State Department's Benghazi Resignations Were FAKE

State Department's Benghazi Resignations Were FAKE

When is a resignation not a resignation?  Apparently when you are forced to resign from Obama's state department.   According to today's NY Post...the four sacrificial lambs, who were forced to quit because of their mistakes leading to the deaths at the US Mission in Benghazi are ALL keeping their jobs after a little hiatus.

The highest-ranking official caught up in the scandal, Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell, has not “resigned” from government service, as officials said last week. He is just switching desks. And the other three are simply on administrative leave and are expected back.

The four were made out to be sacrificial lambs in the wake of a scathing report issued last week that found that the US compound in Benghazi, Libya, was left vulnerable to attack because of “grossly inadequate” security.

...In response to questions from The Post, the State Department would only reissue the carefully crafted statement put out last week.

Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton “has accepted Eric Boswell’s decision to resign as assistant secretary for diplomatic security, effective immediately.” What Nuland omitted was that Boswell gave up only the presidential appointment as assistant secretary, not his other portfolios.

The other officials — Deputy Assistant Secretaries Charlene Lamb and Raymond Maxwell, and a third who has not been identified — were found to have shown “performance inadequacies” but not “willful misconduct,” Pickering said, so they would not face discipline.

This looks as though the Benghazi coverup is continuing at the State Department.  Remember we still haven't heard from Obama, or Clinton (Who were not questioned as part of the Accountability Review Board report) in fact Mrs. Clinton has not been seen in public for almost two weeks--she must have had one heck of a concussion.
