Benghazi Hearing Today!!!

[Pressing-On]

Hicks: I was told not to talk to Rep. Chaffetz. Told by State Dept. lawyers not too speak with/cooperate w/ Congressional inquiry into Benghazi. First time I've ever been called and told not to talk to Congress.

[Pressing-On]

Turner bringing up two stand down decisions. Wants to know who gave orders and why.

Hicks giving all details beginning with placement of those involved. Chain of command had been changed.

Hicks said he doesn't know why they were told to stand down. Every reason to believe our personnel were in danger.

Gibson said he was told not to pursue the airplane.

My reaction was, Okay, we are on our own. We are going to have to use the resources we have.

[Pressing-On]

Rep Connelly brings up Daniel Benjamin. Again, Dems hiding behind officials who weren't there to refute whistleblowers who were.

This hearing is disastrous for Hillary.

I was able to listen to a presser by the state dept before the hearing began. And if this is correct, the spokesman flat out lied. He said everyone was instructed to cooperate and tell the truth. He said any claim that the state dept told people not to talk is not true.

Somebody's lying. So far, the State dept looks guilty as all get-out.

The most horrible part is remembering when Hillary Clinton stood before those caskets, draped with American flags, and LIED about this horrible situation blaming it on a YouTube video. She is a horrible, lying woman like her husband. They have no decency.

Speier confirming that Hicks was not allowed to speak to Chaffetz.

"Not to be personally interviewed by Chaffetz. That is the meaning of being not isolated, not being personally interviewed."

[Pressing-On]

Ambassador Stevens would have reported a protest at his door.

Was there a connection to a YouTube video?

The YouTube video was a NON-event in Lybia.

The only report our mission made, through every channel that there was an attack. Not a protest.

[Pressing-On]

McHENRY: to Hicks, were you part of talking points Amb RIce used on talking show? Hicks says no he was not

McHENRY: a month after AMB Rice on Sunday shows, DOD defends her comment.

HICKS: it took 17-18 days for us to get the FBI to Benghazi

[Pressing-On]

Hicks asked if ARB report lets anyone off the hook. "Yes." ID's presidential appointees approved by senate.

[Pressing-On]

Duckworth saying she regrets they didn't have time to prepare for this hearing. LOL!
