CIA Benghazi
Survivor Suspended For Refusing To Sign Non-Disclosure
At least one CIA

has refused to sign a non-disclosure with the Obama administration, and now
faces suspension and intimidation from administration officials according to a
just released report via the Washington Free Beacon.
Congressman: CIA
Employee Who Refused to Sign Non-Disclosure on Benghazi Suspended
Rep.
Wolf: Employee forced to hire legal counsel
A CIA employee
who refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement barring him from discussing the
Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, has been suspended as a
result and forced to hire legal counsel, according to a top House lawmaker.
Rep. Frank Wolf
(R., Va.) revealed at an event on Monday that his office was anonymously
informed about the CIA employee, who is purportedly facing an internal
backlash after refusing to sign a legal document barring him from publicly or
privately discussing events surrounding the Benghazi attack.
…“My office
received a call from a man saying that he knew a CIA employee who has retained
legal counsel because he has refused to sign an additional NDA regarding the
Sept. 11, 2012, events in Benghazi,” Wolf said in Sept. 9 remarks at a panel
discussion hosted by Judicial Watch.

“I called the
law firm and spoke with CIA employee’s attorney who confirmed that her client
is having an issue with the agency and the firm is trying to address it,” Wolf
said. “Based on my past experiences with the CIA, which is headquartered
in my congressional district, I am not at all confident that these efforts will
be successful.”
The NDA
agreements are meant to instill fear in employees and stop them from speaking
“to the media or Congress,” Wolf said on Monday.
…The newly
formed Citizens’ Commission on Benghazi has similar goals as congressional
investigators but is not confined by rules governing the legislative body,
speakers at the event said.
Retired Air
Force Col. Richard Brauer, cofounder of the group Special Operations Speaks,
said the committee would aim to find out why U.S. military assets were ordered
to “stand down” during the Benghazi attack.
“We’re tired of
the lies and the cover-up that continues to this day,” Brauer said. “Who gave
the order” to stand down, “to remain in place in Tripoli and the other
locations and do nothing. When was this order given and why?”
“Forces were
available on that very night, likely champing at the bit, but they were told to
stand down,” he said.
“These are words that will live in infamy.” LINK
