Wash Times EDITORIAL: Hillary Clinton's Benghazi Testimony Threatens Presidential Campaign
 |
| AP |
“The Clintons” is the longest-running soap opera in American politics. Bill and Hillary have seemed to be immune from the accountability demanded of others. Perhaps they’re protected by scandal because scandal is what everyone expects from them. This defense will be put to the test when a judgment day, such as it may be, arrives the week of May 18 and she will be asked to answer questions from Congress about what happened at Benghazi, and her part in organizing the American response.
She will be asked to explain why she deleted thousands of official State Department emails as well, since critical information about Benghazi may have disappeared in her electronic purge. If she tells Congress, and the nation, that they’ll just have to take her word that everything was kosher, she will put her presidential aspirations at risk.
Mrs. Clinton has been the focus of congressional scrutiny because four Americans were killed when Islamic terrorists attacked the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012. She was their boss, responsible for their safety. Congress has been trying to get answers since, and the best that she has provided is a remarkable outburst at a Senate hearing in 2013: “What difference, at this point, does it make?” This outburst, cold and insensitive, will be her legacy unless she comes up with something better.
