I think that takes away some of the strength. as many times as she steps before congress, shes going to testify again but she was strong when she testified previously at the end of her tenure as secretary of state. so i think that all of the things coming to light, all of the information that we have now, its been debunked and debunked and debunked and debunked. how many more times do we have to debunk this as a conspiracy, as the republicans have laid it out? >> unfortunately, ive spent years w...
