Benghazi Committee On Defense As It Readies For Clinton To Testify; Hillary "looking forward" to it.

HILLARY GROUP:

Hillary Clinton's testimony before the House Select Committee on Benghazi was supposed to be her chance to clear the air surrounding her use of a private email server as secretary of state. She had been facing constant questions from the media all summer as Republicans hammered away at the related issues of the emails and her role in the 2012 terrorist attack in Libya.

But heading into her testimony scheduled for Thursday morning, Republicans are the ones playing defense, while Clinton is in a much stronger political position.

"I think it is pretty clear that whatever they might have thought they were doing," Clinton said in a CNN interview last week, "they ended up becoming a partisan arm of the Republican National Committee with an overwhelming focus on trying to, as they admitted, drive down my poll numbers."

The trouble started with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's (R-Calif.) Sept. 29 interview on Fox News, when he applauded the purportedly nonpartisan Benghazi committee for achieving the very partisan goal of hurting Clinton's presidential bid.

McCarthy apologized over and over again, but it did no good. Clinton's campaign quickly put out an ad using his own words to argue that Republicans are using taxpayer funds to settle a political score.

As Republicans were still dealing with the fallout from McCarthy's comments, Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) then admitted that a "big part" of the Benghazi investigation was "designed to go after people and an individual, Hillary Clinton." Bradley Podliska, a former Republican staffer on the committee, came out and said he was punished for refusing to go along with directions to focus his work on taking down Clinton....

&quot Clinton's) looking forward to doing this. She wants to answer all these questions," campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said on MSNBC Tuesday. "And we think once she is through Thursday, we are going to be done with this and she will have answered questions from all the media, she will have answered questions from the Hill. This will be the eighth time the congressional committee has investigated this, and it will be time to move on."

3. This committee is dead in the water, if they produce a report with anything but we should find more

ways of protecting our people on these special missions and there isn't anything Hillary Clinton could have done the night these attacks occurred to have save the lives of these people.

If a person was suspicious...he might think that the republicans cut the security budget on purpose, hoping something bad would happen under President Obama's watch.

And when is Bush coming before congress to answer for 3000 plus killed on 9-11?

Remember the big Congressional investigations of Reagan when the marine barracks in Beirut were blown up and 241 or so marines killed?

Yeah, me neither.
