During CNN interview Hillary Clinton lied about not being subpoenaed by the Benghazi Committee

July 8, 2015

 Hillary Clinton was interviewed by CNN last Tuesday and when she was asked about the possibility she destroyed State Department emails while they were under subpoena she told Brianna Keilar to “take a deep breath” and then went to on claim, “I never had a subpoena.”

  However that is a lie pure and simple and today Trey Gowdy released the subpoena to the public, which can be seen here, and had this to say about the situation:

The House Select Committee on Benghazi today released its March 4, 2015, subpoena to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in response to her inaccurate claim she had not been subpoenaed. The committee subpoenaed Clinton directly after it became aware of her exclusive use of personal email and a server and that the State Department was not the custodian of Clinton’s official record. The State Department failed to reveal this essential information to the Benghazi Committee or any other investigation into the Benghazi terrorist attacks until days before a media outlet was going to publish the information, meaning no investigation prior to the Benghazi Committee’s had access to the Secretary of State’s communications as part of its review. 

“The committee has issued several subpoenas, but I have not sought to make them public,” said committee Chairman Trey Gowdy. “I would not make this one public now, but after Secretary Clinton falsely claimed the committee did not subpoena her, I have no choice in order to correct the inaccuracy. The committee immediately subpoenaed Clinton personally after learning the full extent of her unusual email arrangement with herself, and would have done so earlier if the State Department or Clinton had been forthcoming that State did not maintain custody of her records and only Secretary Clinton herself had her records when Congress first requested them.” 

  If Mrs. Clinton cannot be trusted to tell the truth on an issue which can be so easily debunked as this what can she be trusted to tell the truth about…

    She and Billy don’t like to tell the truth, it’s ‘painful’ for them, it seems! Glad Trey’s on this! I wonder if she’ll have a device in her ear telling her what to say or use the google glasses again (mini TelePrompTer! or whatever) to promote her to say something obtuse … like ‘what’s the definition of ‘is’ is?’ Might be fun to watch! I wonder how many libs will be stacked in the deck for her this time. ‘To lie or not to lie … what does it matter.’

      Zip, bottom line is it DOES NOT matter if she lies. The left has become immune to her lies. She knows that, so will continue to do what she does best.

        If I remember correctly didn’t the media start saying that sometimes lying was good and honorable if it was being done so as not to embarrass somebody after Bill was caught lying to the Grand Jury?

    So she lied, what does it matter? She is laughing all the way to her swearing in on January 20th, 2017.
