Hillary gives The Finger to Benghazi Conspiracy

http://www.politicususa.com/2015/05/04/hillary-clinton-republican-conspiracy-theory-finger-testify-benghazi.html

Secretary Hillary Clinton’s lawyer informed Republican conspiracy theorists also known as the Republican Party that she will not be playing their election conspiracy games......more

"Republicans are still going. The one place they aren’t looking, naturally, is at themselves, in spite of being told by Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) during a Benghazi hearing that if they wanted to know who was responsible for Benghazi, they should buy themselves a mirror, telling them they have:

“the audacity to come here” when the administration requested, for worldwide security, “$440 million more than you guys wanted to provide. And the answer is that you damn didn’t provide it! You REDUCED what the administration asked for to protect these people. Ask not who the guilty party is, it’s you! It is us. It is this committee, and the things that we insist that we need have to cost money.”

If anyone is waiting for the press or Republicans to question why this charade is going on still, many years after everyone realized there was no there there, don’t bother.

1. I bet that right wing set of crazies on that committee...

is about to run into a Hillary Clinton buzz saw!

This will be another chance for her to confront the very real "vast right wing conspiracy" face to face. They have called Benghazi the greatest cover up in US history.

Hillary has already accepted responsibility, taken corrective actions as Secretary of State, and rational people understand Ambassador Stevens and the three others lost that night were doing absolutely what they believed in with no reservations. They gave their lives for our country, and the crazies are making a mockery of their sacrifice.

Oh, yes! Official Democratic candidate Hillary is coming! Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it!

2. Some way some how it needs to be brought out the cuts to the State department

How much the cuts and how much did they have to cut on security. Elijah Cummings did a great job on Isis, hopefully he will continue to corner them.

3. Yes. It needs to be dumped in Gowdys lap to answer for.

Gowdy will look like a whipped little boy when Sec Clinton gets done with him.
Glad she is wants the entire thing on camera. Not just the snips Gowdy sends to the MSM for his benefit.
Kick his ass Hillary!

4. The truth doesnt matter to Fox viewers

Their mind is already made up, the facts wont change that but I believe as the truth comes out next month at the Benghazi hearing those that count in the middle are going to see right through the GOPs lies as that party slowly falls down one white congressman at a time....

5. Precisely. Throws a wrench in the Gop plan to use Benghazi again in 2016

I'd like to know the conversation between Gowdy & Hillary's Conspiracy Attorneys.
Bet some serious arm twisting took place followed by a middle finger shoved in Gowdy's face.
Her 2016 Team includes a group of the finest conspiracy attorneys in the country.

And Gowdy's a twit anyway. He's got nothing.

12. I agree

These congressmen are going to find out just how powerful the Clinton pack is because I bet She is going to be on the offense next time she has to go to the Hill for some GOP motivated trumped up charge. She has the nations ear when she has to go up on the Hill so I hope she has some powerful sound bites that put the trump in perspective.

9. She has dealt with leaders of all stripes, worldwide, as Sec of State.

Gowdy is no where near the caliber of some global leaders she has had to meet on some common ground.

He is a wailing baby next to them.

8. Yup. Her terms or none. Her Team & Gowdy KNOW THERE'S NOTHING THERE.

If there was, they wouldn't be playing by Sec Clinton's terms.
She will clear her name to all those that matter.
And life will move on.

10. The budget cuts the Republicans demanded
Wed May 6, 2015, 01:23 PM

isn't widely known in the RW world...the media is chosing to gloss over it and ignore it as much and as often as possible. An open, recorded hearing will take care of that little tid bit....as Clinton has requested.
