This
comes perilously close to being ‘too bad to be true’ territory. Meet
Ray Maxwell, former Deputy Assistant Secretary at the State Department
– and one of the people fingered, then cleared, of wrongdoing in the
Benghazi ambassador disaster. (He since has retired, having
served for
over two decades. And also, yeah, the entire ‘pariah’ thing.) Mr.
Maxwell is now testifying that Hillary Clinton loyalists organized a
band of plumbers* to sanitize the relevant files between said disaster,
and the inevitable investigation:
When
he arrived, Maxwell says he observed boxes and stacks of documents. He
says a State Department office director, whom Maxwell described as
close to Clinton’s top advisers, was there. Though the office director
technically worked for him, Maxwell says he wasn’t consulted about her
weekend assignment.
“She
told me, ‘Ray, we are to go through these stacks and pull out anything
that might put anybody in the [Near Eastern Affairs] front office or
the seventh floor in a bad light,’” says Maxwell. He says “seventh
floor” was State Department shorthand for then-Secretary of State
Clinton and her principal advisors.
“I
asked her, ‘But isn’t that unethical?’ She responded, ‘Ray, those are
our orders.’ ”
Full
Monstrosity
This is the 2nd reason nobody wants to hire a plumber.
