Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) thinks it’s a bit strange that survivors of the Benghazi attack have not given public testimony before Congress. He looked into the matter, and says his office was told by “trusted sources” that “many, if not all, of the survivors of the Benghazi attacks, along with others at the Department of Defense and the CIA, have been asked or directed to sign additional non-disclosure agreements about their involvement.” He says some of these agreements were signed “as recently as this summer.”
Wolf also referred to a Marine Corps Times story about Col. George Bristol, who was commander of Joint Special Operations Task Force-Trans Siberia at the time of the attack. According to the Times, the Defense Department has been insisting that Col. Bristol cannot be summoned before Congress for testimony because he has retired… but he’s not retired. He’s still on active duty through the end of this month.

This was actually Wolf’s third “Benghazi Question of the Day.” Question Number Two was actually a semi-automatic burst of questions about how the security of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was compromised.
......
Question Number One was more of a broad complaint that some of the Benghazi eyewitnesses are signing seven-figure book deals, scheduled for publication in 2014, instead of testifying before Congress. He wondered if any of that money would be shared with the families of the Benghazi fallen. Hey, as long as the authors kept quiet through the 2012 election, mission accomplished, right? ...

Lists?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
NDAs???
This trumps subpenas?
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Thank you, Lady.
When are these cowards in the House going to draw up Articles of Imeachment?
Every day, it seems the executive branch gets away with flipping off Congress.
From Fast & Furious to Benghazi, to the IRS, you name it, and the rat's enforced Omerta policy among their ranks trumps Congress every time. Shut up, take a little heat and you will be rewarded.
The democrat/media/labor union complex has made Congress irrelevant. You have no representation. There are no enumerated powers. Tyranny is here.
The American people HATE Congress which ignores
treason, keeps the borders open, and helps al Qaeda
INCLUDING HERE.
This is Treason against the US Constitution.
Are these people not allowed to tell anyone they even signed NDAs? Why don't any of them call Wolf and at least tell him THAT?
And with what were they threatened, so that they would sign such documents?
No, FORCED NDAs appear to supersede ANYTHING these days.
I love Human Events, and sorry to nit-pick, but....what is a semi-auto burst...?
This....sounds like reporting from Time magazine.
You know what I think?
I think if you rob a bank, you should gather your partners together and simply SIGN NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS.
See? That way it’s ALL BETTER and apparently you face NO RISK.
Nice, huh? Yeah, I’m SURE that would work for the little people, uh-huh.
I've almost been there myself. I know what could be threatened. But were they told not to even disclose the existence of the NDAs? If not, then why stay silent about that? Of course Wolf could be protecting at least one of them who did contact him.
Automatic, half of the time! LOL!
Maybe the writer was semi-drunk while he wrote it!
