Benghazi Index
Posted on 09/20/2013 6:05:20 AM PDT by don-o
The State Department said Thursday that Republican subpoenas to interview witnesses to the Benghazi terror attack could “jeopardize” the FBI's investigation.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) announced Thursday that he has subpoenaed John Martinec, the top security adviser to slain U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, who was killed in the attack. Issa has also subpoenaed Alec Henderson, the regional security officer in Benghazi.
“We understand that the Diplomatic Security law enforcement agents who performed heroically on September 11 are likely witnesses at any criminal proceedings relating to the Benghazi attacks, and that additional interviews of them outside of the criminal justice process could jeopardize those efforts to bring the terrorists to justice,” a State Department official told The Hill. “That said, the Department is not preventing any employees who wish to tell their story from doing so.”
Issa accused the department of playing “hide and seek” with witnesses, and downplayed criticism that having them testify could harm law enforcement's efforts to bring to justice the Benghazi attackers.
The State Department “is now hiding behind a thinly-veiled statement that there is a criminal investigation into the terror attack,” Issa said.
Issa has accused the Obama administration of deliberately lying by linking the attack to a protest over an anti-Islam video ahead of last year's elections. Republicans believe witnesses to the attack will confirm there was never a protest and otherwise criticize security failings at the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
Law enforcement officials worry that on-the-record testimony could be used by defense attorneys for any alleged attackers to point out discrepancies among the witnesses. Obama administration officials have said that one wounded American remains in the hospital and four others are back on the job.

There is no danger of an investigation going on now, or anytime in the future.
Exactly.
bump
There is likely no investigation at all happening
In either Foreign affairs or the Oversight hearing, there was a question about the jurisdiction of FBI in the Benghazi matter. The congress member mentioned FBI is only able to work inside the US.
Does anyone have any more info on this? Because if this is the case, this statement about “FBI probe” is a false premise.
Question.
How can a foreign person be accused of violating a US legal standard if they don’t live here.
Wonder why our esteemed representatives don’t call out O / Holder/ Hilly/Horse Face on this.
Once terrorists were allowed to be treated like “ law breakers” we opened the door to non accountability.
Great post.
P.S. She looks like a young Ruth Bader Ginsberg in that photo
Hillary is a progressive zealot, for her ilk the ends justify the means.
And some people really think we would have been better off if HRC was POTUS rather than a former community organizer.
Impeachment file for Harrison J. Bounel, aka “B. Hussein Obama.”
Sounds like this is about building momentum.
Mullen and Pickering were lying sacks of suds yesterday.
Call your reps to support finding the truth about Benghazi and about defunding Obamacare:

Make the call now to your reps. Today is the day.
Even if you are in a Dem district.
Drag Hillary's fat ass before the committee and put her under oath.
The FBI operates internationally.

“I wouldn’t believe anything this government says.”

Me neither,and I feel that is quite a sad way to feel.

Neither of these two witness’s were in Benghazi the night of the attacks. I’m sure that they know who was, but one was in the US and the other was in Tripoli.
The committee know who is still in Walter Reed..surely they could get him into testify.
