Some initial observations from the testimony which I thought was very credible:

  1. The State Department at its highest levels refused protection of the Benghazi facility before the attacks - I can now understand why Hillary resigned when she did, to avoid resigning or being removed from office.
  2. The State Department knew within 24 hours of the attack that it was al Queda related and not a result of any video trailer.
  3. Hillary Clinton conspired with others in the State Department to lie about the real nature of the attack.  They intentionally modified the talking points and I suspect this will lead to the top of the State Department.  She lied about it and knew it was a lie.
  4. Hillary Clinton and her minions in the State Department tried to intimidate civil servants and intentionally obstruct the investigation by Congressional members.
  5. Hillary Clinton participated in a cover up of the truth about Benghazi.  She also perjured herself in her initial testimony to Congress and we now know why when pressed about the timeline she became so irate and screamed, "What difference does it make?!?!?"  Mrs. Clinton, it makes all the difference in the world.  You blatantly lied to the American people, you knew you lied and you cannot be trusted.
There will be more hearings on this and if it leads to the President he should resign from office.  This is way more serious than what drove Richard Nixon from office.  No one died as a result of Watergate.  And by the way, there were Democrats that also called for more hearings and they also called for the release of over 100 emails that the White House refuses to provide to Congress.  Those emails I believe will document the cover up.  Mark my words, much more is going to come out about this and I hope these hearing continue into 2014 because they need to have an impact on the elections.  This administration is filled with liars and murderers and they need to pay for their crimes, and that includes Hillary.  I will say it again, I now thoroughly understand why she resigned when she did.

Elijah Cummings is a disgrace.  The things he said at the hearing, especially telling witnesses that their job is to protect others in the State Department with their testimony and his dismissal of the deaths is a stain on the modern Democrat party.

Final observation, the govt media is a disgrace in their lack of coverage of this.  I had the misfortune to be in a public place that had CNN on and they spent more time on Chris Christie's stomach stapling than what is probably the most egregious scandal in the last 30 years.  Also, cBS is apparently harassing one of their own employees who is trying to find out the truth about what happened in Benghazi and what happened afterward.  Will they eventually give up being hacks and shills for Obama and Clinton?  I seriously doubt that and the low information voter will be denied the information they need to decide whether these people could be trusted as dog catcher, let alone the position they hold in government.

[Note to Archie:  The preceding was a rant.  I know you believe anytime someone types something you don't like it is a rant.  I hope you now can see the difference.]
