Clinton expected to testify on Benghazi attack in two weeks, sources say

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to testify about the terror attack in Benghazi, Libya, before the House and Senate when both chambers are back in session the week of Jan. 21, sources said Tuesday.

“My sense is, her hearing probably will take place the morning of the 22nd,” the incoming ranking member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday. Corker said he had had “some very good conversations with her chief of staff” and that Clinton appeared “anxious to want to come up and testify on Benghazi.”

Clinton was scheduled to appear before the House and Senate Foreign Affairs panels last month but sent her deputies instead after falling ill. Republicans have accused her State Department of failing to adequate provide for security at the U.S. mission in Benghazi prior to the Sept. 11 attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland confirmed during her press briefing that Clinton is expected to appear before both chambers before the confirmation hearing for her replacement, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), takes place. Nuland said no date has been set yet, but she pointed out that the two chambers won't both be back in before President Obama's Jan. 21 inauguration.

“The goal on our side is we would have the secretary able to testify as she's promised to do while she's still sitting secretary but also have the confirmation hearing as quickly as appropriate after they come back,” she said. “The expectation is that she would be prepared to testify in both the House and the Senate, so we have to work out appropriate timing in both places.”

Retired Admiral Makes Stunning Accusation. Benghazi-Gate Is The Treasonous And Impeachable Criminal Enterprise That Can Bring Barack Obama Down.   It’s even worse that we previously thought. A retired four-star admiral is now claiming that Barack Obama intentionally conspired with America’s enemies to stage a bogus attack and the kidnapping of an American ambassador so he could “negotiate” the release of a“hostage” and bolster his mediocre approval ratings just prior to the election? The Washington Examiner, quoting retired Four-Star Admiral James Lyons, writes: “[T]he attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi… was the result of a bungled abduction attempt…. the first stage of an international prisoner exchange… [that] would have ensured the release of Omar Abdel Rahman, the ‘Blind Sheik’…” But something went horribly wrong with Obama’s “October Surprise.” Although the Obama Regime intentionally gutted security at the consulate prior to the staged kidnapping, former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty disobeyed direct orders to stand down, saved American lives, single-handedly killed scores of attackers…and the attackers, believing that the Obama Regime had betrayed them, tortured Ambassador Chris Stevens and dragged his body through the streets. Make no mistake; Benghazi-Gate is the criminal enterprise that will bring the Obama Regime down, but that won’t happen if Congress helps Barack Obama sweep this criminal conspiracy under the rug. We must demand answers… we must demand action… and we mustn’t stop until Congress uncovers the truth and removes the Usurper-in-Chief from office. Make No Mistake: Lyons Is Only Scratching The Surface.   Some will say that Admiral Lyons’ accusation is not a smoking gun. We agree, that’sEXACTLY why Congress MUST investigate Benghazi-gate. MOREOVER, we firmly believe the problem with Admiral Lyons’ assertion is that he is ONLY SCRATCHING THE SURFACE… the full and complete truth is much, much worse. Benghazi-gate is NOT about a bogus YouTube video series of lies. It’s NOT about Obama Regime foreign policy ineptitude. We are dealing with something much more sinister… something potentially treasonous… and the following questions, posed in an article in The New American, go to the heart of the matter. • What was the Obama administration’s full role in helping violent Jihadists, self-styled al Qaeda terrorists, and Western-backed “revolutionaries” take over Libya in the first place? • Did that half-baked scheme to arm Jihadist leaders, who… had previously fought U.S. troops in Iraq, contribute to the attack, as countless experts and officials have suggested? • What was actually going on at the compound in Benghazi, which as the report states, was never a “consulate” despite establishment media claims? • Was Ambassador Stevens recruiting and arming Jihadists and terrorists to wage war on the Syrian regime after what Obama called the “success” in Libya, as a growing body of credible evidence suggests? • Why did the administration claim for so long that the attack was just a “protest” over a YouTube video gone awry, even when it knew definitively that was not the case? • Was the lack of security at the compound a political ploy to conceal the extent of the lawlessness and utter chaos left in the wake of Obama’s unconstitutional “regime change” war on Libya, as even members of Congress have alleged? It’s clear. Benghazi-Gate is only a small piece of a much larger criminal enterprise… an attempt to conceal what The New American calls; “the Obama administration’s full role in helping violent Jihadists [and] self-styled al Qaeda terrorists.” And treason is an impeachable offense. Congress has the power and constitutional authority to get to the bottom of this mess… and we’re going to see to it that they do their constitutional duty. The Election Is Over And Congress Has Run Out Of Excuses For Delays.   Prior to the election Barack Obama continually told us that “Osama bin-Laden is dead and GM is alive,” but the sad truth is that Osama bin-Laden’s organization is alive and well and the Obama Regime may be giving aid and comfort to this terrorist network. And prior to the election, Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera pontificated that Republicans shouldn’t“politicize” Benghazi-gate. Swaggering onto the set of Fox and Friends Rivera bloviated: “I think we have to stop this politicizing” and Rivera issued the following veiled warning to Republicans: “Do we want to try and influence the election with a tragedy that happened in North Africa?” Ironic, isn’t it? Barack Obama played politics with the lives of Americans and Obama drones, like Rivera, in the media covered Obama’s rear and threatened to accuse anyone and everyone who mentioned it of “playing politics.” And weak-willed Republicans apparently took Rivera’s threat to heart as Rivera also said that Republican Senators John Barrasso, James Inhofe and Bob Corker, who all sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee “all agree that the supercharged atmosphere around the story – prudence dictates that these hearings be postponed until” after the election. Well, the election has come and gone. Congress has no excuse. The American people needed the truth BEFORE the election… NOW… we’re demanding it. Americans are dead. Are more lives in jeopardy? Did Barack Obama lie to cover up foreign policy ineptitude or did he lie to cover up something much worse? Is our own government actually conspiring with America’s enemies? The American people deserve to have those questions answered and moreover the American people deserve justice.
