Her evasions are evident in her body language (leaning her face on her hand, etc). I am not impressed, and although not a Republican, I admire McCain's deeply probing questions that never got answered. IMO, nothing will come of this sham "investigation."
Yep, it's nothing more than a farcical dog and pony show to make it "look" like Congress is doing something.

You are arguing something that is arbitrary. And something that isnt true.

The big picture is lost. The reasons are the same on why we get attacked over there. Bring our troops home and protect our borders like the constitution says. Just being over there makes us less safe.

If he were President, Benghazi more than likely would never have happened. Our troops would be home. Get it yet?
Read the 9/11 commission reports as well as the CIAs Bin Laden report. oh and don't post right after going to Happy Hour on an empty stomach.

She is not about to expose classified info to the public, info that McCain has access to. He was grandstanding for effect trying to bait her into doing something illegal. But hey, you knew that, right?

Hats off to Rand Paul for having the courage to speak the truth instead of showering her with compliments.

Hillary has put in a call to Monica Lewinsky to inquire where she can find a good dry cleaner. That green outfit of hers is such a mess !

(Rand is my hero. Rubio ... not so much anymore.)

FAIL.

hillary specifically said Marines were not not involved BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.

LOL@U. Looks like you weren't paying attention.

So if the whole hearing is a farce why bother to do it at all (at the taxpayer's expense)? How much did this farce cost us?
Are we learning anything we did not get told before? He may have been grandstanding, but she was BS'ing.
