U.S. House Benghazi panel grills Clinton aide for six hours

Source: Yahoo! News / Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Turmoil swirled again around the Republican-controlled Benghazi committee on Friday as it questioned a senior aide to Hillary Clinton, prompting fresh accusations that the panel was created to damage the Democratic front-runner's presidential campaign.

In a six-hour closed door interview, members and staff sought answers from Huma Abedin, for years a close confidante of Clinton. Abedin has served as the former secretary of state's assistant at the time of the 2012 attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans.

Democratic Representative and panel member Elijah Cummings told reporters that summoning Abedin raised more questions about whether the panel is "a taxpayer funded effort to derail the candidacy of Hillary Clinton."

Cummings said Abedin, now campaign vice chairwoman of Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, had no responsibilities related to the tragedy the committee was set up to investigate.

I would say that they should quit it.

But I'm also God, God damn it, so I know they won't.

If I were to head some Hillary campaign group, I would think this is a bonanza of good luck.

taxpayer-funded closed hearing. I'm just not inclined to believe any career politicians any more.

For all we know, they all drank vodka and watched porno movies the whole time.

Everything has been answered, so what do they have to ask that would take 6 hours? Do they ask 1 question over and over again hoping for a different answer?

Hillary has already agreed to testify, but after that that needs to be it.

Then, no more testimony from anybody in the administration, no more documents will be turned over, and the Democrats should stop attending the hearings and participating in any way.

She gave them a little taste of what they are going to get from Hillary and they are thinking it might be a good idea to close the doors of the kangaroo kourt.
