There really wasn't much at all that was going to come out today. Many of the reporters I am following and columns I am reading suggest it's actually quite surprising the amount of info that's come out this hearing.
I wasn't paying a huge amount of attention to what she was saying, but setting up the context on the record is important if more information comes out in classified hearings, they can go back to the record from the public hearing and cross reference answers, or non-answers, to the statements/questions she made/asked.
She may have been weak but wasn't nearly as weak as other members in attendance.

She's getting this stuff on the record so it can be used in other hearings, and to establish probable links that can possibly be used for other means. You'll notice she mentioned the emoluments clause and was specific to the instances of "gifts" being given. She's setting up a bear trap.
