unceasing defeat from the jaws of victory he and his political cronies in

0:05

the white house in Chicago all

0:07

say the least unenthusiastic about regime change in Libya Obama's lukewarm

0:14

and self contradicting statements have produced what is at least for the moment

0:18

operational paralysis I think that may give us a better understanding of why

0:24

the white house may have told you you cannot hire him

0:31

dog could not get hired by our government didn't pass any background

0:35

check at all had no role with our government had never been to Libya had

0:39

no works for teason Libya was critical of the President and others that you

0:43

worked with shared polling data with you on the intervention in Libya gave you

0:49

political advice on how to take credit for Libya all the while working for the

0:55

Clinton Foundation and some pseudo news entities and I'm secretary he had on

1:01

patterned access to you and use that access lisa one occasion ask you to

1:10

intervene on behalf of a business venture do you recall that you know

1:14

mister chairman if you don't have any friends who say unkind things privately

1:19

I congratulate you but from my perspective I'd like i dont rectum I

1:25

know I don't I don't know what this line of questioning does to help us get to

1:30

the bottom of the deaths of four Americans I'll be harder to help you

1:35

understand such terror I want to reiterate what I said to congresswoman

1:39

Sanchez's these were originally unsolicited you just said that perhaps

1:47

the main if not be exclusive author was a former intelligence agent for our

1:53

country rose to the highest levels of the CIA and who was given credit for

1:58

being one of the very few who pointed out that the intelligence used by the

2:03

Bush administration to go toward iraq was wrong

2:08

so I think that you know the sharing of information from an old friend that I

2:15

did not take at face value that I sent on to those who were experts is

2:22

something that makes sense but it was certainly not in any way the primary

2:29

source of or the predominant understanding that we had of what was

2:35

going on in Libya and what we needed to be doing a lot of time and we'll pick

2:40

this back up the next round but I'll go ahead and and let you know a time why

2:44

it's relevant it's relevant because our ambassador was asked to read and respond

2:50

to sidney blumenthal travel it was sent to him to read and react to in some

2:56

instances on the very same day he was asking for security so I think it is

3:01

eminently fair to ask why sidney blumenthal had unfettered access to you

3:07

madam secretary with whatever he wanted to talk about and there's not a single

3:11

solitary email to or from you to or from ambassador Stevens I think that is fair

3:18

and will join you sure chairman you made several inaccurate statements over the

3:28

past my house you have tried to defend against multiple Republican emissions

3:33

that the select committee has been wasting millions of tax dollars to

3:38

damage secretary Clinton's bid for president by Sunday made another

3:44

inaccurate statement during your opinions on face the nation is being

3:48

taken up here in his relevance here is what you said and I quote there are

3:53

other phones you may have

3:56

equities in her emails and there may be other entities who are evaluating their

4:02

emails but my interests mindless in them is solely met

4:08

that I get everything I meant I recruit so that I can do my job

4:12

the rest of it classification Clinton Foundation you name it I have zero

4:19

interest in it which is why you haven't seen me senate subpoena related to it

4:24

interview a single person I'm in Brian Eno because I need to know that the

4:31

record is complete

4:32

I'm going back to the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth I'm

4:35

waiting waiting waiting waiting on the city I'm getting here mister chairman

4:43

once I don't take long for many so over it so that everybody go over to you

4:50

mister very much you issued a subpoena to sidney blumenthal on May 19 2015

4:56

compared to appear for deposition on June 16 2015 you issued a subpoena to

5:03

unilaterally without giving the select committee members the opportunity to

5:08

debate or vote on it you said to our models to serve the subpoena on this is

5:13

booming the house wife at their home without having ever sent a request to

5:18

participate voluntarily which he would have done then mister jam and you

5:23

personally attended mr. Blumenthal's deposition you personally asked him

5:27

about the Clinton Foundation as you personally directed your staff to ask

5:32

questions about our Clinton the Clinton Foundation which they did more than 50

5:36

times now these facts directly contradict the statements you made on

5:42

national television don't know shirt with all due respect they do not where

5:46

we just heard email after email after email about Libya and Benghazi that

5:52

sidney blumenthal sent to the Secretary of State I don't care if he sent by

5:56

Morse code carrier pigeon smoke signals the fact that he happened to send it by

6:01

e-mail is irrelevant what is relevant is that he was sending information to the

6:06

secretary of state that is

6:09

relevant now with respect to the subpoena if you bothered to answer the

6:12

telephone calls
