[Purveyor]

WASHINGTON — Amid renewed controversy surrounding Hillary Rodham Clinton’s use of private email for government work, a dispute erupted on Saturday over when and how she would publicly testify before the House select committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks on the American diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya.

Mrs. Clinton’s aides announced Saturday morning that she had accepted an invitation to testify on Oct. 22. But a spokesman for the Republican-led committee said hours later that no agreement had been reached.

And by day’s end, it was not clear what exactly they were arguing over.

A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton said she accepted the committee’s invitation on Friday, the same day that inspectors general for the State Department and the nation’s intelligence agencies said they had discovered classified information on the private email account Mrs. Clinton used while she was secretary of state. The inspectors general said the secret information should never have been stored outside secure government systems.

Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign, said in a statement Saturday that the campaign had reviewed the statements by the inspectors general.

1. Looks like the NY Times still does not understand

that some emails were classified after the fact, years later. Or, perhaps they are still just lying.

Maybe they should get an adult and the reporters in the conference room and explain it with hand puppets or dry erase boards.

2. The repukes want her to testify but only if she doesn't want to

That she agreed to another hearing has upset them because they wanted to be able to say that she was not cooperating. Got it?

3. That's exactly what's happening.

The repubs know they have nothing--they just want to prolong the charade as long as possible.
