BENGHAZI HEARING - DISGUSTING DISPLAY

I have had the distinct displeasure of being able to listen / watch the Senate testimony of Hillary Clinton on the Benghazi fiasco this morning. No wonder Congress can't get anything done. I have never seen such a public display of mutual masturbation in my life. The committee chairman's opening statement was over 5 solid minutes of gushing ass kissing. Thank you Secretary Clinton for your sacrificial service to your country. Thank you Secretary Clinton for this, thank you Secretary Clinton for that. On and on for over 5 minutes. When that was finally over and an actual question posed, her opening statement was 3 minutes of praising the Chairman.
     Well, I thought, thank God that's over with let's get some answers now. Wrong. Every single Senator, Democrat and Republican alike, spent at least an entire minute, many much more than that, praising Clinton before they asked their question.
     And the questions? Bullshit. Every one of them for over an hour and 30 minutes. Finally then, John McCain asked the first hard question. Which was glossed over, redirected back at Congress, and never really answered. At the hour and 45 minute mark, Rand Paul was the only one who finally confronted her and asked a few of the questions that really need to be answered. And it was the same crap. Blame Congress for lack of funding. Outright lying when confronted by Paul. Claimed they had NO access to video camera footage until weeks after the attack, when those videos were available openly on the Internet only days later. Denied that assistance was denied. Contrary to many, many reports of air and ground support available within 45 minutes, claimed we had no assets in Africa. OK, that may or may not be a true statement. Carriers off the coast don't count apparently. Aviano in Italy, only an hour or so away for jets, doesn't count. Claimed she had no knowledge of weapons being shuttled to the Syrian rebels via Turkey out of Benghazi.  Denied, ignored, misdirected. That's what most of her answers did. Except for twice when she said "see the classified briefing". She did take responsibility for the fiasco, while at the same time saying she didn't know what was happening.
      Big deal, what's that mean? She's already on the way out, Kerry is going to replace her.  Oh, and by the way, over 4 months later, not one State Dept. employee has lost their job over this atrocity. 4 have been put on administrative leave. With full pay, of course.

Congress is AWOL, and on our dime.
Dumb Farmer.
