Rep. Issa Blasts State Dept. for Not Disciplining Employees over Benghazi

Lack of responsibility

|

Rep. Darrell Issa blasted the State Department for not taking disciplinary action on four employees who were cited as having "a lack of proactive leadership" in the run-up to the attack last year on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, responding to a letter from State in response to his query about the status of the four employees, called the delayed decision on the four employees a "charade that included false reports of firings and resignations and now ends in a game of musical chairs where no one misses a single day on the State Department payroll."
