13. I think she will be just as she was on Benghazi

She will answer question after question with intelligent, relevant answers. She is a lawyer by training and that will again show to her benefit.

What I suspect will happen based on the Republicans involved is: Each Republican prefacing a yes/no question with three minutes of filibuster designed to make the expected answer look damning. (ie 3 minutes describing Maxwell's crimes in detail followed by a question of whether they ever invited her to anything, knowing she went to Chelsea's wedding) They will then limit her response by reclaiming their time.)

We need to be realistic. No news coming out of this closed session is good meaning their gotchas failed. The format is not a fair playing field or designed for real fact finding. The Republican goal will be to get even one short sound bite that sounds bad for the Clintons.

I hope that both will speak to whatever trusted media is left after the fact unless the Republicans succeed in getting nothing.

The Republicans are doing this knowing that they can even use the fact the Clintons spoke behind closed doors on what the Republicans will characterize repeatedly as their involvement with Epstein and Maxwell. This is why they fought the subpoena which was historically different than anything asked of past Presidents.
