I've watched it All Day...I'm still Watching.......But the "Second Part" (Scheduled for "Prime Time where Hillary had to Repeat what she already Talked About earlier) seemed to fall into the RW Tea Party/Faux News views by the "Partisan Committee" that managed to get PRIME AIR TIME ..Without Commercials...to allow Hillary to Shine.AND NOW:
And as a Bernie Sanders Supporter I have to Defend Hillary on this "MARATHON" of Attacks Against Hillary all Set Up to "Run Up to Prime Time" to Trash Hillary in this House Hearing.
The Fact Remains....Why Did USA Support Libya Invasion? Only One Repug asked that Question.
I thought that the Whole Fiasco...(still ongoing as I am listening to the Audio) has been "Questionable" that it was such a Fiasco that Hillary Looked Incredibly Strong while the Repubs looked LIKE UNINFORMED IDIOTS!
Hillary had Done Very Well...and her Back Up Lawyer Team did their Work Well in Prepping and Defending as the Hearing went on.
It is still ongoing......And, I'm Still for Bernie and always Will Be...but, I thought our Dems did great job of Defending Hillary and it will work out well for her going forward, it would seem.
BUT.... she wasn't really confronted ENOUGH about "WHY DID WE INVADE LIBYA...with Our ALLIES...which does NEED further Investigation.
I'll Support Hillary on This...but, I thought the Whole Investigation was Orchestrated and that those Repubs really would LOVE another Clinton Administration and that was what this was about?
I'll give Hillary an "A" for her Performance and our Dem Reps the Same for this BOGUS HEARING...but, I have this feeling that Mainstream Repubs would be very happy with "Clinton Administration, Part 3!
Given that their Clown Car is Falling and Failing and they can't deal with a Trump/Carson Presidency and Bernie Sanders is Shoved Off while Hillary carries "THE MESSAGE" for the "Media Industrial, Corporate, Military, Wall Street, Anti Populist Empire Complex"that we on the "Dem Populist Left" have been working so hard against for so long.
I think we have a big Battle Ahead for 2016...but, I have a feeling that the Repubs are GOING to IMPLODE...long before Ignoring U.S. Destabilization of Libya, GOP Benghazi Hearing Asks Clinton All the Wrong Questions when they should have ASKED: Why did we and our Allies Invade and Destablilize Libya allowing the Carnage in the ME that Followed:

(45,806 posts)Talk about badgering the witness! "What parameters did your attorney's use to determine which emails to turn over and which were personal?" He repeated it SEVERAL TIMES before he let her answer. THEN he didn't like the answer he got! When Hillary told him that she didn't have tyhe detail and he HAD her attorney on the witness stand, he said "BUT she's not on the stand today, YOU ARE" I can only hope some of his constituents are watching his antics and vow NOT TO VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN!

But it really wouldn't be pertinent to this hearing. Then again, very little they are going on about is.

The Republicans and the corporate media never truly ask questions of cause and effect, it's all about soap opera or fake professional wrestling drama to assign blame, divide the people and push answers or solutions that are even more devastating than the questions and problems they were intended to solve.
No matter which side you're rooting for, so long as you're rooting over superficial bullshit, instead of using critical thinking to uncover inconvenient truths, the Deep State wins.
Thanks for the thread, KoKo.
