Rep. Wolf: Benghazi survivors silenced

Another act of coercion by the Obama administration. What else is new? Well, that this tactic was used on the survivors of the Benghazi terror attack, that's what's new.  Congressman Wolf of Virginia stated on the House floor yesterday that they were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements. Stunning.
WHD: Veteran Republican Rep. Frank Wolf of Virginia said on the floor of the House [yesterday] that Benghazi survivors and others were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements about the attacks last Sept. 11.

He says he has “trusted sources” attesting to this. What’s more, it makes complete sense.

Benghazi is the scandal that unquestionably touches the White House. There is still much we don’t know, and this may give us some indication why we don’t know it.

FoxNews: Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., is calling on the Obama administration to explain why the survivors of last year's deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, were reportedly asked to sign non-disclosure agreements that prevent them from talking about the attack.

In a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and CIA Director John Brennan, Wolf said his office has received reports that some survivors of the attack were asked to sign the confidentiality agreement as recently as this summer.

"If these reports are accurate, it would raise serious questions about additional restrictions the State Department has placed on those with knowledge of the Benghazi attacks," Wolf said in the letter. "I also worry about the impact of any [non-disclosure agreements] on congressional efforts to understand fully what happened that night and why the agency responded as it did."
The MSM may want to take the 'what difference does it make' approach, holding no one (uhum, Hillary! Obama!) accountable, but nearing a year later, this still hasn't gone away.
