REPORT: State Dept. blocking lawyers from representing Benghazi whistleblowers
The Right Scoop ^ | 04-29-2013

Posted on 04/29/2013 12:11:55 PM PDT by Kevin in California

WMAL interviewed former US Attorney Joe DiGenova this morning and he revealed that the State Department is actively blocking lawyers from representing the Benghazi whistleblowers by denying them access to classified information, something they must have at a minimum to be able to discuss the case with their clients. He specifically cited Victoria Toensing as one of the lawyers being denied access to classified information, despite the fact that she has top-secret clearance.

Did I miss something? Why do these people need representation at this time? Is the government prosecuting them for something?

Ya’ll gotta listen to the interview in the attached link.

Sounds like Benghazi’s ready to blow up in the administration’s faces.

“Sounds like Benghazi’s ready to blow up in the administration’s faces.”

The media is all in to protect their messiah. They will ignore this, just as they are ignoring Gosnell’s trial.

Nothing will come of this. I’d bet on it.

The media won’t cover this, so it may not matter much.

The Gosnell trial is about to come to the surface. The admin will need something big to detract from this. Might explain why Obama blessed Planned Parenthood. Kiss of death.

After Whitewater, filegate, perjury and obstruction of justice, it’s obvious who the MSM protects.

We don’t even know who hired Craig Livingston, for crying out loud.

Obama blocked the FBI from going to Benghazi too. Seems the only help offered by the Administration was to the Boston terrorist - he was told he could/should keep quiet... and he quit talking.

I hope you’re right, but I don’t think you are.

"REPORT: State Dept. blocking lawyers from representing Benghazi whistleblowers..."

... An effort to muzzle the mouths of anybody planning to divulge anything in the upcoming new Trey Gowdy hearings. Further proof that there is definitely something to hide. I sincerely hope that if Gowdy still plans to go through with those hearings that full protection has been afforded the witnesses. Their lives are in jeopardy. They may be in danger of unfortunate deadly accidents or committing suicide before these hearings.

DManA ~:” Why do these people need representation at this time? Is the government prosecuting them for something?”

No , these 30 people are generally career-diplomats
whose job and promotional opportunities
could be jeopardized if they tell the truth about Benghazi.
Legal representation protects the employee from ‘whistle-blower’ fallout.

The American “media” will not cover this.

There is a higher chance that PRAVDA and/or the
Canadian News services will cover this than sum of all
probabilities for ABC,NBC,CBS,PBS,NPR,and CNN.
The Western media is a docile shadow of what it once was.

GOPJ~: “..Obama blocked the FBI from going to Benghazi too. “

Not true ! Obama didn’t block the investigation into Benghazi ..
Holder’s people selected the investigators on Benghazi,
and they had to WAIT 27 days (!) for that one person’s passport to come through, as reported in the media .
Almost as incredible as the 5 month wait for Hillary to testify on Benghazi

In the past few years, I've been guilty of thinking it will continue like this from now on. BUT, should the flow of money to the media be stanched substantially, these writers and editors and pretty yappers could be replaced by genuine journalists in a weekend-long push. There still are people qualified to do the work of the current propaganda-spewers. But it may not be possible in another generation unless something redirects the media's focus away maintaining the status quo.
