Congresswoman - Blue Mountain Security Guards and the Libyan milita forces...they were unqualified...I want to hold people accountable...so this never happens again...many dollars of the American people...LPTA vehicle should have raised red flags in Congress...I don't know that lowest price tag is advisable. Why did the State Department..."

Hillary Clinton - "I agree...flexibility in decision making..." 

Now, this is important. 

Here is the real purpose on FOX. 60% of their viewers state Hillary Clinton has not been honest.  

Congresswoman - "...Libya did not allow security officers carry guns..." 

Hillary Clinton - The militia members were, but, the static guards did not....Host nation gets to call alot of the shots under international conventions....where unable to do so...Libya did not have capacity...we have to work hard to get what we need..."

Congresswoman - "How many recommendations of Admiral Mullens were instated?"

Hillary Clinton - "All of them..." 

The point Hillary Clinton made about the Benghazi consulate was 'the fog of war.' That isn't carried through in the definitions by the committee. What is really in question is the idea 'Is it possible to better secure High Threat embassies and consulates?'

I think the point needs to be clarified. For all the good intentions of the Benghazi investigation including that of Admiral Mullens there is a question about a contingency being ENOUGH to ward off an attack. How large a contingency? 

I don't find the Benghazi investigation worthless, not at all. I hope it is the answer, but, the idea a contingency can be defeated anyway is a possibility. That can't be overlooked. 

3:39 PM

Congressman - "...timeline...it was put together explicitly for a an article in the Washington Post. Jake Sullivan was involved and that is the understanding of the staff as well....Clinton started to see her way forward...Clinton asked President Obama to grant the rebels full authority...isn't true you were trying to achieve political gains on this?" I assume it is the article in the Washington Post.

The article was written in regard to an interview. 

"Martha Vineyard...before the French take all the credit regarding Libya...finish reading Jake's memo..." "STATE of mind..." OMG this is a political committee. They aren't interested in facts.  Do we have a mind reader on the committee? We need a mind reader. There obviously needs to be another committee, but, they need to have a mind reader in the room.

Congressman "You were interested in making it the issue of the day...After Gaddafi goes...two months before the end of the Gaddafi regime you were making plans to exploit it for other purposes."  "Your staff herd from the White House that she was taking more credit than he."  When Jake Sullivan emails you ... it was an interest in the Clinton Doctrine." 

She talks about smart power "...and that is her belief. The Libyan policy was her baby?" ...it was smart power, wasn't that right? I guess she doesn't think so. She states decisions are made by the President. Oh, she just cited the Clinton Doctrine and here we go with opticals for political commercials. She's getting it now. "Congressman that is a political statement..."

3:51 PM recess for voting in the House

The statement being "her baby" is inappropriate. Are we in a bar somewhere? Did I miss something? 

There was a vote in the Senate earlier.

A vote of 83-14 to end debate (click here) on a bundle of amendments to the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) went through the Senate on Thursday. The controversial bill would provide incentives for companies to share user data with the federal government.

Gender discriminatory attitude on FOX stating she was using body language to telegraph the politics during her testimony. It is being treated as entertainment. The committee isn't suppose to be entertaining anything except the business of the country.
