Hilary Misled Congress On Benghazi, But, SHE WAS NOT UNDER OATH


At this point, our whole fucking government is one big god damned scam.

From Breitbart:

Wednesday’s testimony on the Benghazi terror attacks by State Department whistleblowers before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform contradicted several statements by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in testimony before House and Senate committees in January. 
However, while Clinton may have misled Congress in her testimony, she likely did not commit perjury because she never actually testified under oath. 
Video recordings of Clinton’s Jan. 23 testimony before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee suggest that she was never sworn in. Breitbart News subsequently confirmed with staff on both committees that she did not take an oath to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,” as the three witnesses, all career civil servants, did Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee. 
A Senate aide confirmed to Breitbart News Thursday: “We checked with the committee and she wasn’t sworn in.” A House aide indicated that Clinton had not been sworn in, but added that “all witnesses testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, including Secretary Clinton, are under a legal obligation to tell the truth. Any misrepresentation to the Committee in the context of a review or investigation is a violation of law.”

Also shows that Hillary is an attorney -- or acting on the advice of an attorney.

But here's what puzzles me.... WHY was she not sworn in? She should be called back to testify -- under oath. Just as Condoleeza Rice was called back and sworn in back in 2004.

What good would it do, AOW.

Here's what she would say:

"I can not recall the specifics of the situation about which you are asking me."

over and over and over and over and over and over.

Pasto,
Plus, she has the brain injury excuse.

Pastorius said...

Yep.

And then, when she's elected, she will be our first Developmentally Disabled President.

But, there is this part:

Clinton had not been sworn in, but added that “all witnesses testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, including Secretary Clinton, are under a legal obligation to tell the truth. Any misrepresentation to the Committee in the context of a review or investigation is a violation of law.”

One of the team bloggers at my site left the following information:

Title 18, Part I, Chapter 47 US Code

§ 1001. Statements or entries generally

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—

(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or

(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;

Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.

Exactly. So whether she took the oath or not, she still broke the law.

Period. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it.
