Exclusive: Hillary's Benghazi 'Scapegoat' Speaks Out
The Daily Beast ^ | May 20, 2013 | Josh Rogin

Posted on 05/20/2013 9:07:05 PM PDT by Xcoastie

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 now 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.

My daughter has compared Hillary’s changing appearance to that of the Dorian Gray picture. Says every line, every wrinkle is a reflection of the evil in her heart.


Your daughter is right. Hitlery is as wicked as any woman who ever lived, IMO.

“it called out Maxwell for the specific infraction of not reading his daily classified briefings”

So Maxwell gets the can for following the lead of Obimbo?

This is why Obama has not fired many people: THEY MIGHT TALK!

This is why he couldn't fire HRC or Holder or a host of others.

Criminal organization cannot simply fire someone. Ex-employees might decide to get even & “drop a dime”. Maxwell is now dropping a dime. There will be others.

Incessant double standards. Valarie Plame was a “valiant whistle blower” but Hicks is called what by these smarmy jerks?

“Looks like Maxwell got the ‘Gregory Hicks’ treatment. Is Maxwell a heterosexual white male too?”

He is a black male, which is even better.
