Listing Hillary’s Benghazi lies
Hillary Clinton knew she would have to lie in Thursday’s Benghazi testimony. It would have been almost impossible for her to sit through a barrage of meticulously tailored questions for that many hours and emerge with her day’s allotment of honesty intact.
So there were lies — no surprise. But what stood out?
Ben Shapiro at Breitbart compiled a top-five of Clinton’s biggest whoppers while she was under oath Thursday. His choice for the biggest (or perhaps the most harmful) lie? Clinton’s characterization of dead ambassador Christopher Stevens, whom she attempted to blame for his own murder.
Did you watch all 10-plus hours of Thursday’s political theater? If so, did anything Clinton say change your views of her role in the Benghazi terror attack — or in any of the other scandals to which her name is attached?
Here are some of Shapiro’s highlights, but he goes into plenty more detail at the link:
Hillary Cared Deeply About the Human Cost.Hillary kept claiming that she cared deeply about her good friend Chris Stevens. At one point, she whipped out her pre-planned righteous indignation to complain, “I would imagine I’ve thought more about what happened than all of you put together. I’ve lost more sleep than all of you put together.” This was salt in the wound……Hillary Thought The Attacks Had Something to Do With a YouTube Video.Hillary maintained on Thursday that she believed the attack still had something to do with the YouTube video, “The Innocence of Muslims.” But the night of the attack, she emailed Chelsea Clinton and told her that an al-Qaeda-like group had killed the ambassador.…Hillary Didn’t Use Sidney Blumenthal As an Advisor.Hillary Clinton had reams of email exchanges with hitman Sidney Blumenthal. Blumenthal had been banned from the Obama administration for his corruption and Clintonian loyalties. Hillary said that the emails were unsolicited. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) shot that idiocy down easily: “You wrote to him, ‘Thanks and please keep them coming,’ ‘Greetings from Kabul and thanks for keeping this stuff coming, any other info about it?’ ‘What are you hearing now?’”…Hillary Was Transparent About Her Emails.Hillary insisted again on Thursday that she’d been fully transparent about her emails. Even the State Department has rejected that nonsense repeatedly.…Chris Stevens Was Responsible for His Own Death.The most despicable lie of the day came from Hillary’s defense of her own conduct via ripping Chris Stevens, the dead ambassador.… Then, the capper: Hillary said that when Stevens wrote an email asking about whether the Benghazi compound would be closed, he was just being a sly jokester.
