So now libs are wanting to continue this culture as they start promoting Hillary for 2016
We've been covering two active and distinct State Department scandals -- both dating back to the Hillary Clinton era, and both featuring politically motivated cover-ups: First, the Benghazi attack, and second, the more recent revelations (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2013/06/11/state-department-scandal-deepens-amidst-sordid-allegations-n1617564) about numerous instances of improper department interference into sensitive internal investigations. The known Benghazi whistleblowers (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2013/05/09/the-damning-dozen-twelve-revelations-from-the-benghazi-hearings-n1591336) are named Hicks, Thompson, and Nordstrom. Then there's Inspector General investigator Aurelia Fedenisn, who's exposed quite a lot of nasty business that State Department higher-ups appear eager to bury. As punishment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AvMBnA0A2mA) for his truth-telling, Gregory Hicks was harassed, reprimanded and demoted. Now Fedenisn is alleging that she, too, is facing the wrath (http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/06/17/exclusive_whistleblower_says_state_department_tryi ng_to_bully_her_into_silence) of State Department brass. As Katie noted (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2013/06/18/state-department-whistleblower-now-facing-retaliation-and-intimidation-n1622005) earlier (it bears repeating) the message she's inferred isn't complicated -- shut up:
The State Department investigator who accused colleagues last week of using drugs, soliciting prostitutes, and having sex with minors says that Foggy Bottom is now engaged in an “intimidation” campaign to stop her. Last week’s leaks by Aurelia Fedenisn, a former State Department inspector general investigator, shined a light on alleged wrongdoing by U.S. officials around the globe. But her attorney Cary Schulman tells The Cable that Fedenisn has paid a steep price: “They had law enforcement officers camp out in front of her house, harass her children and attempt to incriminate herself.”
Fedenisn's life changed dramatically last Monday after she handed over documents and statements to CBS News alleging that senior State Department officials “influenced, manipulated, or simply called off” several investigations into misconduct. The suppression of investigations was noted in an early draft of an Inspector General report, but softened in the final version...After the CBS News made inquiries to the State Department about the charges, Schulman says investigators from the State Department’s Inspector General promptly arrived at Fedenisn’s door. “They talked to both kids and never identified themselves,” he said. “First the older brother and then younger daughter, a minor, asking for their mom’s place of work and cell phone number … They camped out for four to five hours.”
