Omerta is the Italian word for "humility." It was also the code of silence in the Mafia the breaking of which was punished severely. Apparently the Obama Administration has a similar code of silence. According to Fox news at least four career employees of the State Department and the CIA have been threatened not to talk by their superiors.
Victoria Toensing, a former Justice Department official and Republican counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, is now representing one of the State Department employees. She told Fox News her client and some of the others, who consider themselves whistle-blowers, have been threatened by unnamed Obama administration officials.But Wait! Isn't this supposed to be the most transparent administration in history? Why would they threaten people to prevent them from talking to congress?
“It's frightening, and they're doing some very despicable threats to people,” she said. “Not ‘we're going to kill you,’ or not ‘we're going to prosecute you tomorrow,’ but they're taking career people and making them well aware that their careers will be over [if they cooperate with congressional investigators].”If the Obama administration had nothing to hide they wouldn't be trying to prevent people from testifying. Chairman Issa is poised to protect these whistle-blowers so the American people can finally learn the truth.
“I'm not talking generally, I'm talking specifically about Benghazi –that people have been threatened,” Toensing said in an interview Monday. “And not just the State Department. People have been threatened at the CIA.”
I thought we had layer upon layer of “whistleblower protection” laws and regulations. I know this because I remember how they were written by Democrats to protect whistleblowers that emerged from Republican administrations.
Guess that was then and this is now.

Notice lately the media (and even George Bush) are acting like Hillary is their 2016 candidate. They are going to protect that. In many ways this administration has been more of the Clinton machine, same people, including Holder
It could, but I keep thinking back to fast and Furious and what happened there.-——Nothing.
Yes and we have immigrations laws and voting laws. Any other questions?
It’s great to see Victoria Tensing back on the scene!
Glenn Beck has reported, whistle blowers regarding the deportation of Saudi national from Boston bombing are also being threatened
This is a criminal act. The one who gave the order needs to be prosecuted.
Down the memory hole. Watch. It's an un-event.
... Since the Sept. 11 Benghazi, Libya, massacre, President Barack Obama has sacked his CIA director and two of his top military commanders, demoted one and found another caught up in the scandal involving the CIA director. This many top commanders being relieved at one time is unprecedented in U.S. history
… The dismissal of Ham is interesting because there are reports that he had assets in place set to rescue Libyan Ambassador Christopher Stevens and his team but was ordered to stand down. According to Tigerdroppings.com, Ham was receiving the same emails the White House was receiving requesting support as the attack was under way. Ham got a rapid response unit ready and communicated that with the Pentagon. When he was told to stand down, Ham responded he was not going to obey the order. Less than a minute later, his second in command told Ham that he had been relieved of his command.
They definitely need to get Carter Ham on the stand.
Yes! Victoria Toensing is one of the good guys .... err Gals!
Just saw Toensing on FOX. She stated that there were more people wanting to talk about Benghazi than she had talked to already. They are scared to come forward.
She will become a target of the zero administration just like the Clintons targeted her. Remember the Lewinsky and Plame Scandals? Well she is BACK!
“They are scared to come forward.”
They’ll be heroes and millionaires when they write their books and give interviews after flushing Bath-House Barry and his band of murderers down the toilet.
