Page 17 - Central Focus News Today

We have four points in time that we have here that show you the highs and the lows. her lows have been when she is the central focus. whitewater investigation, presidential campaign. her highs are when she gets to be above politics either secretary of state or during the monica case she was a victim, a bystander here. the question is how does she -- she could be victimized by the way house republicans aggressively go after her, but at the same time look like the hillary clinton of the whitewater...

>> oh heavens no. i think it was a wall street journal reporter that went and looked at our three previous hearings and i mentioned her name a whopping zero times. so she is a very important part of understanding what happened in libya and benghazi, but, chuck, were scheduled to interview 50 witnesses between now and the conclusion. so she would be 1/50 of that. her documents at 45,000 that were reviewing would be a small subset. shes very important. but she is by no means -- she is not even a -...

Were reviewing would be a small subset. shes very important. but she is by no means -- she is not even a -- shes not even a central focus. she is certainly not the central focus. >> i would assume that means your also the cia director at the time david petraeus a big role in that and everything going on in libya and benghazi at the time too, i assume youre in the middle of negotiating with him as well, trying to get documents and e-mails from him and schedule his testimony? >> well, we would ver...

Breakdown and crime and bad schools and, instead, always pointing again to the white communities that white guilt will care you into the next plateau just not realistic. we have lost moral clarity in terms of dealing with slavery reconstruction, the fight against legal segregation.country. in >> well,g is, part of what you are saying isan as brave as those kind people were that was kind of easy, pardon the expression, ets re black and white. it gets really complicated. >> its like george said ab...

Need. down the line in the general election, youll see signs of disagreement. you saw a little in the book but i would argue when to arm the syrian rebels is an important issue but not one most americans are deeply engaged in. october 2016, i think it will be a lot different when the president is leaving office, she probably has the democratic party behind her and she has to look for swing voters, can you imagine the coverage of the book right now if she had attacked obama on some really importa...

Scenario and place some aggressive defense and have an opportunity to rest some measure of control over this narrative and neutralize ahead of 2016. >> well, it is very interesting. we were watching the video of hillary clinton when she testified on what the state department did that night in benghazi. so this group thats getting together tomorrow, third way, the director of that national security program, or the national security program said this about the meeting tomorrow. well, clintons book...
