Congressman: Benghazi Survivors Forced to Sign Non-Disclosure Agreements

Congressman Frank Wolf, a Republican from Virginia, said today on the House floor that survivors of the Benghazi terror attack have been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements:



"On Tuesday I raised the question of why none of the Benghazi survivors, whether State Department, CIA, or private security contract employees have testified publicly before Congress," said Wolf.
"According to trusted sources that have contacted my office, many if not all of the survivors of the Benghazi attacks along with others at the Department of Defense, the CIA have been asked or directed to sign additional non-disclosure agreements about their involvement in the Benghazi attacks. Some of these new NDAs, as they call them, I have been told were signed as recently as this summer."
Wolf continued: "It is worth nothing that the Marine Corps Times yesterday reported that the Marine colonel whose task force was responsible for special operations in northern and western Africa at the time of the attack is still on active duty despite claims that he retired. And therefore could not be forced to testify before Congress.
"If these reports are accurate, this would be a stunning revelation to any member of Congress, any member of Congress that finds this out and also more importantly to the American people. It also raises serious concerns about the priority of the administration's efforts to silence those with knowledge of the Benghazi attack in response.
"So today I ask, how many federal employees, military personnel, or contractors have been asked to sign additional non-disclosure agreements by each agency? And do these non-disclosure agreements apply to those undercover or have non-covert State Department and Defense Department employees?"
Wolf added, "I do not expect the Obama administration to be forthcoming with answers, but if this Congress, if this Congress does not ask for the information and compel its delivery, the American people will never learn the truth. Any federal employer employee or contractor who has been coerced and is silenced through a non-disclosure agreement should expect that Congress [will] ask to speak out on their behalf and compel their voice to be heard. That's why I, along with 159 of my colleagues, support a Select Committee to hold public hearings to learn the truth about what happened that night in Benghazi."

  2. Signing "Non-Disclosure Agreements coerced??!! This Administration is getting worse and I mean 'effed up"! There HAS to be something to hide,as

    it is becoming more and more clear that Obama is once again not allowing the truth to be told because I believe he has something to hide. And I mean BIG!! It's a trend going ss far as his phony birth certificate, college records', etc., ad nauseam.

    What I and many others want to know is where was Obama for EIGHT HOURS while the Ambassador and four special ops Navy Seals were brutishly murdered? SLEEPING, to rest up for his trip (and Moochelle) to a major Dem fund-raiser. His actions are treasonous as well as lying by omission by forcing witnesses to sign the damn agreements.

    It's going to turn out biting him in the ass and he'll never see it coming. He's mot a President. He's a dictator and thinks arrogantly for no one but himself. I believe he will not finish out this term. Made even better if Conservatives take over the Senate and keep the House in the mid-term elections. Congress is out for blood. and I pray they expose his sorry ass to the world and more specifically the blacks who voted for him because he is black. The election was literally stolen and financed by Soros and company, puppeteers who control every move that usurping traitor makes.
