Long awaited Hilary clintons Benghazi testimony serves her as a presidential platform

Democratic 2016 presidential front-runner and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s Benghazi testimony lasted for 11 hours in which she managed to defend herself against Republican attempts to blame her for the deaths of four diplomatic workers in Libya. This seems to be a turning point for her presidential elections.

Long awaited Hilary Clinton’s Benghazi testimony serves her as a presidential platform

Hillary Rodham Clinton seems to close the book on the worst episode of her tenure as secretary of state Thursday, battling hours of Republican questions in a hearing .Little new information was revealed in a hearing about the 2012 attacks in Benghazi Libya that went, with breaks, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. She firmly defended her record while seeking to avoid any mishap that might damage her presidential campaign.She handled the GOP’s questions unscathed and without the patina of partisanship that has characterized the committee since its conception. That would have been bad enough for the Republicans’ hopes of seizing the White House in 2017. But she did much more than that. She answered questions that Republicans have been hanging out there in hopes of sowing doubts among voters.

Conservative commentators were ashamed with the failure of the committee’s GOP lawmakers to land a single punch on Clinton. The worst thing she acknowledged was that Ambassador Chris Stevens didn’t go outside the chain of command to email her directly about what was happening in Libya. Strategically, the big error for the GOP is having entangled the email investigation with the Benghazi probe. Because the latter is tainted with partisanship, so, too, is the former. It was more of an embarrassment for Republicans and made Clinton look more presidential.
