Bryan Preston Now Live-Blogging the Benghazi Hearings, for Free
Actually he's always free at PJMedia but I thought I might interest people by suggesting they were getting something for free.
I had intended to liveblog this but I got distracted. He isn't distracted. He's on it.
The hearings have been featuring some news in the past hour.
1:19 pm Rep. James Langford (R-OK) asks Hicks and Nordstrom whether security was adequate at Benghazi. Answer from Nordstrom: No. They did not meet the minimum standards. Nordstrom testifies that only the Secretary of State can grant waivers for facilities that do not meet the minimum standards. That’s BIG.

1:24 pm Rep. John Tierney (D-MA) gives speech saying that we must learn from Benghazi so that it does not happen again. Democrats continue the pattern of talking at rather than asking questions of the three whistleblowers. Tierney continues the pattern of isolating and attacking Rep. Issa, bringing Alinsky tactics into the U.S. House of Representatives hearing on a terrorist attack that killed four Americans.
Tierney accused Thompson of not making himself available to the State Dept.’s ARB investigation. Thompson corrects him — he did make himself available but the ARB did not interview him.
Tierney now playing a video of DNI James Clapper defending Hillary Clinton. Democrats defend Democrats — big shocker there.
Hicks: “There was no report of a demonstration.” Tierney quickly interrupts him. Tierney ends with a speech.
