Ventrell: Secretary Clinton “has committed to being fully transparent with the Congress”
First it was a reported stomach virus that caused Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to forego a planned overseas trip to North Africa and the Persian Gulf.
Most recently, she fainted and has been diagnosed with a concussion suffered in the accompanying fall, causing her to work from home in the coming week.
It’s clearly a matter of whatever it takes to keep her from testifying as scheduled at the congressional hearings coming up on Thursday into the September 11, 2012 attack against a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans were assassinated, including U.S. ambassador, Christopher Stevens. The ensuing shameful Obama administration cover-up is being investigated.
During Friday’s daily press briefing, Patrick Ventrell, acting deputy spokesperson, danced around the issue of Clinton’s upcoming testimony, claiming she “has committed to being fully transparent with the Congress.”
But the House Foreign Affairs Committee says Clinton would no longer give scheduled testimony at its hearing on Libya. She will be replaced by two Senior State Department officials.
Her aides informed senate committee chairman, John Kerry about her ill health, and his deep concern for her was evident as he “insisted that given her condition, she could not and should not appear” as planned. Radical leftist Kerry is expected to be nominated by Obama to succeed Clinton. And already Arizona’s infamous aisle-crossing “maverick” John McCain has taken to sycophantically addressing him as “Mr. Secretary.”
It’s too bad Hillary’s opting out of this opportunity to do a reprise of the defense she used ad infinitum regarding her involvement in the Whitewater scandal. Those missing files from her years at the Rose Law firm, that mysteriously turned up in the same White House where she and Slick Willy were residing, also created a problematic predicament for Hillary. She “solved” it by repeatedly testifying, “I’m sorry, I don’t remember.”
It’s worth reviewing the highlights of the Obama administration’s misinformation campaign intended to distract the American people from the truth of the September 11, 2012 embassy massacre.
The Clinton’s have always managed political “miracles,” turning lousy situations into a strategic move forward.
I was waiting to hear that at 65, the old dame was preggers! Another modern marvel befitting this practiced liar.
Traitorous John Kerry as Secretary of State is Obama sticking his finger in the eye of our heroic American military. And John McCain sucking up to him is despicable, but expected.
No one wants to even speak about the potential illegitimacy of the current president, and any notion of truth is non-existent. This administration and its allies contort any word to suit their purpose. I just do not care any more, as there is no way to fix it. There are too many “low information” citizens.
Everything is upside-down. This morning it is announced that the TIME Magazine Person of the Year will be “Undocumented Americans”. Whatever the Dems do or say, no matter how vile, seems to be OK. We have no leadership. Only Liars.
Please pray.
Correction: “Undocumented Americans” are on the “short list” of possibilities, which include Hillary & Bill Clinton; the president of Egypt, and BHO.
They are all in the same boat—-a ship of fools.
As usual, SRAZ is on top of the issues!! Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton is now saying there’s a good chance Hillary Clinton fabricated what he termed a “diplomatic illness” in order to dodge scheduled testimony this week on the embassy attack in Libya.
I was watching FOX News and heard him say “every foreign service officer in every foreign ministry in the world” is familiar with coming up with such “diplomatic illnesses” when they “don’t want to go to a meeting or a conference or an event.”
He then called it “the diplomatic illness to beat the band !” referencng Clinton’s fainting and suffering a concussion over the weekend after previously claiming to be battling a stomach virus.
I had to laugh, remembering a former co-worker who used the “stomach virus” (diarrhea) bit routinely. She called it fool proof, since no one could actually tell if that was truth or not.
