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:

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

Nobody can believe that it is incompetence. It is corruption.

I heard Obama say that - he doesn't know anything about the people and their lawyers trying to get information and their wanting to testify.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He was lying, absolutely lying. He has to know about that as it's everywhere on news channels and on the internet. Certainly he's been informed of that. I'm sure he's the one who said don't give them anything and threaten their jobs, do anything to stop them from testifying. He is just dirt.

He knows about it now so ... get them some lawyers.

Only the POTUS had the authority to act!

0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

They confirm everything Col. Hunt said about automatic notifications to the WH and add more details.

There are three scandals here...

---------------------------------------------------------

Denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than that.

The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.

ONE man had the authority to act that night.

ONE man deserted his post!

0bama abandoned his post. 0bama Is A Deserter!

Please, let this be the final nail in the coffin! Hopefully, Issa or someone else can figure out how to make the administration respond to all the subpoenas. If not, hopefully, someone will figure out a way to work around them and get the job done!

Zero’s duplicitous rhetoric is catching up with him, finally.
Political cartoon in my newspaper this morning shows him in front of a podium with GUN CONTROL written on it, that superior, smarmy expression on his face, and his statement below, “If there’s a step we can take to save even one child, we should take that step.”
Next panel, same drawing but the words PLANNED PARENTHOOD. His comment, “Never mind.”
He and his administration have a lot of those, “I wasn’t aware/What does it matter/Never mind” moments.
