4 months after GRS team members were made to sign new NDAs in an attempt to silence them, then-CIA Director John Brennan wrote a letter to congressional oversight committees denying even presenting the #Benghazi survivors with NDAs to sign. (1/8) 
Responding to the question “Has any officer, either staff of contractor, been required to sign any non-disclosure agreement because of their presence at Benghazi or their participation in any activity related to the Benghazi attacks?” Brennan falsely answered "No." (2/8)
Brennan and his defenders changed their story each time their previous claims proved difficult to defend, digging themselves a deeper hole lie after lie: (3/8)
First, the claim was that there had been no effort whatsoever to keep anyone from talking, that no one was asked to sign an additional non-disclosure agreement, and that anyone suggesting otherwise was lying. (4/8)
When presented with evidence that some CIA officers involved in #Benghazi were asked to sign additional NDAs, the story changed: Okay, maybe some officers were asked to sign additional NDAs, but those NDAs were standard operating procedure. (5/8)
When presented with claims that some of the NDAs were legally unnecessary, the story changed again: Okay, it’s possible some of the NDAs were redundant, but they had nothing to do with #Benghazi. (6/8)
But when presented with evidence that some Benghazi officers were asked to sign NDAs at the memorial service honoring CIA officers killed in #Benghazi, the story changed once more: (7/8)
The final, and once again false, explanaion was: Okay, but the NDAs didn’t actually mention #Benghazi, and they were necessary in order to process payments for the officers to attend the memorial service. (8/8)
