Issa Responds to President’s Comments on Benghazi Whistleblowers
oversight.gov ^ | 4/30/13 | Daryll Issa

WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) made the following statement in response to President Barack Obama’s assertion that he’s “not familiar” with Benghazi whistleblowers being blocked from telling their stories:

“A lawyer for Benghazi whistleblowers has publicly stated that the State Department is blocking her client’s ability to talk freely with counsel. Over the past two weeks, I have sent four letters requesting that this Administration make information available about how lawyers – who already have security clearances and are representing Benghazi whistleblowers – can be cleared to fully hear their clients’ stories. I have yet to receive any response from the Obama Administration.

“Even if the President really doesn’t know anything about someone wanting to come forward, his position should be that whistleblowers deserve protection and that anyone who has different information about Benghazi is free to come forward to Congress. The President’s unwillingness to commit himself to protecting whistleblowers only aids those in his Administration who are intimidating them.”

Issa’s four letters requesting that the Administration make information available for lawyers representing Benghazi whistleblowers:

I think Norm is saying he had posted on the wrong thread 3 times tonight and is ready for bed. Reference his post #11 - has no connection to this thread.

And, what's going on with the YouTube guy?

Still in lock-up?

Thanks for your quick response. Also, there are none of the usual lists of posts of interest on the right side of my screen either at the Forum page or the Ping page. Also only a few pings at a time are shown. Is there something wrong with FR, or is it my old computer?

Well of course he is lying.

His lips are moving.

Does Mr. Issa really expect Obama to allow Government employees to keep their jobs if they squeal on “The One”?

If they squeal on Obama they will not have 2 Seals die to save them. They will be dead.

"HRC!" has a bunch of papers in that notebook.

Maybe she should have let Obama read it - would maybe keep him from being so duplicitous and shady, which we know he is.

But anyway, to pin even one of his lies would be a good day.

Lies examined every single day to follow.

This is what I keep repeating about Zer0:

“He has to be evil because NOBODY can be that stupid. Even a complete dumba$$ gets something right every now and then just by accident.”

I know the feeling, but are you also missing all the information that is normally on the right side, or is it just me?

We are about to find out is the lies, no matter how blatant, matter to 50+ percent of the population. The GOP and honest Americans writing letters matters not a wit. The House must take far more tangible action and, so far, it looks like Boehner is running cover for Obama.

Just Tweeted earlier by CBS’ Sharyl Atkisson-

State Dept. re: whereabouts of Benghazi survivors: “..most of them are back on duty and doing functions at various places around the world.”

Hope you are watching Lou Dobbs. If not, you MUST watch his repeat show later — all your hard work is coming to fruitio. Mcnerney said this is bigger than Watergate.

Of COURSE it’s bigger than Watergate: nobody died in Watergate.
And nobody was trafficking military weapons in Watergate.
And nobody was thrown in prison as a distraction in Watergate.

Well, another little tidbit from the Dobbs show was how Petraeus was railroaded out of CIA but if asked to come before Issa hearing will tell the truth. Lots of stuff in the show — I should have taken notes but you never know when it starts out what will come out. Please, everyone — watch Lou Dobbs Tuesday night on the 2nd round if you missed it earlier.
