If you were one, like me, privy to watching the live version of the eleven-hour Clinton show, carried out by Al Jazeera America T.V. channel, you probably noted -- like I did -- that the similarities between the Clinton hearings and the renowned Greatest Show on Earth were not just confined to the name alone, but also to the staged production of the show itself as well. So far as I am concerned, the Clinton extravaganza -- just like Barnum and Bailey event -- featured a three-ring circus. At center stage of it all, who else but our Madam Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton herself. The other two rings, notably filled with inquiring congressman and congresswomen from both sides of the aisle.
What I saw yesterday was no more, no less exactly what I had expected to see going into the hearings. What I saw was a seasoned liar, infinitely better prepared this time around to answer a battery of poignant questions posed by a panel of frustrated republicans whose ultimate objective was that of getting to the truth on why had four noble Americans, to wit: Ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens; U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith; and CIA contractors, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty lost their lives on that doleful day of September 11th, 2012, the victims of a savage attack by Islamic animals who invaded the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.
Mind you, a quest for the truth which had been greatly diminished as Clinton and her liberal-democratic machinery of well-trained cronies had ably manipulated the issues, such as to lead the world into believing that the republicans' objective in seeking such truth was all but an expediently politicized agenda exclusively aimed at undermining Clinton’s chances of becoming our next president in the 2016 elections. And, to the best of my knowledge, they [the Clintonian liberal machinery] pretty much succeeded in conveying that perception to a naïve universe of unsuspecting Americans, many of whom did not even know what the word Benghazi meant or what the Benghazi affair was all about – a byproduct, if you will, of the rampant apathy, lethargy, and indifference, now prevalent amongst mainstream Americans and a great majority of the nation’s uninformed voting universe – a universe now decidedly targeted by a liberal democrat ensemble with clear hopes of winning this sectoral population to voting for their ticket, again, biasedly presuming the group’s vulnerability to buy anything sold to them, mostly as a byproduct of their political or otherwise complete ignorance of the current events taking place in our nation.
In any event, in case you missed the hearings, I will say you did not miss much, except -- just as I had predicted -- ‘more-of-the-same’. In fact, I could easily abridge the eleven hours of the hearing with but a few narratives, the essence of which would pretty much tell the whole story, barring a few, but very few moments of the exhilaration we had all hoped for. In a nutshell you had -- like I mentioned before -- three basic acts to the melodrama. There was, of course, the testifying witness, Hillary Clinton. All in all, I got to say the con artist did once again what she does best, that is, she sailed through a grueling marathon of piteous questions. It seemed to me that all of Clinton’s years of lying and Ponzi schemes first learned from her political mentor Saul Alinsky were finally paying off; not to mention her close association to forever partner-in-crime, corrupt husband Bill, as they, together, have mastered the art of allegedly getting away with murder. I have to say it, credit where credit is due notwithstanding, my everlasting repulsion for both these characters; the woman [Hillary], much like husband Bill, are two of the most adept political rats I have ever seen in my lifetime.
It was clear to me, ever since the very beginning of yesterday’s interrogation proceedings, that all the time elapsed since Clinton’s first testimony before Congress on the Benghazi investigation, given on January 23rd, 2013, had been well spent in enhancing with magnanimous perfection the answers provided to the rhetorical questionnaire posed to her by the investigating Committee, including but not limited to her masterful manipulation of her demeanor or otherwise composure, as she, for the most part, remained stoically untethered to the questions, unlike her first go-round where she lost her poise while making the unsavory comment of "What difference, at this point, does it make?" in response to questions about why the Benghazi attack occurred and how the controversial talking points were created.
At the end of the day, yesterday’s testimony was, again, more of the same – a mere extension of the first round, if yet with an added concoction of denials, at times even making Clinton an incredibly credible witness. Once again, the rat detached herself from the role she played in the massacre as having no responsibility whatsoever for the events that had transpired, including the politically expedient cover-up, linking the blame of the Benghazi massacre to the infamous anti-Islamic video, all the while as an email, introduced at the hearings proved that Clinton had informed daughter Chelsea and husband Bill of the attack hours after it happened, notwithstanding the fact that, only a while later, the nation was told otherwise – a part of the Obama administration’s conspiracy aimed at downplaying the Libya tragedy in lieu of the collateral damage that could ensue to Obama’s presidential re-election campaign of 2012.
All told, Clinton again decried her responsibilities for anything leading to the death of the four fallen heroes, while ultimately blaming Ambassador Stevens himself for his ill-fated demise, never mind that there were over 600 requests made by the late Ambassador calling for improved security to the compound. In addition, Clinton’s testimony focused on building a smoke curtain, specifically designed to blaming everyone except herself, while she repeatedly accused and held responsible our nation’s security personnel for whatever happened that fateful day in Benghazi. The fact that many of those who she held responsible were in fact under the direct command and presumed leadership of our Madam Secretary of State apparently did not matter much to Clinton, as did not the fact that none of the so-called responsible personnel were ever brought to justice.
Notably, all of Clinton’s answers throughout the day had swiftly turned into lengthy soft-spoken speeches, masterfully delivered to exonerate herself from any culpability whatsoever, while the patient panel of inquirers had no other choice but to respectfully wait for Secretary Clinton to finish her well-rehearsed discourses.
In the next ring of the circus, there was that coalition of democrats, led by the ranking member from Maryland, Elijah Cummings, together with Adam Smith from Washington D.C., Adam Schiff and Linda Sanchez from California and Tammy Duckworth from Illinois. Suffice it say that the liberal-democratic panel did just about everything but ask questions of the witness. For all practical purposes, congressmen Cummings and Schiff, led the pack as though the hearings were a political-action group set out to protect and stoutly defend the accused of any purported wrongdoings in the Benghazi affair. Most of the time allowed the democratic congressmen and congresswomen to question the witness, was otherwise spent, like I said earlier, not questioning the witness but using their opportunity to speak to embody the role of defense attorneys, making closing arguments on behalf of the accused. Disgustingly pitiful, and mindfully boring at times.
Last, but not least, there was the republican ring, led by the Committee Chairman from South Carolina, Trey Gowdy, together with Susan Brooks from Indiana; Jim Jordan from Ohio; Mike Pompeo from Kansas; Martha Roby from Alabama; Per Roskam from Illinois; and Georgia’s Lynn Westmoreland. Here, too, more of the same, I guess. While Chairman Gowdy, a renowned prosecutor, was expected to take a leading role in the interrogation, it was obvious from the very beginnings of the proceedings that such leading role had been tempered by: 1) his role as Chair of the event, coupled with 2) an obvious struggle to refrain from any such tactics that could lead people to believing he was badgering the witness – that in response to the aura of protective deception surrounding the hearings, namely one meant to sway public opinion into believing the procedures were all but a conservative plot designed to undermine Clinton’s presidential hopes.
In my view the rest of the inquirers did their part while some, like Ohio’s congressman Jim Jordan, led the battle while coming just short of calling the Madam Secretary a cheat and a liar in her face on public T.V. –a point in time, the closest we ever came in the hearings to having Clinton lose her composure.
All told, yes, the Benghazi hearing was boringly disappointing if yet, all to be expected. As I have said many times in the past, our presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, in spite of the disgusting role and responsibility she shares for everything that happened in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11th, 2012, including but not limited to the death of four noble Americans at the hands of Islamic militant animals is now history, presumably; also as expected, with no lasting consequences whatsoever to this conniving politician, whose self-serving ambition, as shown all throughout her political career, along with that of husband Bill, are but a testament to the adage that, “the end, justify the means”. I knew coming in that our Teflon lady would come out of this Benghazi investigation, if anything, unscathed. What else is new? Did anyone out there, for a single moment, think otherwise? How could you? The Clinton / Benghazi affair, is just part of a legacy of corruption and deceit within a corrupt administration led by a corrupt president named Barack Hussein Obama – an administration where shadiness and dishonesty are all but ideal breeding grounds for cheats such as the Clintons to prosper and flourish.
I say kudos to all our republican panel on the investigating committee, for trying so hard to bring the truth out to all Americans. You fought a hard battle to meet your objective, but your battle was lost even before you waged it. The enemy -- America’s enemy -- is not just an individual; our enemy is a culture, one shared by many who have been led astray by impostors such as the now president of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama. You have not, congressmen, lost it all; however, as well the battle may have been lost, the war was not. While this hearing may have seemed inconsequential to many, in the end, I know many good Americans -- a great majority of us -- have, through your efforts, seen the dangers ahead and have been forewarned of the evils now looming America’s horizons were we to make the mistake of electing this rat as our next president.
Americans overall are much smarter than what democrats given them credit for. Through these hearings, Americans were able -- I am sure -- to see through Clinton’s smoke curtains, through her pathological lies, through her capricious mishandling of secure government information by the use of a private server to conduct government business through a history of deception dating back to Whitewater, all the way to a phony foundation, exclusively designed for the enrichment of the presidential candidate and her husband. I personally want to thank the investigating committee, especially Trey Gowdy, for trying so hard. As well as I urge every American to take a very hard look at this Clinton woman. I urge you to look real hard at all we could be in for, were we to elect this woman as our next president. Her continued smirks are testament to her confidence in that her lies are being believed by many Americans, while you and I know better – as we all know, in no uncertain terms, that Hillary Clinton is no more and no less than a three-ring circus; the one circus, unlike Barnum and Bailey’s, we never want to be a part of. God bless you and God bless America.
For most children born in the U.S. in the late 1900s, growing up came with a deep-seated tradition of going to the circus – a spectacle that has delighted the young and the old alike for many years. Starting in 1919, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus merged to become an integral part of our folklore. Little did owners James Anthony Bailey and P.T. Barnum realize back in the day that their extravaganza presentation, billed as ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’, could just as well have been used to describe our own modern-day version of a spectacle, such as the one that was seen during Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi investigation conducted on Tuesday, October 22nd, by the Select Committee on Benghazi.
