This is what her aides are saying and I don't think it's just talk.
"Clinton also isn't going into Thursday's hearing blindly. She has testified about the 2012 attack in Benghazi before, albeit in front of different committees. (So far, there have been seven investigations into the Benghazi attack, and none of them found any gross negligence on her part.)"
"Her team is also looking at the recent testimony of Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards in front of the House Oversight Committee as a model for Clinton's appearance, since Richards walked away from it without giving Republicans any fresh fodder."
"[Clinton's] looking forward to doing this. She wants to answer all these questions," campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said on MSNBC Tuesday. "And we think once she is through Thursday, we are going to be done with this and she will have answered questions from all the media, she will have answered questions from the Hill. This will be the eighth time the congressional committee has investigated this, and it will be time to move on."

I think there are may reasons why she wants to do this.
1. She is good at testifying in hostile conditions. She already beat them in her 2013 testimony.
2. The facts regarding Benghazi haven't changed since 2013.
3. It gives her free air time
4. The cat is out of the bag on the fact that these are just witch trials.
That's what I hated about that recent SNL skit. Yes, they did a good Bernie but they were unfair in making it look like she was about to faint when asked about her emails.
She actually did give a good answer to it before Bernie had his fine moment of chivalry.
If there is any doubt that the GOP is the one in dnager today, take it from Dick Armey.
"Former GOP Rep. Dick Armey, who has faced off in similar hearings with Clinton in the past, warns fellow Republicans of the perils to come today:"
"In an interview, Mr. Armey, now retired, said he expected Mrs. Clinton’s discipline would ultimately wear down congressional Republicans. “The Clintons have a lifetime of working their way through the hot seat,” he said. “Republicans will allow their frustration to cloud their judgment, and they’ll overstep and she can walk out the door the victim.”
"Maybe. Or, alternatively, Republicans will treat her with respect and deference in hopes that the press corps will overlook their Benghazi conspiracy-mongering."
