country on e-mail. i conducted it in meetings. i read massive amounts of memos, great deal of classified information. i made a lot of secure phone calls. i was in and out of the white house all the time. reporter: and again and again, republicans pressed her about her e-maililfrom her old friendndidney blumenthal. >> help us understand how sidney blumenthal had that kind of access to you, madame secretary, but the ambassador did not. >> reporter: that line of questioning made democrats furious and the two sides started fighting with each other. >> i tell you what. >> the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? that's what weweant to have. let the worlsee it. >> whyhys it that you only want mr. blumenthal's transcript released? >> reporter: they went at it. hillary clinton just looked on. if republicans were hoping to draw blood with this hearing, they didn't really succeed. hillary clinton was calm, sober and substantive, and when republicans tried to engage her in political fights, she didn't take the bait. jonathan karl, abc news, capitol hill.
