Re: Benghazi Hearing Today!!!

I don't have time for any more of this today. I notice that Breitbart is posting Live Updates with a little more detail. You can refresh and follow the link. It is a little behind, but even following the footage, the updates line out what was already stated making it beneficial.

Re: Benghazi Hearing Today!!!

I do want to add, because it is VERY important.

Hicks just stated, words to effect, that he was praised by Administration for his actions in Benghazi, but things went downhill after he questioned Rice's comments on the Sunday morning talk shows.

Re: Benghazi Hearing Today!!!

PO, thanks for taking time, I fell asleep. Was there any smoking gun or was it the basic partisan criticism?

DM, The overriding issue over this whole testimony has to be - Who corroborated with Susan Rice to lie about the YouTube video.

And concerning who was in charge of adding more security or personnel? Where does the decision rest?

"By statute, Mr. Nordstrom, who has the authority to place personnel in a facility that does not meet the minimum OSPB standards?"

Nordstrom- "The OSPB standards go in tandem with SECA, which is Secure Embassy Construction. It's my understanding that, since we were the occupants of both facilities-- Benghazi and Tripoli-- the only person who could grant waivers or exceptions to those are the Secretary of State."

Another huge problem for the Administration is Hick's testimony regarding his demotion after his questioning of Rice's comments -

Hicks - “In hindsight, I think it began after I asked the question about Ambassador Rice’s statement on the TV shows."

He asked Assistant Secy Beth Jones why Rice had made the statements she did on the September talk shows.

“Her reaction was ‘I don’t know,’ and it was very clear from the tone that I should not proceed with any further questions."

In answer to your question- YES! Absolutely a smoking gun.

I am thankful that the GOP has stayed solely on the principle of Q & A with no politicking.

I was also glad to see a Congressman, from our district, asking good questions. Aside from checking out his background, I hadn't heard him speak much. So, that made me doubly glad to have voted for him - being that I only voted for, I think 3 Republicans, in the election.

Re: Benghazi Hearing Today!!!

Question for everyone. What do people think really happened? Surely they dont believe the FOX news report that Obama was watching the attack live and refused to send help. Why would Obama just turn his head while these people were in harms way? What would that profit him?

concerning susan rice, that has already been vetted, intelligence authored her talking points. concerning security, congress cut the solicited funds. concerning hicks demotion, who cares? that is what happens when you buck the pecking order. i see nothing devastating or watergatish so far. waiting for the media spin.
