Clinton looks deeply moved as she answers.
It is deeply unfortunate that anything as serious as what happened in Benghazi could ever be used for partisan political purposes, and I’m hoping that we can move forward together, start listening to each other, and I appreciate greatly what you said, ranking member Cummings.

Schiff and Cummings berates the Republicans on the committee
“Everyone on the podium is hoping they’re the one that has the ‘gotcha’,” says Schiff. “I think they’ll rue the day that they did this.”
Cummings next. And wow, he’s angry:
When I listened to [the other witnesses] talk about that night, all of them were brought to tears. And I remember saying to myself, if you can create a culture in an organisation where people in talking about their boss, and how she reacted, and what they felt, it brought them to tears, it says a lot.
It bothers me when I hear people even imply that you didnt care about your people. That’s not right. Then I sit here and watch you. ... And I just for one want to thank you, and I appreciate what you’ve done.
You’re right, it’s easy to sit here under these lights and monday morning quarterback about what should have been done. You’ve laid it out.
I don’t know what we want. Do we want to badger you over and over until you’re tired and we get that gotcha moment? We’re better than that.
You can comment if you like, I just had to get that off my chest.
There is Applause in the room.
