CNS News<\/a> reported yesterday that the State Department<\/a> was denying security clearances<\/a> to the lawyers<\/a> hired by the whistle-blowers who want to testify to Congress about Benghazi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Rep. Darryl Issa (R-) is demanding Sec. of State John Kerry<\/a> grant clearances to attorneys like his partner, Victoria Toensing<\/a>, who has an active Top Secret security clearance<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Victoria Toensing, my partner, has just been retained by one of the Department of State whistleblowers who are going to appear before the Issa committee.\u00a0 On April 26, Congressman Issa sent a letter to the new Sec of State, John Kerry, demanding that the lawyers who are going to represent the whistleblowers be cleared – be given clearances – so they can talk to their clients and the committee about classified information.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“She (Toensing) got a new top secret security clearance within the last year. And, now, they will not clear her or any of the other lawyers to represent the Department of State people. This is so outrageous,” DiGenova (ormer U.S. Attorney<\/a> Joe DiGenova,\u00a0founding partner of the Washington, D.C. law firm of diGenova & Toensing, LLP<\/a>) said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The question that comes to mind when I read this is, “How much of the information about Benghazi is classified because it needs to be and how much of the information about Benghazi is classified to save face for someone involved?”<\/p>\n

I hope that we have enough people in Congress to pressure the Obama Administration to grant the security clearances to the lawyers so that the attack at Benghazi can be investigated. If there were available forces in the area, America needs to know why they were not deployed and why Americans were left to die.\"Enhanced<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
