State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki did not directly deny to reporters Wednesday that Benghazi survivors were being withheld from testifying before Congress, suggesting instead that House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is mistaken to assume any of the survivors do want to testify.

Unhh. I think they have a RESPONSIBILITY to testify so we know how people (Hillary - Obama - Dempsey) screwed up.
Psaki said these survivors were still involved in the criminal investigation surrounding the attacks
BULL!
They are only involved in a criminal investigation to the extent YOU and this administration are covering up your criminal involvement.
They can’t talk because they’re dead. Pretty soon, they’re going to come out and say, “4 dead? Oops. We forgot a zero. It’s actually 40.”
We have traitors in our government. This woman is obviously working against our interests and WE ARE PAYING HER!!!!!

Is that in his job description, NonValueAdded? I could be mistaken, of course, but I thought his job was to look serious, issue solemn statements, and send occasional polite requests to President You Didn't Build That. Do you mean to say he has actual responsibilities?
I hear they’re really enjoying two polygraphs a month, too. It’s just like a vacation in Cuba.
That’s what subpoenas are for.
He’s running out the clock for the wrong team
