Man oh man, this gentleman is royally pissed off and who can blame him? He gave an exclusive interview to the Daily Beast.
Maxwell had never had any involvement in security or providing security and has never been told what the charges are against him.
Typical Obama Administration "thank you for your service; under the bus you go" method of dealing with scandals.
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 now 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.
