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 Departments 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 Departments 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.

Pickering and Mullen. Maybe these guys will do the honorable thing and eat a gun.
Billy is just a standard issue good ol' boy with a broken zipper and enough charisma to get laid or elected.
Hillary is the dangerously ambitious one, with a temper and a full load of guile to go with the full diaper load between her ears.
If the Clinton Body Count belongs to anyone in that household, I'd put my money on Hillary. Her "What difference does it make?!?" performance reminds me of that girl in Phoenix.
That you did :)
How I wish I had someone sitting here with me taking notes, I need a flippin spread sheet to keep up!
Thank you for doing such an amazing job, not sure how you do it but so thankful that you do. I still have to re-read your Dot one page. Crazy week at home.
Oh yes, and the attorney for the woman at the head of the IRS scandal notified ISSA's office that she will be pleading the 5th Amendment. I know this is not Benghazi but it is still going to be important.
I keep addimg stuff, but don’t worry. It ain’t going nowhere.
Interesting.
The IRS scandal has a ‘Clinton’ feel to it. I wonder how long the IRS been targeting conservatives... when we get the truth it might be surprising.
The Battling Boys of Benghazi
(Author unknown)
Were the Battling Boys of Benghazi,
no fame, no glory, no paparazzi,
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell,
defending the country we loved so well.
It wasnt our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the consulate, and scaled the wall.
We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate,
led them to safety, and stood at the gate.
Just the two of us, and foes by the score,
but we stood fast, to bar the door,
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
so we fought and we fought, and we fought till we died.
We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
but Barack Obama didnt give a damn.
Just two dead SEALs, who carried the load,
no thanks to us we were just bumps in the road.
“This Raymond Maxwell guy is one ballsy dude. He aint goin down without a fight.”
His honor is already restored in my opinion.
“Just like in Whitewater, she will just sit up there and say I have no recollection of that.”
Where is her highness? I thought she was running in 2016? Where is she? Let’s hear that message Hillary! C’mon, you’re WANTED, grace the masses with your presence!!
Thanks for the ping!
Pickering had best start taking his
“I don’t remember, I don’t recall” pills
this week, to be sure that he is at full
effectiveness next week after he raises his right hand
................. What a heartless whore................
No, Hitlery is colder than a whore’s heart!
Think on how much she is going to OWE to a whole bunch of people. There is no way she should be running for potus, she's compromised on Benghazi alone.
Just a thought.
Nope, Upsteak Gnu Yak! There are some of us left...
He has a new cretin-in-law waiting to swoop in and take over where these two have screwed up...all part of the grand plan to get all of the.money.

And don't spill any."

Thanks Ernest. She hands over hardcopy, states that she *won't* turn over the server, and claims not that she was in compliance with the law -- she broke the law -- but not to worry, the system was secure, *even though we already know that it was hacked more than once.*
