Hillary Clinton on the Hill - Libyagate

BBC News: Reports that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will go before  House Committee once the State Department has done its own internal review of the events in Libya. 

Lets Get Real:

This is a minefield for Secretary Clinton, she does not want to throw Oval under the bus, but she also wants a political career after she leaves as Secretary of State.  If Mrs Clinton is found at fault for the deaths in Libya then there is NO chance of her running in 2016.   The Republicans would tear her to shreds on national security.  One can assume that former President Bill Clinton will be helping her with her brief, making sure that she dot not get the blame, but also making sure that she does not leave the impression that it was down to the Oval.   This could be tricky for the Clintons.
