The question she didn’t answer:
…it seems beyond dispute that Clinton withheld Benghazi-related information from Congress beginning September 20, 2012. There are laws that govern such behavior. To give two examples: 18 U.S. Code 1505 says that anyone who “obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede…the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House, or any joint committee of the Congress” could face a five-year prison term, while 18 U.S. Code 1001 states that anyone who “falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact” in the course of “any investigation or review, conducted pursuant to the authority of any committee, subcommittee, commission or office of the Congress” could face a prison sentence of up to eight years.
Laws are for the little people.
Yes, but enforcement of the law would require a Congress not willing to “go along to get along.” My prediction is that the Republicans will grumble and whine and shuffle their feet, and maybe, if we are unusually fortunate, an extraordinarily brave candidate will ask Hillary about the missing emails and about Benghazi during the debate. Hillary will fluff up her feathers and sputter out some non-answers, and the late-night TV talk show host comedians will call the Republican candidate a “conspiracy theorist” and say he’s bringing up “old news.” Cue laugh track.
