Today is a big milestone for the Democratic front runner, her hearing before the House Select Committee on Benghazi. The attack on the Benghazi consulate in Libya happened over 3 years ago on 9/11/12 (read the wiki for more).  After a number of other investigations  and reports have been issued from the FBI, the State Department, two Senate committees and five House Committees, in May 2014 the House decided to create yet one more committee...the one committee to rule them all...the Select committee. While there are more hearings and investigations to come, it really has all been leading up to this.

The hearing begins at 10AM EST and it is reported it will last all day (up to 8 hours).

You can watch a live stream of it
at the official committee site: https://benghazi.house.gov/hearings
on C-span 3:  http://www.c-span.org/

According to MSNBC...

I mean, basically it's a presidential debate at this point, since it's inherently political and not really about the minutia of the issue at hand. Should be a fun event!

I agree it's political, and it's stupid that some inept congressmen determined to use that as political capital against Clinton, regardless of what I really think of her.

So it'll basically be eight hours of free advertising for the Clinton campaign. How dumb are congressional Republicans?

Frank Luntz is in attendance

Don't worry, there is nothing political about this committee.

Hillary looks a lot better today than she did at the last testimony. Great hair and makeup!

A real winner!

Clinton used the classic "I don't know about this" excuse when she was asked about an email between two state department employees saying that Clinton didn't know we had a presence in Benghazi prior to the attacks.

How's she doing? I can't watch it live. Killing it, I'd assume?

Some fat Kansan is yelling at her while talking about random posters he's putting up.

Does he know Adam? DEEPLY DISTURBING.

They're talking about the video that the administration initially claimed the attack was a result of atm.

She's not bad, but it's not exactly the stellar performance she had at the debate.

"If I had to choose between Hillary and Obama, I would vote for Hillary"
 
- many Republicans in 2008

A classic warning to be careful what you wish for (even if it's not sincere).

The case against Hillary Clinton has imploded. She is calm and collected.

It is little wonder that the VP has just said that he isn't running.

God, Republicans are idiots. Where did they think this would go exactly? We'll take what we can get, I guess.

I have a feeling that those hearings will eventually derail Sid Blumenthal's presidential campaign.
