Conservatives Accuse Hillary Clinton of Faking It

This afternoon three State Department officials, including Eric Boswell, the head of diplomatic security, resigned after the release of a scathing independent report on the department's handling of the Benghazi consulate attack.

Tomorrow the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold hearings on Benghazi. Coincidentally, earlier this week it was reported that Hillary Clinton suffered a concussion after fainting due to dehydration from a stomach virus, and won't be available to testify before the committee. You have one guess as to where this is going.

The Daily Caller's Jim Treacher asked for the concussion certificate:

If she has a concussion, let's see the medical report. Let's see some proof that she's not just stonewalling. If it's true, then we can all wish her a speedy recovery. But it's ridiculous to expect us to take her word for it.

And then concussion-gate became a thing, at least among people who suffer one each time they fall on their asses:

Hillary can't testify on Benghazi because she fainted and received a concussion. Or as I call it, "A Christmas Tale."

Hillary won't be testifying about Benghazi because she had a head boo-boo. Which is the same reason that Chris Stevens won't be testifying.

Hillary's fake concussion will probably become a fake coma after reading the #Benghazi report.

The State Department has announced that Secretary Clinton will be available to testify come January. That's a likely story from someone who orchestrated the murder of Vince Foster/faked a head injury/shot JFK.
