Hillary Clinton Faces The Music At Benghazi Hearing - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In one ofthe most-watched hearings in historuy on Capitol Hill, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton faces one of the biggest tests of her career – not to mention her presidential campaign – as she testifies before the Select Committee on Benghazi in the House of Representatives. This, of course, is not the first time, but one wonders if she will come out swinging with her "what difference does it make" persona, or be buried in the minutia of her private email server.

Why is there still so much dispute about what happened three years ago? (Via The Wall Street Journal)

The national response to the attacks that killed four Americans in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, was complicated by secrecy, tragedy and national politics.

 

The presence and role of the Central Intelligence Agency in the area - the U.S. effort there was primarily a CIA operation—was not understood for months.

 

The confusion in the aftermath of the attacks – What triggered the attack? Why wasn’t more done to rescue the Americans? Why didn’t they have more protection? – led to years of blame and recrimination. Many now agree that security at the consulate was inadequate despite requests from those on the ground, but disagreements persist on who is responsible for that.

 

Complicating matters, the attack occurred less than two months before a presidential election, so it became caught up in the national political debate. And three months after the attack, Mrs. Clinton fainted and suffered a severe concussion, delaying her Senate hearing on the events.

Republicans on the panel are likely to challenge Mrs. Clinton on two key points.

First, they will probably focus on her involvement in any decisions regarding the security of Mr. Stevens at the Benghazi outpost.

Documents released so far suggest Mrs. Clinton received emails from top aides before the 2012 attacks warning about the poor security conditions in Benghazi, particularly at a hotel used by U.S. officials. This was seen as a central concern for Mr. Stevens, something he discussed with Libyan officials.

 

These emails are not necessarily a smoking gun proving Mrs. Clinton was somehow at fault — they were sent more than a year before the attack, and before the death of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi plunged the country even further into chaos.

 

Republicans could question her over why the State Department didn’t do more to boost security for Mr. Stevens, though these are questions she has faced before.

 

Mrs. Clinton has taken responsibility for the deadly assault at the Benghazi compound, but she has also said that security decisions were handled by other State Department officials, not herself.

The second main line of questioning is likely to concern Mrs. Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state from 2009 until 2013. She has said that in retrospect using this private email server was a mistake.

There’s confusion about the nature of some of the emails she received and replied on this server. Her critics have alleged that some of the emails contained classified and even “top secret” information, but Mrs. Clinton and her aides have insisted that none of the information was marked classified at the time it was received or sent.

 

It is unclear how much time Republicans will spend focusing on the server, but based on her recent debate performance, she may likely be ready for those questions.

Who will be the key figures at the hearing?

1) Mrs. Clinton: For her, the stakes are immense. She had a strong performance at the Democratic presidential debate last week, but little time was spent focusing on the Benghazi deaths. Still, when she faced questions about Benghazi or her personal email server she didn’t get rattled or turn defensive. If she makes it through this hearing without major revelations or stumbles, she could solidify her position at the top of the polls in the Democratic primary campaign. If she falters, a misstep could reshape the presidential race. Mrs. Clinton has testified before Congress on the Benghazi attacks once before – in January 2013.

2) Trey Gowdy: The Republican congressman from South Carolina leads the Benghazi committee, which he has hinted in recent days has become a miserable experience. A longtime prosecutor, his panel has conducted dozens of interviews about the terror attacks. But much of that work has been tainted in recent weeks, as two House Republicans have suggested that the committee’s work is in part aimed at hurting Mrs. Clinton’s White House chances. Mr. Gowdy has angrily denied the committee has a partisan motivation, but the suggestions have cast a cloud over the process.

3) Elijah Cummings: Mrs. Clinton will likely be careful not to broadside the Republicans on the panel, but she won’t have to. That’s because Mr. Cummings, the committee’s senior Democrat, will be there, and he has spent several months chastising the panel’s Republicans and bemoaning the way they have handled the investigation. He has much to gain or lose based on the hearing as well – he is running for the U.S. Senate in 2016, and his performance at the hearing could help or hurt him in the polls.

4) Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty: The committee’s work is supposed to focus on these men and the circumstances of their deaths in two separate attacks in Benghazi on that day. Mr. Stevens was the U.S. ambassador to Libya at the time. Mr. Smith was a foreign service information management officer, and Messrs. Woods and Doherty were contractors with the Central Intelligence Agency.

Who will be missing?

Anyone who thinks this will be anything other than kabuki theater is kidding themselves. Nothing is going to happen to killery. If the Obama admin was planning on prosecuting her, Biden wouldn't have announced he wasn't running like that yesterday. Same with the email thing. If a junior enlisted person had sent something like that ONCE they'd be finished and likely go to jail, but Hillary gets to do as she pleases. It doesn't matter if she is guilty or not, it just matters if the Obama just-us dept wants to prosecute her. Clearly they do not.

Weren't they helping these people ship what used to be Gaddafis weapons to Syria? So weren't the weapons used to kill those people in Libya the very same weapons we gave to them to send to Syria to overthrow Assad? The very same 'moderates' we thought we should arm?

There is no way everyone on that committee doesn't know that is exactly what was going on, yet they won't ask because they are all in on it too. Which makes this a waste of fucking time. Too bad there is no one to indict every single one of them.

It is fascinating to me how many republican affiliated ZHers want a broad and deep Benghazi investigation and have been pounding the table for three years on the same. Four dead military or spooks. Where was this fervor around a 9/11 investigation? You know the event that justified everything that lead up to Benghazi and yet the money trail was never followed and members of the commission stated NORAD and others lied. The event that galvanized the police state and enshrined secret shadow government corporate rule. You guys are real (red) team players, just not, you know patriots.

P.S. Hilliary is guilty of course.

Hillary answered a 3:00AM phone call from Al Qaeda in Benghazi where M. Qaddafi had them on the ropes. So Hillary came to the aid of the sworn enemies of the United States of America to prevent "genocide". It backfired.

Qaddafi was going to introduce a gold backed dinar which would put money power back in the hands of the people instead of in the banks. A threat to corrupt fiat bankers everywhere. Hillary needed an excuse to take Qaddafi down and the Al Qaeda that Qaddafi was beating the shit out of gave her an excuse.

Google it, it is all still out there. Qaddafi's gold backed dinar. Benghazi was always a hotbed of Al Qaeda murderers and Qaddaffi finaly had them on the ropes. The "genocide" lie was to enable Hillary to aid and abet enemies of the United States of America.

Hillary committed much more than treason, she committed crimes against humanity. She destroyed Libya AND Syria. And it means nothing to her or her supporters. Stone cold black hearted murdering bitch, the face of death for millions more if she gets elected.

And what happened to qaddafi's 144 tons of gold?

"Why is there still so much dispute about what happened three years ago?"

Clinton is clearly a corrupt, lying snake of a politician, like them all.

But let's remember who "Stevens" was...a pedophile who paid embassy staff to "solicit" young boys for sex in the immediate town of the building complex.

Many of the "attackers" were angry Muslim parents seeking to rid their neighborhood of lurking, creepy pedophiles who represented America.

I don't know who I would rather face, angry Muslim parents or angry Samoans...

Either way, for the Republicans to present this guy's death as some martyrdom cause without a rainbow NAMBlA flag parade is ludicrous.

Same can be said about the attacks that killed 3,000 americans on Sept. 11, 2001.

Muammar Gaddafi inherited one of the poorest nations in Africa . However, by the time he was assassinated, Libya was unquestionably Africa 's most prosperous nation. Libya had the highest GDP per capita and life expectancy in Africa and less people lived below the poverty line than in the Netherlands . Libyans did not only enjoy free health care and free education, they also enjoyed free electricity and interest free loans. The price of petrol was around $0.14 per liter and 40 loaves of bread cost just $0.15. Consequently, the UN designated Libya the 53rd highest in the world in human development….

Under Mr. Gaddafi, education was a human right and it was free for all Libyans. If a Libyan was unable to find employment after graduation the State would pay that person the average salary of their profession.

For millions of Americans health care is also increasingly becoming a privilege not a right. A recent study by Harvard Medical School estimates that lack of health insurance causes 44,789 excess deaths annually in America . Under Mr. Gaddafi, health care was a human right and it was free for all Libyans. ..

 When Colonel Gaddafi seized power in 1969, few women went to university. Today more than half of Libya 's university students are women. One of the first laws Mr. Gaddafi passed in 1970 was an equal pay for equal work law, only a few years after a similar law was passed in the U.S. In fact, Libyan working mothers enjoyed a range of benefits including cash bonuses for children, free day care, free health care centres and retirement at 55….

No, you're missing the point almost entirely.

The US shipped weapons and (possibly fighters) from Libya to Turkey to aid and abet Al Nusra (Al Qaeda). Granted, Al Nusra (Al Qaeda) is little more than a CIA franchise, but they are still the enemy of the US public, and therefore TREASON comes into play since Canklosaurus was serving in a public post.

What is interesting is Qaddafi gave up his nuclear ambitions during Pres. Clintons administration. Had he continued his program NATO would have not dared to attack Libya and and Qaddafi would be alive and in power.

This should be a lesson to Iran and North Korea to never give up their nuclear ambition lest they end up like Qaddafi and Saddam!

If I were leader of Iran I would be working overtime to build a nuclear device, which they are, to keep the Americans from attacking a peaceful nation.

If only the Republicans would have cared enough to do a real investigation of 911, 1000 times worse than what happened in Benghazi.  The outpost attacked that day was not an embassy, it was run by the CIA.  It was the CIA and their arms smuggling operations which put those people at risk, and they should have provided more security.  I'm no fan of Clinton, but not because of this.  It's an obvious political ploy and the majority of the US population is so propagandized and ignorant it might work.  As bad as Clinton is, we could do a lot worse.  Electing Jeb, Rubio, or Carson would be a fucking disaster.

Now Shrillary is 'honoring' the dead, with long eulogies about how great they were.  The bravery of the two CIA guys, who held off the hordes for hours, while their bosses told AfriCom

"Woods and Doherty called again for military support as they began to take on gunfire at the annex. Again, the request was denied. According to those present at the compound, there were no communications problems at the annex, and the team was in constant radio contact with headquarters. Ty Woods was manning a machine gun on the annex roof at the time. He painted a targeting laser on the enemy mortar that later killed him after calling for support from a Spectre gunship that never arrived."

"The fighting at the CIA annex lasted for more than four hours. That provided plenty of time for American aircraft and commandos based at our Sigonella Air base in Italy 480 miles away to intervene."

"Two separate Special Operations forces were instructed to stand down. Senior military and intelligence sources informed Fox News that a force specializing in counterterrorism rescues which was already in place at Sigonella could have reached Benghazi within less than two hours. The other team had previously operated in Central Europe, and was being moved to Sigonella."

What happened in Benghazi was predictable. The US was working with al-Qaeda and related Islamic fundamentalists to topple the government of Libya, led by Muammar Gaddafi- the strategy of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. The problem of course is that at the end of the day, the enemy of my enemy is also likely your enemy, too. The Benghazi attacks were blow back from this. Don’t expect any “answers” to come from these "hearings". HRC is a long standing member of the Team- large financial interests, their elected and unelected functionaries in government, enforcers- US military and criminal justice system- police, courts and the ministry of propaganda- corporate media. The goal of the “team” is to maintain wealth (mal) distribution and class relations. We have still not gotten a strait story on the Kennedy assassination or 911. No doubt, there will be some political grandstanding, but at the end of the day, don’t expect any major new revelations regarding Benghazi.
