Escalating his investigation of the deadly terrorist attack on the
U.S. Consulate in Benghazi last year, Rep. Darrell Issa warned CIA and
other government officials Wednesday to lawyer-up in preparation for a
massive probe.
The California Republican who chairs the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee sent letters Wednesday suggesting that some
witnesses lawyer up before being called to testify, The Hill reported.
He also suggested that some witnesses should be prepared for
retaliation from their employer, depending on their responses.
“Some witnesses may be required to retain personal counsel to
represent them before the committee and in the event the agency
subsequently retaliates against them for cooperating with the
committee’s investigation,” the California Republican who chairs the
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said in separate letters
to the CIA, State Department, and Pentagon.
