“In a statement he released after being fired, Goldstein said: "I was proud to speak on behalf of the Secretary of State to the American people and allies throughout the world and this has been the honor of a lifetime. It's within the purview, you are appointed by the administration and you are appointed for the time being. That is what is listed on your commission and it is determined by the White House who they want in these roles. I don't have regret, other than you always want to try to do more, but I feel proud of what we achieved and I am so impressed by the Secretary of State. He is truly a great man. I look forward to getting more rest and hopefully winning an indoor rowing competition." ”
