10/26/2015 2 Comments Are you celebrating or disappointed in the outcome of Hillary's testimony at the #Benghazi Committee?OpinionYou may be celebrating if you support Hillary. She appears to many to have won. Won what? You may be disappointed that she didn't break down in tears and confess. Confess what? Let's take a deep breath and think.
The hearings before the House Select Committee on Benghazi is not a trial. There is no jury. There won't be a verdict. Think of it more as a pretrial to determine if there is sufficient evidence to proceed with a trial. In the military, we would have likened it to an Article 32 (Uniform Code of Military Justice) Investigation to determine if a crime has been committed and if so who should be charged? Did you expect Hillary to trip up and blurt out something incriminating? Why would you think that? Hillary is an accomplished liar. She lied to herself about her husband's philandering for many years so that she wouldn't have to confront the ugly truth of her dysfunctional marriage. She lied as she was caught stealing the silverware and chinaware as she and Bill exited the White House. She lied in countless investigations to avoid being fined and punished for her complicity in the White Water and other scandals. Her tangled web of lies surrounding her mishandling of classified documents while Secretary of State is unraveling with every revelation. Did you seriously think she would confess like the culprit in an episode of the old Perry Mason Show? The time to deliberate over the testimony and hard evidence won't begin until the hearings end. Anyone leaping to conclusions at this point is driven by opinion rather than truth.

The hearing reminded me of Peggy Lee's old song: Is that all there is?

Actually, no, that's not all there is. There's much more to come. Actually, if I wanted to write courtroom drama I'd keep watching. Trey Gowdy is one helluva prosecutor. I can't help comparing his performance to the Watergate Committee that impeached Richard Nixon. Despite his apparent wrong doing, that committee only reached a verdict to impeach based on popular support. They were terrible prosecutors and never made their case
