How Hillary Clinton Won the Benghazi Hearing

She avoided obvious missteps and defended her time at Foggy Bottom

In a marathon 11-hour hearing Thursday, Republican members of the Select Committee on Benghazi put Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State on trial before a national audience.

In three rounds of sharp-tongued questioning, House Republicans grilled Clinton on her advisors, her management of embassy security and her push for the U.S. military intervention in Libya. They questioned her management style, her transparency and even her public relations strategies.

The hearing began with an assurance from committee chair Trey Gowdy, a white-haired former prosecutor, that the questions would be focused on the 2012 attacks in Benghazi that led to the deaths of four Americans.
