Relevant: Full Disclosure of Hillary Clinton's Medical Condition




After Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye (D), who was third in the line of succession as president pro tempore of the Senate, died on Monday, concerns about the health of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is fourth in the line of succession, became even more important -- and relevant. 

On Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden swore in Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT) as president pro tempore of the Senate and he now, as the Senate’s most senior member, is third in the line of succession to the presidency.
Clinton, who is fourth in line, is recovering from a concussion she suffered last week when she fell after a stomach virus left her dehydrated.
The State Department revealed Clinton's medical condition on Saturday. As a result of her ill health and concussion, Clinton will not be testifying this week, as she had been scheduled to, when the House and Senate hold hearings about Benghazi and Clinton's actions -- or lack thereof -- in the months leading up to the terrorists attacks that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. 

Clinton told Barbara Walters in an interview taped before she suffered her concussion that she was “not only healthy” but had “incredible stamina and energy.”
A State Department official on Monday, though, said Clinton suffered the concussion early last week when she fell after being dehydrated due to a stomach virus, but the concussion was diagnosed on Thursday. 
When reporters asked State Department spokesperson Philippe Reines on that Thursday to provide more details about Clinton's medical condition after she had cancelled a pre-planned trip to Morocco earlier in the week, Reines simply told reporters that “she had seen her doctors and was home," without providing additional details. 
A neurologist told ABC News that the “most important thing is for” Clinton “to get rest. No e-mails. No working.”
However, State Department Spokesperson Victoria Nuland on Monday said Clinton has the completed Independent Advisory Review Board’s Benghazi review and report.
"She now has it," Nuland told reporters on Monday of the report that will be released to members of Congress this week.
Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), who defeated Republican Christine O'Donnell in 2010, had been, as the Senate's presiding officer, third in the line of succession until Biden had sworn in Leahy, since the Senate had not adjourned when Inouye died. 

This comment says it all:
Vaptorious
As I've said in another post:  Whatever the he!l they were up to in Benghazi is obviously VERY damaging to the entire Democrat leadership, judging by Hillary Clinton's behavior.
First, she fled the country immediately after the election (wine-tasting in Australia—naturally);  then she got a stomach virus;  then she fainted and got a concussion;  the next thing will be that the dog has eaten her homework…
All this so she doesn't have to testify about why she placed a gay Ambassador in an unprotected compound in the middle of an Islamic fundamentalist hornets' nest, while denying him additional security, and removing the security he already had—oh—and watching him get s0dom¡zed by a broomstick in his last terrifying moments alive.
This woman owes us ANSWERS, damnit!
