WASHINGTON — Cheryl Mills, a longtime lawyer and adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton, testified before a Congressional committee on Thursday morning about Mrs. Clinton’s personal email account and the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

The panel took a lunch break at noon and the questioning continued shortly before 1 p.m.

As Ms. Mills was being interviewed behind closed doors, the panel’s top Democrat, Representative Elijah E. Cummings, called on the committee’s Republican chairman to release a copy of Ms. Mills’ testimony. She had asked to testify in public, but the Republicans rejected that request, saying they had conducted all of their interviews in private.


The entire public does not deserve to have leaks that are taken out of context, and leaving the wrong impression,” Mr. Cummings said to a group of reporters assembled near the interview.

1. Of course repugs want her to testify in private.

That way they can lie about what she says.

2. The republicans don't want run the risk of looking stupid in public.

but if they get her on some sort of gotcha, they can broadcast it to the world.

3. She's a Stanford educated lawyer and a life time public servant.

I doubt they could rattle her... This whole investigation has the distinct whiff or a star chamber.

6. I'm sure that you are correct about that.

It seems as if the only way to stop this endless investigation is to take back Congress from the Republicans.

4. The fact that Republicans are subpoenaing witnesses without consulting Democrats on the committee

and are refusing to allow public testimony speaks volumes about how politicized this is. Do you think the media will question their actions?

5. This is hugh!1!1!

Clinton's days are numbered.
Numbered I tell you!

7. Hurrah, Elijah!

Try to keep the 'Pubs honest, even though it's a hopeless task!

8. Elijah E. Cummings, called on the committee’s Republican chairman to release the testimony

The GOP have a long record of holding private hearings,
and then releasing bits and pieces out of context to make someone look bad.
