State Department Blocked Access To Benghazi Witness For Months
breitbart ^ | may 4, 2013 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 05/05/2013 10:25:12 AM PDT by lowbridge

The names of the witnesses who will be at the House Oversight Committee Hearing next Wednesday relating to last September's attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi on have reportedly surfaced.

Gregory N. Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya at the time of the Benghazi terrorist attacks; Mark I. Thompson, a former Marine and now the deputy coordinator for Operations in the agency’s Counterterrorism Bureau; and Eric Nordstrom, a diplomatic security officer who was the regional security officer in Libya, the top security officer in the country in the months leading up to the attacks.

During the months of December and January, Breitbart News specifically asked the State Department switchboard for Benghazi witness Hicks' contact information; the State Department claimed his location was unknown and they therefore ccould not provide information as to Hicks' whereabouts.

Meanwhile, another individual Breitbart News asked the State Department switch board about, who is not on the current witness list but may have had information about the deadly Benghazi attacks, was still correctly listed in with the State Department switchboard. Hicks is a veteran Foreign Service officer whose previous postings included Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen.

It’s not bad enough that thel eft is out to destroy the right, but we also have traitors within hte ranks stabbign us i nthe back by ligitimizing hte disgusting comment she made- now the left are goign to say “Even conservatives at fox news agree with hillary and feel the gop is on a witch hunt”

Thanks Cghris for further destroyign hte conservatives- with ‘friends’ like you- who the hell needs enemies

As more facts about Benghzi come out, this scandal gets more interesting.

I wonder how long Congress and the media will continue to ignore the fact that their idol, Dear Leader, screwed this up so badly that they will have to take action??

And, I’m willing to bet that, four years hence, we will still be waiting for someone to take action.

old news and what does it matter.
The CIC went to bed when he was informed of an ongoing attack and Americans dying
He then went to Vegas and lied about it
They then kept playing this out on time.
They intimidated witnesses.

and all this time the media covered for them and still do, much like fast and furious and then he has the gaul to go to Mexico and say our country is at fault for shipping guns to there.

could yu imagine this.

Americans are under attack, the guys are saying to each other that help will come , try to weather this attack out and help will come.
Obama is informed of an on going attack.
He then speaks with his security advisor for a couple fo minutes and then states he is going to bed and to sleep because he has an election coming up and wants to go to Vegas
He then lies about this. His admin play this out in time and make it such a long time ago .

His pals in the media cover for him like they always do after getting talking points from the white house, a house which we pay for and they have closed to us.

Can you imagine if Bush had gone to bed, hell he got done over when he sat there after the attack on 9/11 but because he;s the celebrity guy and has backing from the stars he gets away with all of this.

Now he goes to Mexico and states it’s our fault for their gun crime and yet is not called out for fast and furious.

Sick of it but where is the GOP, they have to do press conferences every day and point all this out and also damn well call out the corrupt biased media

Let’s hope the truth can surface even though the SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS attempt to HIDE THE DECLINE ONCE AGAIN. Speaking of HIDING THE DECLINE what happened to that white house employee THE FOREIGNER sent out of the country so he couldn’t testify in the FAST and FURIOUS fiasco that HILLARY, WITHHOLDER, BIG DUDE and THE FOREIGNER are up to their liberal rear ends in.

And they all used that stupid defense that it was caused by an anti-muslim movie. Is the movie-maker still locked up?

Lots of speculation as to why obozo hussein and the hildabeast do not want the light of truth to shine on the Benghazi terrorist attack which leads me to believe that something catastrophic (FALSE FLAG) will take place to distract and or derail any Benghazi whistle blower testimony damning to the obozo hussein or the hildabeast. ie, the US doing another war, say on Syria for retaliating against the Israeli missile strikes or N Korea going full out foolish and attacking S Korea. Sorry for my cynicism.

yea weird hey how the guy who made the you tube video is locked up ASAP and no one knows anything about him since.

It’s a you tube video and lets move on and the corrupt propaganda machine called the media is all too happy to help their messiah and ten tell us they’re not biased.

Just makes me sick that those seals were there, hoping and telling each other help will come and the CIC went to bed.

Surely dismissing his job and letting Americans die is impeachment

Where did Fox dig up this Lynch, lib guy? All he managed to do was mock and grimace at Jason’s statements. And of course, the last review was one-sided with all Republicans! And Chris flew to Hillary’s defense with her tens of thousands of automated signatures.

Libya’s new Central Bank governor has said that the Libyan government may being issuing sovereign bonds, to (paraphrase) “give Libyan banks access to tradable financial instruments”.

Quote:

“We don’t need to raise money through selling bonds but may issue sovereign bonds to boost investment banking and create a market,” he said.

My hands are crippled from nerve damage. BUT my spell checker works fine. I suggest you try it to make your post readable.

Been listening to a local station and the host is convinced the Benghazi is the biggest scandal in the executive branch. There is not only the deaths but what lead to the deaths and, of course, the cover-up. This will open up the floodgates of testimonies from the witnesses.
