Scandal: The former commander of special operations in North Africa says he, like our president, was incommunicado during the Benghazi attack. We may soon hear from the hero who survived 20 hours waiting for help.
During the second wave of attacks on Benghazi, diplomatic security agent David Ubben was on the roof of the CIA annex with two former Navy SEALS. Eventually, several rounds of mortar attacks found their mark, killing Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty while shredding Ubben's right leg.
Ubben was stuck on that rooftop for 20 hours before help finally arrived. He can tell us and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "what difference does it make"that help was not sent — at least two American lives. Ubben sustained injuries at Benghazi so severe he's still being treated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Rep. Darrel Issa's House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has tried to interview Ubben as part of its Benghazi scandal investigation, but the State Department has not allowed the meeting, according to Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah.
"While initially they said they would be helpful, pretty quickly they turned that off," Chaffetz reported. "And I had a meeting scheduled to go visit this ... young man and then I was denied." State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki denies Chaffetz's claim, saying State has been fully cooperative.

See how powerless Issa is? It has been said a million times. No one will ever be held accountable for any Odumbo scandal, not now, not ever.
“While initially they said they would be helpful, pretty quickly they turned that off,” Chaffetz reported. “And I had a meeting scheduled to go visit this ... young man and then I was denied.” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki denies Chaffetz’s claim, saying State has been fully cooperative.
Rep. Chaffetz, Jen Psaki is pissing on your leg
and telling you it’s raining.
Damn, when are these representatives going to stand
up and say ENOUGH!
It is called a subpoena. If ISSA can not do it then a Benghazi Select Council

We have been waiting for almost a year for ANYONE to blow the roof off of this thing. Please, Lord.... And pray for this man....
Its the Limbaugh Theorem. Of course Mussolini thought that he was invincible too. He ended strung upside down from a lamppost.
Issa should have marched right into the hospital to PROVE to Ubben that he would be taken care of for telling his story.
They wasted the chance.
The short answer: no. The long knives are out over Benghazi. They are threatening anyone who rats them out with anything they can to shut them up.
He will say nothing.

According to CNN (yes, I know) CIA is now polygraphing people to make sure they are not talking about Benghazi.
I am confused why the government could go after Roger Clemons, but can’t seem to go after ANY government official, even if they lie, perjure themselves, won’t show up or get blocked. Are the courts not an option?
Hard to disagree. All the potential witnesses know that Congress can't protect them. We have an AG who was held in Contempt of Congress and he wears the citation like a badge of honor. Whatever happened in Benghazi is such that the Regime will do anything to keep it quiet. If a witness tried to come forward, would he even get there. If he did, would his family be safe, and so on. We have an Administration that is lawless and there doesn't seem to be any way to enforce laws against them when the DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc. are also corrupt.
20 hours? There’s no excuse for that long a wait. 0bama you coward. Ubben for President!

Move along..there’s nothing to see here.
Everyone in the government have had time to “get their stories straight” and will make in out like a total fool.
No.
