Hillary misled Congress...but not under oath

Well, I guess this answers Levin's question. You'd expect this of a Democrat-led Senate committee, but the Republican-led House committee didn't bother either. HUGE mistake? How convenient...
Breitbart: Wednesday's testimony on the Benghazi terror attacks by State Department whistleblowers before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform contradicted several statements by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in testimony before House and Senate committees in January.

However, while Clinton may have misled Congress in her testimony, she likely did not commit perjury because she never actually testified under oath.

In the Benghazi hearings, Clinton merely offered ordinary testimony while lower-ranking State Department personnel, including witnesses at the Oct. 10, 2012 hearing before the House Oversight Committee, all testified under oath. (Then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair General John Dempsey also appear to have testified about Benghazi before Congress in February without doing so under oath.)
Joel Pollak of Breitbart covers at least three major contradictions, and given these, it appears that Hillary did indeed mislead Congress...however, she didn't do so under oath. Pollak says that the only way to find out the truth is to recall Clinton and have her testify under oath about what happened on Sep. 11, 2012 and in the days that followed.

ADDENDUM: Levin weighs in...



Regardless of any oath, Hillary Clinton didn' only mislead Congress...she misled every single American in her own nation...
