STATE DEPT. SUGGESTS BENGHAZI SURVIVORS DON'T WANT TO TESTIFY, *UPDATE* ISSA'S COMMITTEE RESPONDS

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki did not directly deny to reporters Wednesday that Benghazi survivors were being withheld from testifying before Congress, suggesting instead that House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is mistaken to assume any of the survivors do want to testify.

Psaki went on the defensive Wednesday when Associated Press reporter Matt Lee asserted that she was giving contradictory statements concerning the Benghazi survivors. Psaki said these survivors were still involved in the criminal investigation surrounding the attacks which happened a year ago Wednesday, and it would endanger the lives of the survivors and their families to reveal their identities.

Psaki started off by saying that the State Department is "not preventing... any employees who wish to tell their story from doing so."

It was a CIA gun running op and "interrogation" center. The employees are crapping their pants every day, wondering if some "accident" is going to end their lives. Dead people can't testify and I'm sure they've been reminded of that. Off the record, of course.

If you want to die you will testify.
