowdy, Martha Roby and Lynn Westmoreland? You have to be SO PROUD.....

What a crock of **** this whole thing was.....

I say this now more than ever: In the 1980's the joke in politics was the black vote and their so-called representatives like Jesse Jackson. Now it's the southern republican. They have no idea how much of a laughing stock they are. It's crazy town.

Seriously? What a bunch of ****. Clinton is a liar so you need to deal with it. She lied about the video. She lied about her e-mails. And she broke the law. She should be in prison just like the CIC who has broken the law. But continue to ***** about Gowdy who is a former prosecutor and who ate Clinton's lunch.

BTW you want to see a laughing stock go find a democrat that thought an island was going to fall into the ocean... Crazy town indeed.

You should probably flush out your headgear. The Emails are being recovered and one showing that the Hildebeast knew the incident was a planned attack and not a protest over some YouTube "Movie" has already come to light. The rest will come out soon. To top that off she is probably going to be indicted for breaching the security laws regarding the server those emails were recovered from.

You buy into some iffy conspiracy blogs. But go ahead and link a source.

 

[Tibs]

Some of you just don't get it. From start to finish, this partisan witch hunt has been a shameful embarassment to the GOP akin to the McCarthy hearings of the 50's. As painful as it may be, it's time to save face and admit defeat. Cut your losses and move on. I'm afraid the damage done will be hard to overcome. The net-net result of the Benghazi hearings? A big boost for Hillary Clinton's presidential run. Nice work, Republicans!

Hillary’s Best Week Yet

[Rod Farva]

It aint over 'til the fat lady's in jail.

As for the investigation's length.....wonder why it took so long. That's a real puzzler.

And back during Pearl Harbor, the Kennedy assassination, etc. people still called bullshit bullshit and the enemy was not internal. Partisanship is far worse, imo, than it was then and both parties will go to any length to "first do no harm" to their comrades.

 

[Tibs]

Keep on chasing rainbows and butterflies, Rod. Maybe in the end, it shall all come together for you guys. At this stage, it looks like you're holding the short end of the stick. "Hildebeast" went full Beast Mode on that committee yesterday, only the blind can't see that.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

While she might have appeared Presidential she lied her *** off and contradicted herself many times.

 

[IndySteel]

She should be in prison.

 

[Tibs]

Now that the circus act slowly grinds to a halt, it's time to look at the real facts in this case.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/...ary-Benghazi-was-GOP-s-fault?detail=facebook#

The article also quotes Washington Post reporting showing that the GOP embassy security cuts were part of a multi year effort, lead by Paul Ryan's budget, to cut the following:

For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Department’s Worldwide Security Protection program — well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012....

[In 2011] Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security” — a charge Republicans rejected.

[GOP vice presidential nominee Paul] Ryan, [Rep. Darrell] Issa and other House Republicans voted for an amendment in 2009 to cut $1.2 billion from State operations, including funds for 300 more diplomatic security positions. Under Ryan’s budget, non-defense discretionary spending, which includes State Department funding, would be slashed nearly 20 percent in 2014, which would translate to more than $400 million in additional cuts to embassy security.

One year before Benghazi, Hillary warned the GOP that their embassy security cuts put Americans at risk, and they didn't listen to her.

Disgusting.

If Full Beast Mode means a typical Clinton-esque performance of lying and inconsistencies, I can't disagree a bit with you.

Hillary Clinton showed us a glimpse of her soul at Benghazi hearings. It was chilling

I did not watch the Benghazi hearings, unlike many others, in hopes of catching Secretary Clinton out, with my ears perked up for some admission that could sink her presidential ambitions.

Secretary Clinton did not disappoint in her performance on Thursday.

She admitted to no wrongdoing, nor to breaking any laws.

Mistakes were made by others, the fault lies elsewhere.

She put up with hours and hours of questions, and no one laid a glove on her.

Secretary Clinton was far more adept at bobbing and weaving than the members of Congress who questioned her were at pinning her down.

She brushed off blame by saying security decisions were handled at lower levels of the State Department professional staff, not by the secretary.

She didn't receive Ambassador Stevens' requests for more security -- implying that if only she had things might have turned out differently.

It was a masterful performance. She showed enormous discipline and nearly super-human stamina.
She let nothing slip. But in the end she let everything slip. She got a perfect score, but failed the test.

She didn't mean to, but she showed us a glimpse into her soul.

It was chilling.

We now know that when Secretary Clinton met the plane carrying the bodies of the four Americans who died at Benghazi that the Obama administration had intially lied about what happened.

She stood over the flag-draped coffins of four dead Americans knowing that the first narrative blamed their deaths on an Internet video, which caused a demonstration outside the consulate to turn into a deadly attack, when she already knew the truth.

She looked into the eyes of the families of the fallen heroes knowing all about that.

She always knew they died from a planned terrorist attack from an Al Qaeda-like group. That's what she told her family and foreign leaders according to newly released emails.

So why support the false narrative at the start? Because the Obama administration had an election to win eight weeks later, and a terrorist attack that killed four Americans didn't fit into that plan.

President Obama asked voters to reelect him because he had killed Usama bin Laden. Al Qaeda was on the ropes. Qaddafi was dead and the Libyan war a success. The wave of war was a receding. President George W. Bush's War on Terror was over because Obama and Clinton had won it.

A terrorist attack that killed Americans at Benghazi did not fit into that campaign narrative, so it had to be retold and spun into a different story. It wasn't radical Islamist terrorists, but a spontaneous demonstration that got out of control in reaction to an obscure Internet video.

In the end, the Benghazi hearings probably didn't change many minds.

Secretary Clinton's supporters will say it was a waste of time, a politically motivated witchhunt.

Secretary Clinton's detractors will say she never answered the questions.

But for me it wasn't the questions or the answers that mattered.

It wasn't about negligence or criminality or incompetence.

Instead it was -- and still is -- about character. And Secretary Clinton has been found wanting.

The even greater tragedy is Secretary Clinton doesn’t think she did anything wrong. In today’s Washington integrity and truth telling -- even to mourning families -- take a backseat to the relentless pursuit of power.

No wonder the rest of the country wants to throw all the bums out.

Great read...

The Benghazi Hearings Sham
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_...structive_partisan_embarrassment_for_the.html

The performance was a self-destructive, partisan embarrassment for the GOP.

Eleven hours after the hearing began, Gowdy gave up. Clinton was exhausted but still in good humor. Her inquisitors, however, were furious. After all the subpoenas, emails, and testimony, the evidence had once again failed to match their beliefs. But the committee did its job. It clarified the truth about Benghazi: Hillary Clinton did nothing wrong. And Republicans can’t stand it.

Republicans' 11-Hour Gift to Hillary Clinton
http://www.rollingstone.com/politic...ift-to-hillary-clinton-20151023#ixzz3pP7ujZD0

Conservatives on the Benghazi committee practically picked Clinton up and carried her toward the White House

But what's downright hilarious is the entire hearing's premise: that Hillary Clinton is simultaneously a conniving political manipulator who has bedeviled the American people and the Republican Party for nearly 25 years, and someone so stupid and incompetent that exhausting her with hours of parroted questions she's heard a dozen times would make her fall apart. That's just some primo thinking right there. This elusive mastermind's a sitting duck! All we have to do is make sure she sees us coming from a thousand miles away.

And she did. It's easy to make fun of the players here. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, the Republican members of the House Select Committee on Benghazi are certifiable. But you knew that already. What was uniquely stupid is that they just gave Hillary Clinton an 11-hour advertisement for her presidency on live TV.

Hillary's reaction shots are already fodder for animated GIFs you'll see until the day she dies. Idly brushing lint off her lapel and resuming meeting the gaze of whomever was barking at her in Hour Whatever. Resting her head on her hand and leveling a get a load of this bullshit gaze at two committee members bickering. Delivering yet another patient, resigned smile as if to say here we go again before answering something, yes, again.

She didn't lose her cool under circumstances that would have sent any of us screaming for the exit or climbing over the dais to try to brain someone with a shoe. She was by far the most prepared person at the hearings and the most fluent in the details. She said the two funniest lines of the day, broke into a big natural grin, delivered a fairly riveting account of the fog of war during the events of the compound attack, and became visibly affected when talking about those harmed during it. The Republicans on the Benghazi committee just inadvertently put her through an 11-hour stress test of her intelligence, patience and composure as a leader. They just vetted their own opposition, and they did it through such a protracted, disingenuous, confused and obnoxious display that even people who have every right to feel ambivalent about her doubtless felt a twinge of sympathy.

The Republicans wanted Hillary Clinton's head mounted on a wall, and they'll get it. At this rate, barring something truly remarkable by Bernie Sanders, it will probably come in the form of her official presidential photo.

Hillary lied, people died. And she deleted her emails to try and cover it up. Anyone who defends her is just as big of a piece of **** as she is.

Eight congressional hearings later, it's time to lick your wounds and move on. Stop wasting tax payer money on your frivolous, partisan wild goose chase. It's over. In the end, Hillary came out of this stronger than ever. What a monumental, unmitigated disaster for the GOP.

 

[Vader]

She flat out lied to the American people about the video:

http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/10/...helsea-during-benghazi-attack-blames-al-qaeda

She told her family just hours after the attack that it was a planned attack by Al Qaeda. She then tells the P.M. of Egypt that the video had NOTHING to do with the attacks. But she kept lying to everybody about it. Just like the piece of **** president kept lying about it. She's a known liar and whoever votes for her is doing it because they are socialists just like her and want to make this country into Europe. They've lied all these years but are now coming out of the closet as pure socialists. The democratic party is a bunch of corrupt socialists bankrupt of morals or ideas. Hillary's claim to fame is that she is a woman. Big ****. She's a lying *****.

Benghazi hearing floods Clinton campaign coffers with cash
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/...enefits-benghazi-hearing-215107#ixzz3pPWUuxAP

Call it the Committee To Increase Hillary Clinton's Fundraising.

Donations have been flooding into campaign coffers over the past 13 hours since her testimony in front of the House Benghazi committee wrapped late Thursday night, thrilling Clinton fundraisers on the eve of a weekend-long finance committee meeting that couldn’t have come at a better time. According to communications director Jennifer Palmieri, the hour between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. last night was their best fundraising hour of the campaign to date.

 

[Tim Steelersfan]

I've said this before and I'll repeat it again and again. We are done. Because all Americans care about is winning/losing. It's BS to hear politicians talk about "the future" and leaving a better world for our children and grand children. Politics are about party preservation. And this is all that Americans care about now winning.

You'll notice this in all of Tibs' posts on the previous page. We see the errors. We see the lies. But to him, and too many other, it's the final score. What happens in between doesn't matter.
