Well, I watched hours of the latest hearings, and I must confess, I don't get it.     The allegation seems to be that mistakes were made, someone got killed, and the administration tried to spin their way out of it.   So what's unusual about that, except for the fact that this time, Hillary Clinton was involved?  

 

I kept waiting for some sort of smoking gun that justified all the hullabaloo, but it never came.   All they succeeded in doing was to make her look presidential.  I have never liked Hillary Clinton, but after watching these hearings, I actually started to warm up to her. 

 

The Republicans asked their questions with such blatant contempt for the witness, I kept thinking, here it comes, they really have something now, but...  waiting.... waiting...  and?  Nothing. 

 

What did we find out that was new?   That Sidney Blumenthal is a friend of hers and has her email address and sends her a lot of stuff.   So what?
