You mean the WRONG PERSON was convicted for this and not for the reason the hearings were held. It did not take 4 years because a legitimate administration cooperated with the committee doing the investigation.

Representative Jim Jordans questioning regarding Loretta Lynch and Obama, this is absolutely crazy.

Quote:
Toward the end of the nearly six-hour hearing, Jordan asked Richards about the internal workings of her staff. "Since the videos, has anyone from HHS, CMS contacted you?" Richards replied that because she has a big staff, she can't answer that with 100 percent confidence. "Has the Attorney General of the United States Loretta Lynch contacted Planned Parenthood?"

Jordan persisted. "Has anyone from the Justice Department contacted Planned Parenthood since the videos surfaced? There are potentially four federal crimes committed here, and all I'm asking is, has the Justice Department contacted you?" Richards repeated that she could not answer his questions with any certainty.Jordan then escalated his attack. "Have you had any conversations with the president of the United States?" he asked. "Since the videos have surfaced, how many times have you been to the White House? How many times have you been to the White House since Mr. Obama's been president?" Richards again said she couldn't be sure, but Jordan was ready with an answer. "Our count shows that you, your board members, and senior staff have been to the White House 151 times in six and a half years."

The problem is obama, rice and HRC lied to everyone, telling them benghazi was caused by a video to protect obama's claim of defeating terrorists just before election.

Legal or not this entire episode was an unethical scam that was going to pass without consequence for the lying administration. The fact that an attack on the anniversary of 911 was a surprise to the state dept and obama points to colossal failure on their part.

Too bad the media propaganda machine became obama's lap dog, it would have eliminated the need for the benghazi hearings by challenging the lies of the obama administration.

The investigation concluded in a reasonable time considering WMD was one of the reasons we spent 10 years in Iraq. The administration was cooperative, I have a different recollection.

Cheney was cooperative. LOL

On Oct. 28, 2005, a grand jury handed down a five-count indictment in the 22-month-long investigation into whether White House officials illegally leaked the identity of Valerie Plame, a covert CIA agent, in retaliation for public criticisms made by her husband, Joseph Wilson IV, about the Bush administration's case for invading Iraq.

Waste of time and money? What are congressional committees for other than fact finding investigations? The problem with any hearings during the Obama administration is the witnesses and facts get swept under the rug by democrats. Look up some of them on YT and hear idiots like Cummings halfway apologize to one being questioned. The murder of a US ambassador means nothing yet the killings of thugs takes precedence over all. We have strayed far as a nation.

Hillary doesn't have to comply because Holder won't make her. If it was a republican he would burn that person at the stake while Obama poured gas on the wood.

SCOTUS rules in favor of liberals and would do so in the cases of BENGHAZI and/or emails.

I'm gonna read some Mark Levin this week to ease my mind.
yep, and a few others for that matter. Will anything ever come of the Benghzi thing? Probably not. did she screw up? My opinion she did but she has found a way to get herself out of so many messes it isn't funny!!!!!!

Obama should be in on the hearings as well; he knew what was going on. He will kiss Papal ass but caring about Americans being killed by terrorists overseas should be a chief concern.
I am NOT obsovling her of fault but it is shared fault which in a civil court, makes it hard to define proper punishment.
