"SNIP.............
The House Benghazi Committee rejected a request from Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clintons former chief of staff at the State Department, to have her testimony occur in a public session later this week, a source close to Mills said.
Mills desire for open testimony a request made because she fears Republicans will leak selected information that casts her in a negative light is just the first disagreement in whats likely to be a tense session Thursday, when she appears before the panel a day before Jake Sullivan, Clintons top policy guru, is also hauled in for questions.
The private interviews with Clintons top brass represent the highest-profile grillings yet for the panel probing the cause of, or avoidable factors that could have led to, the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that left four Americans dead.
Lawmakers who dont often attend the closed-door interviews with Benghazi witnesses, allowing staff investigators to take the lead are making the rare move of returning to Washington, D.C., early from their summer break to be present for the interviews with Mills, who no longer works for Clinton, and Sullivan, who remains Clintons No. 1 policy staffer on the campaign.

She is a bad ass attorney.
I remember her in the Senate for the Clinton impeachment.
