| State Dept. blocks Benghazi whistleblowersÂ’ attorneys |
| 2013-04-30 |
| The U.S. State Department is refusing to grant attorneys representing the Benghazi whistleblowers the security clearances needed to interview their clients about classified information, Former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Joe diGenova told WMAL DC radio Monday (relevant segment at the 3:07 mark). DiGenovaÂ’s wife and law partner, Victoria Toensing, was recently retained by one of the State Department whistleblowers who will testify before Congress soon, but she and other attorneys have been blocked from the needed clearances in what is an attempt to prevent testimony, he said. Making this all the more unbelievable, diGenova said, is that Toensing currently holds a top-secret security clearance to represent another client in a separate case, but is now being refused clearance to represent a State Department whistleblower who wants to talk about Benghazi. |

| #5 Does the Sixth Amendment cover preparation for testimony before Congress? I'm not a lawyer. |

| #3 Eh, not so fast Silentbrick. The reason the alleged US State Department whistleblower wants to blow his whistle is to... "testify before Congress soon". No testimony, no book deal, no book deal.... no MONEY. When dealing with upright primates, always follow the money. |

| #1 Making this all the more unbelievable, diGenova said, is that Toensing currently holds a top-secret security clearance to represent another client in a separate case, but is now being refused clearance to represent a State Department whistleblower who wants to talk about Benghazi. The gov't [State Dept or CIA] may have issued caveats for Top Secret Clearance on Benghazi beyond those provided for the other client; all of which begs the question why ? I suspect DiGenova and Toesning are going to hand someone's ass to them over this bullshi* before it's all over. |
