Must See Video: Here’s the Key Moment in Benghazi Hearings – Rep. Jordan Nails Hillary on Lies

Thursday, October 22, 2015 10:34

It’s been painful to watch Hillary Clinton’s testimony during the Benghazi hearings. She skirts, deflects and blames others — and the Democrat committee members are in full mop up mode. If only the Dem members were as concerned with saving American lives as they are with saving Hillary.

But all that changed when Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) questioned Hillary on her string of lies. Big lies.

Jordan showed us the emails  Hillary wrote her family, the Libyan President and the Egyptian President (separately) that evening that it was an al Qaeda attack but she told the American people it was a video



NYT: Representative Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio, pressed Hillary Rodham Clinton on early suggestions that protests against an inflammatory anti-Islam video had played a role in the attack in Benghazi. “Where did the false narrative start?” Mr. Jordan said. “It started with you, Madame Secretary.”

Mrs. Clinton said that she had mentioned the video as a warning to the region, and that she had not been saying it set off the attack. Mr. Jordan then displayed email exchanges that showed Mrs. Clinton calling the incident a “planned attack — not a protest.”

The topic of whether the video led to the attack caused Mrs. Clinton to become flustered in her 2013 testimony about Benghazi, when she responded, “Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans,” Clinton said then, waving her arms. “What difference–at this point, what difference does it make?”

This time Mrs. Clinton kept her calm as Mr. Jordan pressed her, highlighting emails that he said proved the State Department had intentionally misled the public about whether protests related to the video had led to the attack. Mrs. Clinton said that had not been the case and that it was a fast-moving period with a lot of fluid information. “We were in a position of trying to make sense of a lot of incoming information,” she said.

Mr. Jordan said that a terrorist attack would have hurt the Obama administration in a re-election year and suggested that Mrs. Clinton therefore characterized the Benghazi attack as growing out of spontaneous protests against the video. “You did it because Libya,” Mr. Jordan said, “was supposed to be this great success story.”

The Hillary quote, "What difference does it make?" was taken out of context and is used out of context by her political rivals.

The Benghazi crusade is about scoring political points.  Two prominent Republicans have recently admitted as much. 

Hillary Clinton: 'Ofcourse I Was Responsible For Security, I Take Full Responsibility!

Published on Oct 22, 2015
From a cable news and Twitter perspective, the Benghazi hearing today was custom-made for polarized audiences far and wide: 97 percent who watched or listened or followed their Twitter feed had their minds made up on guilt or innocence well before the first question was asked. You either strongly believe Hillary Clinton is lying or you think this is all a witch hunt to injure her presidential hopes. And no matter how things ended today — no matter what you heard — you believed what you wanted to believe.

Actually, check that: Probably a solid majority believed both: Hillary is lying and it’s a partisan witch hunt on the part of the GOP to damage the likely Democratic nominee. But credibility and honestly are two things for those who plan to vote for Mrs. Clinton that is superseded ten-times over by hatred of the Republican party. Does HRC17 tell invalid truths so often and is so bent on becoming the second-most powerful person in the world (behind Vladimir) that she doesn’t even know the difference between fact and fiction anymore? Yes. Do her supporters really care about integrity to the point they’ll vote for whomever the GOP nominee is instead? Of course not. That’s just the world we live in now, and it’s sad.

So we hear the analysis from the professional political chattering class across the spectrum and the basic gist is mostly this: Because Trey Gowdy and Company couldn’t get the former Secretary of State to admit she ordered what is the non-fictional version of the Code Red (or in this case, a stand-down order that allowed four Americans — including an Ambassador — to be slaughtered at the hands of terrorists), the committee failed. We’ll rightly also be told that today’s event won’t have any effect on the Clinton machine bulldozing the disturbingly weak bench that is the rest of her “competition” on her way to the nomination. Hillary didn’t break like Colonel Jessup = Victory.

If you’re a producer back in the newsroom looking to condense almost seven hours of testimony into a nice, neat package, you’re trained to look for the “best” SOTs (sound on tape). Not necessarily anything based in substance, of course, but where the fireworks occurred. That’s why you’ll see Elijah Cummings featured prominently tonight and through the weekend. Not for any substantial reason, of course, but because he raised his voice, even raised a finger… well, that’s huuuuuge. Just as it was in the first GOP debate, which basically had on a loop the following day a rather inconsequential (but loud and contentious) exchange between afterthoughts Rand Paul and Chris Christie. You yell, you act pissed, you will get airtime in any cable news coverage afterward… actual content of what’s being voiced be damned.

Hillary Clinton testified again on Benghazi today, sometimes things got awkward, heated. The takeaway in our polarized media will either declare the proceeding was either damaging-but-not-devastating-for her or a non-event, perhaps even a net-plus.

And unless there’s a blue dress and DNA involved, any Clinton will deny and deflect until the public becomes damn tired of hearing about it. It’s a strategy that’s worked before and may work again. Drip. Drip. Drip until the handful of independent voters still left doze off.

Many watched today, many will catch up after getting home from work. It continues now into this Thursday evening. Not one mind will be changed as a result come 382 days from now on Election Day.

But we all tune in for the theatre anyway… with some hoping someone can’t handle the truth… or admits to ordering the Code Red.

(Dis)Info Wars is not news. Libertardian propaganda perpetrated by fraud boy Alex Jone$. I have zero respect for you and your crappy post.


They didn't spend this much time and money investigating 9/11, for buggers sake. And a whole lot more people died there. And no, that's not an invitation to reopen arguments on that bullshit, just making a comparison on how the teabaggers in Congress handle it when their own guys bugger up.

And the fact that Chris Stevens requested additional security, but didn't get it. That puts the blame directly on the teabagging imbeciles in Congress themselves, as they would be the ones who refused to fund such a request. So maybe Howdy Gowdy should be investigating himself, and his predecessor Joe McCarthief Issa.

So far, there's been seven investigations (all at American taxpayer expense) and that have all come to the same conclusion that mistakes were made but you can't protect everyone. Four guys died? I'm sorry for their families but I knew more than four guys that died in Iraq (out of over 4,000 service personnel). Where are their seven investigations? That's the god damn difference it makes.

Clinton: I was the one who asked Stevens to go

mmm ...

Gowdy, Cummings get heated during Benghazi hearing
