Whistleblower Lawyer: ARB's Gen Pickering 'Became Physically Ill' At The Thought of Dealing With Hillary from Breitbart Feed When the Accountability Review Board’s report on Benghazi came out, last December, John Bolton noted that the State Dept. was basically investigating itself, and suggested that their assertions might not hold up to scrutiny. It looks like the ARB's findings are indeed not holding up to scrutiny. The report is being savaged by the attorneys who are representing material witnesses who they say were ignored by the ARB. Washington power couple Victoria Toensing and her husband Joseph diGenova, who are each representing a whistleblower who will testify Wednesday at the House Oversight and Reform hearing on Benghazi, appeared on Geraldo Saturday night to talk about the case. Toensing will be representing Gregory Hicks, Foreign Service Officer and former Deputy Chief of Mission/Chargé d’Affairs in Libya. di Genova is representing Mark Thompson, the Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism. Toensing told Geraldo that “the things that her client will be saying will be contradictory to what the administration’s scenario was.” Di Genova promised that “what will come out of the hearing is that the Accountability Review Board conducted by General Pickering and Admiral Mullen will be proven to have been a cover-up - one of the worst jobs ever done in the history of governmental reporting….didn’t even interview the Sec. of State for their report and how you can do a Benghazi investigation and not interview the Sec of State and not interview a series of people who were intimately involved in Benghazi and asked to be interviewed and were declined to be interviewed. The Benghazi report by the ARB is a cover up”, di Genova repeated. According to di Genova, when Pickering was told that he was going to have to deal with the “seventh floor” – aka Hillary – he was told that the General became physically ill and didn’t want to deal with it. “Did the government cover up the facts and circumstances that lead to the tragic deaths of four heroic Americans?” Geraldo asked. “There were material witnesses who wanted to talk and they were not allowed to talk to the Accountability Review Board”, di Genova answered, adding that<span style="font-size:1.3em;"> he’d like to know where the pictures and videos are of Obama on the night of the attack.</span>

Sunday Shows: Democrats Back Away from Obama on Benghazi, Syria from Breitbart Feed Democrats on Sunday morning's news shows appeared to back away from President Barack Obama on his administration's response to the Benghazi terror attack and his blurry "red line" on Syria's chemical weapons. On Fox News Sunday, Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) admitted that the Obama administration's talking points on Benghazi, edited to remove references to extremism and blaming protests against an anti-Islamic YouTube video for the violence, were "false. They were wrong. There were no protests outside the Benghazi compound." On CBS News' Face the Nation, Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD), the Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, also acknowledged that the administration's talking points were wrong, though putting the changes down to the fact that the intelligence changed over time in a "volatile situation." Meanwhile, on Syria, former Rep. Jane Harman, a prominent California Democraet, acknowledged on NBC News' Meet the Press that the Obama administration had been slow to respond: "I wish we had acted sooner." Republicans remain divided on the Syria issue, but on Benghazi the caucus anticipates a week of testimony that will prove deeply damaging to the Obama administration, as well as the media's attempts to protect him.
