Bombshell: Govt Official Says Hillary Spearheaded Benghazi Review, Not Independent Board
Daily Beast copied onto Freedom Outpost ^ | May 21, 2013 | Tim Brown

Posted on 05/21/2013 4:58:37 PM PDT by EXCH54FE

One of the four State Department employees, who was recently disciplined by their former boss Hillary Clinton, has broken his silence concerning Benghazi and has leveled some very big charges at the former Secretary of State. He is now indicating that the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her staff were the ones that led the review of the Benghazi attacks, not an independent board.

The Daily Beast reports,

Raymond Maxwell was placed on forced “administrative leave” after the State Department’s own internal investigation, conducted by an Administrative Review Board (ARB) led by former State Department official Tom Pickering. Five months after he was told to clean out his desk and leave the building, Maxwell remains in professional and legal limbo, having been associated publicly with the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American for reasons that remain unclear.

Maxwell, who served as deputy assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs from August 2011 until his removal last December, following tours in Iraq and Syria, spoke publicly for the first time in an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast.

“The overall goal is to restore my honor,” said Maxwell, who has filed grievances regarding his treatment with the State Department’s Human Resources Bureau and the American Foreign Service Association, which represents the interests of foreign-service officers. The other three officials placed on leave were in the Diplomatic Security Bureau, leaving Maxwell as the only official in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs (NEA), which had responsibility for Libya, to lose his job.

“I had no involvement to any degree with decisions on security and the funding of security at our diplomatic mission in Benghazi,” he said.

This would be interesting. IF barry is out to clobber hillary, I wonder where soros and his merry band of freaks comes in. hillary is a best bud of old georgie.

I thought at first it was the powers that be wanting to cripple barry, to make way for her thighness. Now, things have shifted.

Let the games begin.

Getting all of it into a sworn affidavit with multiple notarized copies stashed in safe places would be a very prudent move.

Lives and jobs are expendable when it comes to the political ambitions of the incompetent pig slut Hilary Clinton. She is one nasty piece of shit. Who in their right mind would want to work for such a selfish whore? The only thing Hillary The Whore cared about on 9/11 was her political ambitions. She would have let all 130 of the Benghazi staff die to protect her political future. What a heartless whore.

If Hillary drinks a fifth before she comes to the hearing, she might forget to take the fifth at the hearing ... and might actually make an honest statement or two.

RE: "I guess the answer is... He was campaigning...."

I would think your guess earns the sixty five thousand dollar prize. :)
Pandora's box has been opened. With so many scandals lining up for continued prime time news to seek answers to.
They sure screwed the pooch big time when they went after legit news reporters. ABC,CNN,and CBS don't seem to be in protective mode at this point.
And now with additional whistle blowers on the Benghazi affair ready to soon testify. The shit is hitting the fan.

I don’t see how this is a big deal. Pickering and Mullen didn’t have anything to say about this? Help me out here.

I think it's both. It's a little internicine warfare between tyrants.
