Hillary

Well, I wondered what it was going to be.  And it will be a non-event.  A blip.  It may be dredged up in the general election during debates or in ads, but not much will come of it.  Many are voicing admiration for her performance.  That she withstood hours and hours of grilling that was nothing but partisan.  That she didn't lose her temper.  That she appeared sad and sorry about the events in Benghazi.  The Dems are generally jubilant.  As I said in my previous post, the path to the coronation seems secure.  

I did a little turn around the Internet to the usual sites, both conservative and liberal.  As predicted, the conservatives are holding to their story of lies and incompetent management.   What many are pissed about is the whole smarmy "inside baseball" dimension to it.  This Blumenthal slime.  The small circle of protectors.  That the people on the inside are oh so smart and can't be bothered to tell the truth.  The inconvenient truth!  But that is the Clintons.  The libs are saying it was a witch hunt...much ado about nothing.  Opinions abound.  But like I said, this event is over and we'll move on.  The media won't report on it after this weekend except to note it as an event.  They will continue to promote her coronation.  

The people who are indignant over her actions, were probably never going to vote for her anyway.  These are the Clinton haters who would never come around.  So the outrage will still be there in some quarters, but it will fall on deaf ears.  

But here's the deal.  There are two things that cannot be denied.  They can be ignored...but they can't be denied.  First is that there were Americans in very bad circumstances in a very bad place who repeatedly asked for help and were denied or ignored.   And this is at the Ambassadorial level.  This happened in her State Department.  The result was the death of 4 brave Americans.  Second is that she knew almost immediately that it was a deliberate attack by terrorists on an American facility.  In fact we know she told that to people, including her daughter, in emails.  And then she came out and went along with the bald-faced lies about some video sparking the assault.  She pressed that narrative.  She was silent during the days when Susan Rice and others lied to the American people on every network.  

So like I said...we're moving on.  But whatever your ideology, whatever party you support, wherever your prejudices lie...if you step back and look at this as an American, ask yourself if you want someone who clearly did not care about the plight of Americans in a very bad place and when it went down sideways, decided to support the lies to cover Obama's butt rather than tell the truth, as our next President.
