Report: Kerry tells Congress he will not honor request to make Benghazi survivors available
Secretary of State John Kerry has said he will not make the Benghazi survivors available for questioning, according to a tweet by CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson.
As a result, House Republicans say they intend to issue subpoenas if Kerry, who, by the way, served in Vietnam, does not change his mind.
Attkisson tweeted:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Response from Rep. Darrell Issa was swift:

“Somehow, despite the best efforts of Obama administration obfuscation, the memories of the four brave men brutally slaughtered in Benghazi will get the justice they deserve,” Twitchy said.
According to issa, the State Department has either ignored or denied earlier requests for access.
At least some in the GOP House leadership want answers.
Examiner reported:
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the fourth-highest ranking GOP House leader, said Monday in an email to Examiner.com that oversight investigations into the terror attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi last year are ongoing.
“This week we memorialize the four brave Americans who tragically lost their lives at the American Embassy in Benghazi last year. As we pay homage to their legacy, we are emboldened in our search for answers,” she said. “Our oversight investigation in the House is still ongoing.”
Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya last year, and the country is still demanding answers.
