Fourth Benghazi witness gagged by red tape
Daily Caller ^ | 5/8/13 | Neil Munro

Posted on 05/08/2013 9:18:01 AM PDT by Nachum

Obama administration officials are finally letting the attorney for a Benghazi whistle-blower get a security clearance — but the clearance is at such a low level that it will probably slow the congressional probe of how the administration handled last year’s terrorist attack on the embassy in Benghazi, Libya.

Victoria Toensing represents an unnamed government official who can help explain the reaction of top government officials to the jihadi attack on the U.S diplomatic site in Benghazi and killed four Americans last Sept. 11.

The official may also be able to explain if officials rewrote intelligence reports and took other actions to minimize media coverage of the administration’s errors and the perceived role of Al Qaeda jihadis.

At least three officials will testify today at a House hearing about the scandal, and are expected to say top officials at the Department of State took actions to minimize political damage to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In the days after the attack, officials claimed the attack had resulted from a spontaneous demonstration against an anti-Muslim film. That story was quickly refuted, although the filmmaker was arrested on a probation violation and remains in prison.

Toensing’s client will not be able to testify at public or closed-door hearings because he or she has not been able to prepare classified testimony with the aid of a lawyer, Toensing told The Daily Caller.

The King Obama communists will turn this investigation into a useless show. The current problem in America now is we cannot conquer the communists empire that has us in its grasp. Glenn Beck warned us years ago that the Country would suffer a communists control and he was right. Disclosure will mean nothing.

Right now, the most shameful part of this whole saga, is that none of the major "news" outlets (ABC, CBS, NBC) are NOT choosing to cover even one snippet of this hearing, so none of the "low information public" will realize they took place, what was said or what to make of losing those people in another 9/11 attack by terrorists in Libya!

Hopefully, Jon Stewart and Stephen Cobert (please use the French pronunciation so he sounds "authentically intelligent," maybe even Letterman and Leno can begin their shows with some jokes including those videos with the muzzies dancing around,) just for laughs for their audiences.)

The best item today was exposure of Cheryl Mills. She is Hillary’s hit woman. Was the lawyer who represented Clintoon at Impeachment hearings.

They put a dagger in it.

She instructed embassy people to not allow Rep Chaevitz to be alone with personnel. Sent a “minder” along 9alka former KGB in USSR) and he got shut out of a meeting too classified for his puny clearance. Mills went nuts. Love it
