fox news has cia employees were made to sign dee the fact each had signed them prior to the attack. some republican lawmakers see the obama administration thwarting cooperation with congress, too. nearly six months ago i wrote secretary kerry asking for the names and contact information of the state department employees who were in benghazi last september. the department refused to provide this information or even confirm the number of those wounded and the nature of their injuries. the cia enabled all officers involved in benghazi the opportunity to meet with congress, agency spokesman dean boyd shot back in a statement to fox news saying, we are not aware of any employees who has been prevented from sharing a concern with congress about the benghazi incident. and at least one survivor of benghazi has aired his story to
baer. now a national security analyst for cnn. if somebody is being polygraphed every month or every two months it s called an issue polygraph. that means the polygraph division suspects something. or they re looking for something. or they re on a fishing expedition. but it s absolutely not routine at all to be polygraphed monthly or bimonthly or whatever. reporter: in a statement from cia public affairs director dean boyd, the agency asserted it s being open with congress. the cia has worked closely with its oversight committees to provide them with an extraordinary amount of information related to the attack on u.s. facilities in benghazi, the statement reads. cia employees are always free to speak to congress if they want. and that the cia enabled all officers involved in benghazi the opportunity to meet with congress. we are not aware of any cia employee who has experienced retaliation, including any
affairs at the cia, victoria nuland at the state department, ben rhodes, and tommy vietor at the national security security council, sean turner, director of the office of national intelligence, dean boyd at the department of justice, and eric pelton at the u.s. u.n. office. so we ve got a bunch of communications people. why are all these communications people setting out the definition of what happened in benghazi? it strikes me, they ought to be smaller players in, this there ought to be bigger players. the second thing that strikes me is, victoria nuland is clearly driving the antagonism toward the cia-drafted points. there s an interesting email she sends out in which she says, at 9:24 p.m. on friday night, these don t resolve all my issues or those of my building leadership. they are consulting with nss. some unnamed boss of hers is consulting with the nss, which is the national security staff, meaning the white house.
however there s something more insidious about this. in the aftermath of that, they have been sworn to secrecy, told to take lie detector tests, not allowed to speak to anyone, they re fearful not only of their own safety but their family s safety. it is almost like they re living in a regime, in a dictatorshidi i want to read a statement from the cia today. dean boyd, kind of a blast from my past, used to work with me in the bush administration said cia employees are always free to speak to congress if they want to and there is no established process to facilitate such communication on a confidential basis. the cia enabled all officers voz h involved in benghazi the opportunity to meet with congress. bob, you know how that works, if you want to talk to members of congress, there s a special procedure you can go through. where do you think the truth lies in this? i think most were there in
personnel on the ground in benghazi the night of september 11 that were forced to sign nondisclosure agreements, even though all five already signed such documents with the clear understanding they were being discouraged from sharing recollections of the attack with the news media. that s not consistent with the law and leads to a general belief you shouldn t talk to congress, that s obstruction, it is illegal under the statutes. reporter: officials at langley dispute the spy agency discouraged them talking to lawmakers. the cia enabled all officers involved the opportunity to meet with congress, agency spokesman dean boyd told fox news, adding we are not aware of any cia employee that experienced retaliation, including any nonroutine security procedures, or who has been prevented from sharing a concern with congress about the benghazi incident. at the white house, continuing discussion of benghazi is dismissed as partisan attempt to gin up phony scandals. whether it is about the
