Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: Questions for Hillary Clinton At long last, Hillary Clinton testifies on the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, and her emails as secretary of state. Here are some suggested questions. Although these suggestions are based on the public record, we need to assume that the members of the House Benghazi Committee have seen far more than the public has. I have framed the questions in traditional cross-examination style, though I doubt that the politicians on the committee will have the self- discipline to adhere to it. The theory of cross-examination particularly of a high-profile, intelligent, belligerent or ruthless witness is for the questioner to tell a story by asking questions that suggest answers that challenge the witnesss version of events or impeach the witnesss credibility. The questioners version of events must be based on credible evidence. In a courtroom, the questioners audience for his version of the events is the jury. In a congressional hearing, the audience is the American people. I have publicly advised members of Congress that they should not ask any questions of Clinton; instead, they should have a prominent attorney who is her equal in intellect and knowledge of the law yet is a fierce, experienced cross- examiner do so. But the lure of TV cameras will probably cause the committee members to reject my advice. As well, some of the committee members are lawyers, and the committees chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, is a former federal prosecutor. Anyway, here goes
Mrs. Clinton, when you first became secretary of state, you were briefed on the proper use of emails, right? And you were informed of your obligation to preserve all governmental records that came into your possession and not destroy any of them, right? And you also were briefed on the proper handling of classified materials, werent you? In fact, Mrs. Clinton, you were presented with a written government oath that every federal employee who handles classified materials receives and must sign, correct? Isnt it also true, Mrs. Clinton, that you never signed that oath? Didnt you pay a State Department employee not an outside vendor to install a private email server in your home in New York? And when you did that, you knew the practical effect of it would be to divert all your emails governmental and personal away from the government, right? And you used, did you not, that email system your employee in the State Department installed in your home as your exclusive email source during your tenure as secretary of state? And that email system was directly connected to the Internet, right? Isnt it true that you received and sent emails on your personal system that included satellite photos of foreign surveillance; intercepts of telephonic and email communications of foreign agents; travel plans of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, who was killed in the Benghazi attacks; and the true name of a CIA agent operating under deep cover in the Middle East? Isnt it true that you were probably too busy to read all the emails you received before storing them or sending them on to others? Isnt it true that you treated all emails alike, whether they contained delicate or personal information or not? Mrs. Clinton, havent you stated a few dozen times that you never sent or received emails marked classified? Now, Mrs. Clinton, you were the countrys chief diplomat for four years, right? Dont you know that nothing is marked classified that the national security markings are confidential, secret and top secret? Mrs. Clinton, isnt it true that you asked President Obama to let you hire your friend and colleague Sidney Blumenthal as a special assistant to you in the State Department? Isnt it true that the president declined your request? Didnt you then have your familys foundation hire Mr. Blumenthal, and didnt you then treat him as your assistant without telling the president? Mrs. Clinton, didnt you communicate with Mr. Blumenthal about political and national security matters on a regular and consistent and often-daily basis? Didnt he provide you with confidential information from his own sources? Didnt you pass confidential information on to him? Mrs. Clinton, you knew that the war you were waging against Moammar Gadhafi was causing great instability in Libya, right? And you knew that instability had led to the need for private security firms to protect Libyans and Americans in Libya, correct? And didnt you also know that your friend and confidant Mr. Blumenthal had a financial interest in one of those firms while he was advising you? You didnt see anything illegal about an employee of your familys foundations receiving secret data from you while he was advising you and trying to get business for his security firm in Libya, did you? Mrs. Clinton, isnt it true that you put the travel plans of Ambassador Stevens onto nongovernmental Internet venues? Isnt it true that at the time you did that, he asked you for more security in Libya and you did not provide it? Mrs. Clinton, isnt it true that to fight your secret war against the government of Gadhafi, you sent American arms into the hands of his opponents? And you did this without a congressional declaration of war, right? Didnt you know that many of Gadhafis opponents were al-Qaida operatives, who are Americas sworn enemies? Werent you reckless in getting arms to them? Didnt you realize that you were arming the very people against whom your ambassador was seeking more protection? Mrs. Clinton, do you know it is a felony to provide arms to terrorist organizations? Do you know that Ambassador Stevens was murdered by al-Qaida operatives using American arms and American bullets? Mrs. Clinton, do you think anyone but the most hardened Democrats and your husbands old friends could trust you in public office? Reprinted with the authors permission.
