Thanks for looking that up for me. I've never heard of such a thing before. It sounds as if it is being used to avoid personal responsibility for the statement in question. She's using very slimy semantics, and this from somebody not afraid to admit before a congressional hearing that she has failings in grammar.

This is the second time she's appeared before Waxman's committee - I think they must find her as highly entertaining as I do.

Yeah, you're right. I just didn't know what the hell a 'hortatory subjunctive' was, so I looked it up. Thought I'd share ....
I ain't sure what this is all about, but it sounds like she pulled some dubious stunts over at the GSA -- and has some splainin' to do. I also detect a pretty thick tone of contempt in her voice. Congress won't like her attitude..

The key thing is that a hortaory subjunctive still indicates an intention to do something - so it turns out that she meant what she said and she said what she meant.

Hortatory Subjunctive
a)This is a statement urging others to join in some action (commanding oneself and one's associates).
b)It is easily identified because it will always be the first person plural form of the subjunctive mood.
c)It is usually translated "let us...." (Thus, as a mnemonic device, it can be referred to as the 'Salad Subjunctive'.)
Examples:
i) Hebrews 10:22
"Let us come forward to the Holy of Holies with a true heart."
