Six months after the Sept. 11 terror attack in Benghazi, Republican lawmakers are fuming that they haven’t been granted access to the survivors—several of whom, Fox News has learned, are still recovering at Walter Reed military hospital.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told Fox News on Wednesday that he spoke to a “handful of people” when he visited Libya shortly after the attack, but has struggled to gain access to the survivors ever since. …

Reps. Frank Wolf, R-Va., and Jim Gerlach, R-Pa., claim sources have told them up to 30 were injured, and up to seven may still be at Walter Reed. “Several may have required amputations,” they wrote in a letter to colleagues last week. …

Secretary of State John Kerry, in an interview with Fox News, revealed Tuesday that he has visited one of the survivors in Bethesda, Md.—the location of the Walter Reed military hospital. Kerry described the survivor as “remarkably courageous” and doing “very, very well.” He also said he also talked to the unnamed survivor’s wife. …

Look for a series of unfortunate accidents...

You may be right. And MSM is desperately to cover up this tragedy.

[Uncle Miltie]

They’ve all been Droned and Hellfired. They were considered a “threat.”

[JZoback]

The regime will do everything in it’s power to keep these people under cover of darkness...

Once granted access to congressman the thread of lies begin to unravel...

If fully known to the American public what actually happened and more importantly WHY.....this would make Watergate look like patty cakes...

Judge Jeanine Pirro has been wanting to locate and interview survivors.

The question is:
Where are the survivors buried?

I believe giving lawyers - rather than lawmakers - access to the Benghazi survivors would more productive.

[The_Media_never_lie]

I read one survivor was admitted to the hospital under a false name. Why?

[MestaMachine]

Searching for survivors. Spin the wheel. 'Round and 'round and...

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Wait a minute......weren’t these people supposed to be analysts and not field agents.......or interrogators? Why can’t they be on TV? And if you almost lost your life, I would think the government could find a job stateside for you. There’s way too much coverup on this. And, as always, why did the Democrats, who wet their pants every day for years over the Contras, decide that overthrowing the government in Libya is OK?

Obama believes in sequestration for people too, especially when they have stories to tell.

Thank you very much for your efforts. It sort of looks as though the tide may - just may - be turning.

These people will never be permitted to talk openly. Obama has been allowed to accumulate too much power and the GOP doesn't know how to deal with him. If any of the survivors are a real threat to Dear Leader, they and their families will be persuaded otherwise by whatever means necessary.

Look for them and their families to "disappear" under a newly-concocted "witness protection" program ("protection" in this case to mean protection of the regime). They will be relocated under new identities.
