Something to hide? Hillary Clinton ‘turns down offer’ to testify during Benghazi hearings

So Hillary Clinton has something to hide? Maybe she hasn’t been able to wash off all the blood stains on her hand from Benghazi yet. She was ‘offered’ the chance to testify during the Benghazi hearings next week and she declined. Why would she decline if she had nothing to hide? She should be subpoenaed to testify, but I doubt the Republicans will grow a set and do that.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has turned down an invitation to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Committee next Thursday on the Benghazi attack.

A committee update this evening indicated that Michael Courts, acting director of International Affairs and Trade for the Government Accountability Office, will be testifying followed by a RAND Corp. analyst.

The committee indicated further witnesses could be added, but the State Department confirmed that Clinton won’t be one of them.

“She was asked to appear at House Foreign Affairs next week, and we have written back to the chairman to say that she’ll be on travel next week,” said department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. She did not answer a question about whether Clinton would be willing to fly back from Australia to address either the Foreign Affairs panel or the Senate and House closed-door intelligence committee hearings getting to the root of the Benghazi scandal.

“The Committee plans to hold the second segment of this hearing the week of November 26, 2012 and will request Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton testify before the Committee at that time,” the Foreign Affairs Committee said in an advisory.
