[Townhall] John "Tig" Tiegen, one of the men who survived the fatal attack in Benghazi on September 12, 2012, appeared at SHOT Show 2019 to promote his nonprofit, Beyond the Battlefield The Tiegen Foundation. A court recently decided that multiple Obama State Department officials must answer Judicial Watch's questions surrounding Benghazi. Naturally, I wanted to know how Tiegen felt about the situation."I don't think they're going to be truthful anyways. I mean, they've already lied before," Tiegen told Townhall. "Even though they say, 'Well, now they're testifying under oath.'"
According to Tiegen, he believes those State Department officials who know what truly happened in Benghazi, will more than likely plead the fifth.
"I don't think they're going to be open and honest. That's just their track record. That's how they've always been," Tiegen explained. "When they know they're going to be screwed over they get to plead the fifth."
No one can blame Tiegen for thinking nothing will come out of these questions. After all, we've gone years without any kind of truthful account of what happened. The officials in charge aren't afraid of seeing jail time. They clearly don't have any remorse for what took place back in 2012. If they haven't told the truth this far, they have no incentive to do so now.
