State Dept. Blocks Lawyers from Representing Benghazi Whistleblowers
WMAL ^ | Monday, April 29, 2013

The State Department is blocking local lawyer Victoria Toensing from representing whistleblowers on the 2012 Benghazi attacks, according to her legal partner and husband Joe DiGenova. Teonsing wants to represent such whistleblowers at the upcoming Congressional hearings about the Benghazi case.

"The Department of State is refusing to grant clearances to Victoria and other people who want to represent the whistleblowers in an attempt to prevent the testimony," DiGenova said.

What would you expect from the ‘most transparent administration ever’ ?

We are essentially Venezuela now.

It appears Hugo Chavez didn't die but took a leave of absence to "fix" things here. He's getting plenty of help from his buddies in the Americofascist governing class.

Stalin could only be green with envy and wish he could break eggs so smoothly!

“A date for the next hearing will be announced soon. Citing concerns about possible retaliation whistleblowers could face at the hands of administration officials, Chairman Issa has declined to publicly name those who have been in contact with the committee.”

Benghazi-gate? What is a good name for this?

Whose ship will sink?

Hillary Clinton?

Obama-the-lame-duck?

Kerry-gate?

SOP for Hilary(!). She sought to deprive Richard Nixon of counsel during the Watergate investigation as well.

Aren’t their lawyers , possibly in the military, that already have clearance?

It seems that I haven’t seen Victoria and Joe on FOXnews in over five years. True conservatives are being blocked from FOX as well as all the liberal outfits.

My question, too.

Toensing is one tough cookie. Should be interesting to see this play out.

I’ve thought from the beginning that Benghazi was going to be old Down Low Barry’s Waterloo. Time will tell.

We don’t know if these guys are in the military, and Victoria Toensing already has a top secret clearance. It’s the state department that won’t clear her.

I agree. VT is tough. I pray she stays the course.

And, then there is Judge Pirro who’s on Benghazi like a dog on a bone...Now THERE is one fantastic woman.

One can dream that the truth eventually comes out. Obama/Clinton let those American’s be murdered as they watched/slept. Sorry state of affairs we are in.

Victoria was just on FNC right now... not in person, but footage... FNC calls State denying her explosive.

Be damned if I can remember her FReeper name.
