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.

No, I’m not surprised. This is vintage Hillary in her Whitewater mode. The woman can’t help herself. She’s a hands on terror when there’s trouble brewing.

She’ll be her own undoing eventually. I expect to see her carried out kicking and screaming with drool leaking down her front at some point.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving mental case.

Obama is out to get Hillary.

Yep. And she's returning the favor. So, does he let her testify under oath that the Benghazi call to stand down came from him? Or does she just threaten to? Scorpions in a bottle, and frankly if they stung each other the country would be better off.

Looking worse and worse for Amb. Pickering and Admiral Mullen.

No honor.

Just like in Whitewater, she will just sit up there and say “I have no recollection of that.” What do you think the head injury scam was all about?

Thanks for the ping, I did miss this one. It’s been a whirlwind week or so, the dam has broken. Just not sure if it’s by design or not.
