New CNN Poll
Do you think the House Select Committee on Benghazi is mostly conducting an objective
investigation of what happened in the Benghazi attack, or is it mostly using the investigation to gain
political advantage? (ASKED OF HALF SAMPLE. RESULTS BASED ON 523 INTERVIEWS IN
VERSION B -- SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 4.5 PERCENTAGE POINTS.)
Oct. 14-17 2015
Mostly conducting an objective investigation 23%
Mostly using the investigation to gain political advantage 72%
No opinion 5%

Yep. The Commitee members know that Clinton can't tell what she knows, and they're trying to take political advantage of it.

According to Business Insider:
Quote:
Stevens' last meeting on Sept. 11 was with Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin, and a source told Fox News that Stevens was in Benghazi "to negotiate a weapons transfer in an effort to get SA-7 missiles out of the hands of Libya-based extremists."

Since Stevens and his staff served as "diplomatic cover" for the CIA—only seven of more than 30 Americans evacuated from Benghazi worked for the State Department—the spy agency would certainly know about heavy weapons and Libyan jihadists flooding into Syria if Stevens did.

With the level of scrutiny Mrs Clinton is being subjected to in 8 consecutive inquisitions on the subject either there are no lies or the GOP are too incompetent to discover them.
IMO this new Benghazi inquisition has backfired for the GOP and has ended up in showing America just how tough (Presidential)Mrs Clinton is and just how petty and vindictive and the bully mentality of the GOP .

BENGHAZI UPDATE
The truth will come out. Some people are getting a little nervous and I understand why...
Gowdy is "breaking" new something .... but I think is called wind.

I don't watch FOX News.

Can Hillary account for:

Why she refused Ambassador Stevens' repeated request for more security assets? She can't shift the blame to Diplomatic Service or Bureaucratic infighting. The requests came directly to her.

Why Chris Stevens didn't choose to go to Benghazi on his own; he was directed to go?

Why she lied to avoid the question of why Stevens was meeting with a shipping company and a Turkish Diplomat in Benghazi?

Why should she account for any of those things? Is that going to tell us how to keep our diplomats safer? Because I thought that was what this was all about.

As Usual, i answered your question and you chose to ignore it and restate the exact same question as if I didnt.

Im not sure why the first question matters, and further more, I dont think any republican on the panel asked that question for that very reason.


Same response for the second question if it is even true.
