Possibly the most remarkable circumstance of this entire Benghazi affair, with its murder of four Americans including an ambassador (something that used to be considered an act of war back in the real world)....
....is that, more than six months later, the President of the United States still doesn't know very much about it.
And that's after six months of promises that he will "find out exactly what you are referring to".

Obama: 'I'm Not Familiar' With Benghazi Whistleblowers Being Threatened

President Barack Obama said today at a press conference that he's "not familiar" with reports that Benghazi whistleblowers are being threatened:
"I'm not familiar with this notion that anybody has been blocked from testifying," said Obama. "So what I'll do is i will find out what exactly you are referring to."
Fox News has reported that whistleblowers are being blocked:
At least four career officials at the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency have retained lawyers or are in the process of doing so, as they prepare to provide sensitive information about the Benghazi attacks to Congress, Fox News has learned.
Victoria Toensing, a former Justice Department official and Republican counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, is now representing one of the State Department employees. She told Fox News her client and some of the others, who consider themselves whistle-blowers, have been threatened by unnamed Obama administration officials.
I'm not talking generally, I'm talking specifically about Benghazi that people have been threatened, Toensing said in an interview Monday. And not just the State Department. People have been threatened at the CIA.
It's frightening, and they're doing some very despicable threats to people, she said. Not we're going to kill you, or not we're going to prosecute you tomorrow, but they're taking career people and making them well aware that their careers will be over [if they cooperate with congressional investigators].
