There was no lack of drama in the morning session of the House Benghazi committee on Thursday, whose stated purpose is an inquiry into the 2012 attacks that killed four Americans in Libya.
Everyone involved came prepared to play to the TV cameras. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fended off harsh accusations from committee members, including committee chairman Trey Gowdy and Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, saying, “I have thought more about what happened than all of you put together; I have lost more sleep than all of you put together.”
Clinton was responding to assertions from some members of the committee that her emails regarding the events of Sept. 11, 2012, contradicted each other about initial reports that a video inspired the attacks rather than a premeditated terrorist attack. Jordan tried to personalize the criticism in phrasing his assertion to Clinton: “You tell your family it’s a terrorist attack, but not the American people.”
There was also a heated exchange that barely involved Clinton, a rancorous dialogue between committee members Gowdy, a Republican, and Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Democrat. The two argued over Gowdy’s lengthy condemnation of Clinton’s friend and former senior advisor Sidney Blumenthal and his influence on Clinton.
