Benghazi Survivors Remain Gagged By Federal Law
Breitbart ^ | 2/20/13 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 02/21/2013 6:31:20 PM PST by paltz

Many continue to ask why the media and lawmakers have not spoken to or brought forth those who survived the deadly attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi last September. The truth of the matter is the Americans who survived that attack cannot legally reveal to members of the press or most lawmakers that they were even witnesses to the attack in Benghazi.

According to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, immediately following the attack, the FBI, as part of the agency’s investigation, interviewed survivors of the Benghazi attack.

Bill Bransford, a Washington, D.C. attorney at Shaw Bransford & Roth P.C. who specializes in federal employment law told Breitbart News on Tuesday, “First of all, I’m assuming that most of these people who witnessed the attack, except for the State Department folks, would be intelligence people, and they are not covered by the whistle blower protection laws.”

That’s OK. I’m sure Hillary! will have a full report on the entire situation and why she left four Americans to die for Saint Peter when she sheds her mortal coil...much like the SNAKE she is. :)

Hillary doesn’t know EXACTLY how many survivors there are? “25 to 30”? Good to know that she wants to be President, but she doesn’t know exactly how many survivors there are. Good to see how much she really cares. How in the world could she not know the exact number? Why don’t we know the exact number?

we'll see how many are left after they are done assigning them to distant and dangerous outposts and Fosterizing the remainder...

In all my early military training, there would inevitably be a Colonel who would appear and ask me how many people I had there. I would tell him 40, and sure enough, he would have sent one of my Soldiers off somewhere.
“Are you SURE you have 40 Soldiers out here Lieutenant?”
I learned to keep close watch on everyone and make sure my subordinates did the same. There’s nothing like having a formation out at some training site with a Colonel standing there counting your people and he turns to you and says,
“You told me you have 40 Soldiers out here. I only count 39. Are you a liar or can you not keep track of your Soldiers?”
That’s one of those questions that doesn’t have a right answer.
That’s the kind of leadership training these Democrats lack.

How could it be "whistle blowing" if the questions haven't been asked yet?

Why can't Congress change the law and ask? You would think with very apparent treason, they would.

I’m not sure we need any “reports”.

We know what went down. We know there should be prosecutions that will never take place.

But, WE KNOW.

And what we hold in our heads can not be suppressed.

Although the line is invisible to liberals, there is a line. We KNOW, it is one that has been crossed. They can cover it up like a cat covering its poop. But it still smells.

We know it. They know it.

I’m not sure where that knowledge will take us. But, we should always remind them that we know. We will always know. Benghazi is fuel, fuel that the libs would rather not see ignited. Keep them guessing.

None of this means anything right now. But I suspect it will..someday.

I bet your Colonel was probably Full Bird. I know your Colonel knew his way around. Each of learns the hard way. If and only if some things which should take place do take place will the democRATs learn. A toast to learning.
