Even as Hillary Clinton pops up in Iowa (testing the waters, obviously), a new allegation has surfaced in the Benghazi probe. Raymond Maxwell, a retired State Department official who was head of the DOS Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, has claimed that he walked in on a Sunday meeting in the State Department basement where Clinton aides under the direction of Clinton's chief of staff Cheryl Mills were pulling out any documents that would have embarrassed Clinton so they would not be turned over to the Accountability Review Board, which was conducting an investigation into Benghazi.

If true, this would constitute criminal cover-up. For starters, I suggest the House select committee bring in that unnamed employee who worked for Maxwell and get her sworn testimony. They can also check DOS records to see who signed in on that Sunday.
Here is another question: Since Maxwell has previously related these events, should not somebody in the Justice Department/FBI have already done these things?
Well, they should have. Whether the Eric Holder-led Justice Department has done it is another question.

Really Gary,
"At this time, what difference does it make!"
OK, it makes a lot of difference. One remembers Clinton and Obama and Rice, all broadcasting that the Benghazi incident was a video, to the UN, to the parents of the deceased and to American citizens via five major media outlets.
If the allegations are true, Clinton needs to go to jail, not the White House. The media needs to cover this, but they are in the tank with the Progressive ideologues in the Administration and Democrats. If this major scandal was performed by Republicans, the MSM would have multiple orgasms and fill the front pages of their left-wing rags, for days.
