4. Looked it up myself

She went to the hearing anyway and when it was gaveled to a close, she stood up and asked to be allowed to testify again. At that point after engaging in a bit of verbal back and forth with Saxby Chambliss, she was arrested, tried and convicted. Certainly a bit more harshly handled than she deserved and her 6 month sentence for this "crime" is way out of line... but other than Hillary was there and was the recipient of her written request to testify, I don't see why Hillary gets the blame for this.

I would have liked to see the video of her "outburst" in the hearing. But it's academic.

OTOH, Hillary should not have entered into any "no opposition" agreements with Bushco or the repukes. Probably did so to get something in return, but whatever she got, it was a bad bargain.
