Mike Malloy reviews Clinton's testimony at Benghazi hearings and wonders about that bunker next door
(Jan. 23, 2013, hour 1, segment 3, subtitled w/moving video) Mike Malloy plays excerpts (I included video from C-SPAN 3) of Sec. of State Hillary Clinton's testimony at the Senate Foreign Relations Cmte. Benghazi hearings, specifically her opening statement and exchange with Sen. Ron Johnson, including Clinton's "why does it matter at this point" at Johnson's persisting asking about why the CIA and administration initially explained that a demonstration was occurring near the consulate. Mike also wonders why the hearing never bothered to investigate the annex next door; the annex was used for interrogating some Gaddafi loyalists.
