ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Hillary Clinton lied about role in ousting Moammar Gadhafi

The New York Times' Maureen Dowd captured the moment last weekend when she referred to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as "the midwife to chaos" in Libya. Ms. Dowd apparently came to that conclusion after watching Mrs. Clinton bobbing and weaving and admitting and denying as she was confronted with the partial record of her failures and obfuscations as secretary of state, particularly with respect to Libya.

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Questions for Hillary Clinton

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Why Hillary Clinton is so unhappy

Why is Hillary Clinton so unhappy? According to her, when she and her husband left the White House, they were dead broke. Yet they left with a truckload of valuable furniture, dinnerware and flatware that was the property of the federal government, for which they were never prosecuted.

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Hillary Clinton would crush Second Amendment

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Is Pope Francis a false prophet?

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: The dark side of Planned Parenthood

The recent broadcast of videotapes taken of persons employed at Planned Parenthood -- the prolific and notorious abortion provider -- has brought the issue of abortion to the national consciousness again, and front and center to the Republican presidential primary campaign. The tapes were made secretly by a pro-life group determined to show to the world the dark side of Planned Parenthood's use of federal funds.

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Hillary Clinton lies about emails again

In a column I wrote in early July, based on research by my colleagues and my own analysis of government documents and eyewitness statements, I argued that in 2011 and 2012 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton waged a secret war on the governments of Libya and Syria, with the approval of President Obama and the consent of congressional leadership from both parties and in both houses of Congress.
