http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/7/71/576375/hillary-clinton-agrees-testify-benghazi-emails-monthWASHINGTON Hillary Rodham Clinton has agreed to testify on Capitol Hill later this month about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, and about her email practices.
Her lawyer David Kendall wrote to lawmakers Monday telling them she would agree to the request from a special panel investigating the September 2012 attacks that killed four Americans.
But Kendall said Clinton would testify only for one session. The committee chairman, GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, had requested that she appear twice, for a hearing on Clintons use of private emails and for a separate session on Benghazi.
Kendall said Clinton would answer all lawmakers questions during one session and it would not be necessary for her to appear twice.

Oh and get this: look at how "The Hill" twists this in their headline: Clinton refuses GOP request to testify twice on Benghazi

Does "answer all questions" include not actually answering, or referring questions to council.

If Hillary is treated fairly and Gowdy runs the committee properly she can give the information

There is no reason that she should have to go once, but glad she won't go twice.

(68,644 posts)8. I don't have an issue with Benghazi, it's the emails I think were scandalous.
Scandalous and representative of a demeanor that I think is entitled and arrogant.

And get this behind her. I feel sure the doubters will remain and continue the same crap, dont expect any different from them, just like the talking points, cognitive dissonance has taken any reasonability out of this.
