Issa to CIA: Get your lawyers ready on Benghazi

Hot Air ^ | 4-18-2013 | Ed Morrissey

Suddenly, it seems that the terror attack on our consulate in Benghazi last September may become relevant all over again. Yesterday afternoon, CBS’ Sharyl Attkisson reported that a number of whistleblowers had emerged to talk to the House Oversight Committee, in news that may have slipped under the radar of other emerging (and non-emerging) developments in the Boston Marathon attack story:

"CBS News has learned that multiple new whistleblowers are privately speaking to investigators with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee regarding the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks on the U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya."

"The nature of the communications with the whistleblowers and their identities are not being made public at this time. But in response, the Oversight Committee yesterday sent letters to the three federal agencies involved: the CIA, the Defense Department and the State Department."

(snip)

Ever since the initial probe stalled a few months ago, many have wondered why the administration hasn’t made the survivors of that night available to House investigators. Some have also wondered why those survivors haven’t come forward on their own, but if they still work in intelligence agencies, they may not have been allowed to do so. These new whistleblowers may or may not be the Benghazi survivors, but clearly they’re coming from within the intel community — and Issa’s letter strongly suggest that they are pointing fingers upstairs.

Sorry about the double post,....not sure what happened,...Mouse has been acting strange....

May be time to replace it.

[caww]

Might not be your mouse...I;m getting “cannot display” when I reply to posts several times today. But only on FR.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Now to post it.

May it be ... May it be so that Issa has moved to do the right thing. If our congresspeople are not going to have the backs of the people they ask to go to war or are placed in danger by authority, then nobodies back is covered. Would be a terrible revelation to those people seeking to do the right thing when placed in danger by authority.

I will never believe his departure was unrelated to this.

Neither shall I. Seen too many setups and scams in my life so may Issa Stand Up and not sit down till America and Americans have answers.

May not be your mouse.

I agree ... something isn’t right. I wonder ... if Jim and John should receive a heads up?

[no-to-illegals]

something is going on for certain ... seen anything on the web at all today, caww?

[caww]

Have to push reply button several times to post.....any change frrom the front page here i have to redo or fight to get it thru.

[no-to-illegals]

about 20 minutes mark time day date is ongoing.

[caww]

No...just having trouble posting here on FR and going to different pages...constantly getting “This page cannot display”....have to hit or hold and press.

Think I’ll let Jim know since others seem to be having trouble. Though he’s likely aware.

[no-to-illegals]

I’ll check a couple of things. Just for reference.

[no-to-illegals]

How long have you noticed what is taking place. Mine is maybe 20 - 25 minutes and growing.

[no-to-illegals]

There is some minor trouble on the web but nothing worth mentioning.

[no-to-illegals]

I agree ... Jim is one of the most aware people I’ve never met. Want to change having not met some day.

[jjotto]

You certainly could be right.

ahh! Okay. I read that thread about the whistleblowers yesterday and posted my amazement that it came from CBS, and how the CBS newsroom must be gnashing their teeth. Sharyl Attkisson! I should have known. I cannot belive the Democrat CBS news division hasn't found a way to get rid of her yet. Maybe they're afraid of what she could do at an honest newsroom and want to keep her where they can at least keep an eye on her.
