Selected Libya-Related Messages From Hillary Clinton’s Personal Email Account

bubbabgone · May 19, 2015

These emails are related to memos she was sent in 2011 and 2012 by Sidney Blumenthal, a confidant who worked for the administration of former President Bill Clinton and who at the time was employed by the Clinton Foundation.

Clinton Friend’s Memos on Libya Draw Scrutiny to Politics and Business

While advising Mrs. Clinton on Libya, Mr. Blumenthal, who had been barred from a State Department job by aides to President Obama, was also employed by her family’s philanthropy, the Clinton Foundation, to help with research, “message guidance” and the planning of commemorative events, according to foundation officials. During the same period, he also worked on and off as a paid consultant to Media Matters and American Bridge, organizations that helped lay the groundwork for Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

Much of the Libya intelligence that Mr. Blumenthal passed on to Mrs. Clinton appears to have come from a group of business associates he was advising as they sought to win contracts from the Libyan transitional government. The venture, which was ultimately unsuccessful, involved other Clinton friends, a private military contractor and one former C.I.A. spy seeking to get in on the ground floor of the new Libyan economy.

As I mentioned on another thread earlier today, I wonder if Hillary supporters, or even her opponents, will care? Just as Benghazi is a murky and complex issue that doesn't easily lend itself to a 30-second sound bite, the Blumenthal connection is even more complex and requires a bit of thought to understand. But I'm sure Trey Gowdy, who will be interviewing Blumenthal in the near future, is curious to see if there are any dots to be connected between those two things.

They should care.....as it is validation that Hillary was discussing classified information with someone who had no clearance.

Maybe. Maybe not. Him funneling information to her wouldn't have been a breach of classified protocol, but the question lingers, why? Why would be do that? For what purpose? Because he was a concerned citizen who thought she should know? Possible. Not likely, but possible.

My, my, my, and all at the same time she has more to deal with. Things are now moving closer to BO.....and we all know he isn't going to take the fall nor the hit.

A Defense Intelligence Agency memo from Sept. 16, 2012, concluded that the Benghazi terror attack was planned at least 10 days in advance to coincide with 9/11 and was in retaliation for a drone strike that killed an al Qaeda strategist. The memo was copied to the National Security Council, the State Department and the CIA.

“The intention was to attack the consulate and to kill as many Americans as possible to seek revenge for the [U.S.] killing of Aboyahiye (Alaliby) in Pakistan and in memorial of the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center buildings,” the memo said.

Judicial Watch obtained the memos by suing in federal court.....snip~

The email the Romanian Hacker took photos of was concerning Algeria and the Hostage Situation .....It is clear he was in a discussion. I guess Huma Abedin or Chryl Mills can take the hit for Hillary for being on the other end.

He also took pics of the Emails over specific points on Benghazi.

But you can see how complex this is getting and therefore of little interest to most in this sound bite world we have created. And so far both Clintons have definitely been the Teflon duo where nothing seems to stick. When you have a mostly surrogate media covering your back, its tough for your critics to gain much traction.

And couple that with the Democrats seemingly unconcern with credentials, competency, or character of the candidates they champion--that "D" after a person's name is sufficient to qualify them for just about anything--and I have strong doubts this current turn of events will be any more than a minor blip on the landscape. I would very much like to be proved wrong about that because the more those in high office get away with, the more they will be encouraged to do whatever they darn well please with expectations that will be ignored too.

CPW has a thread up on this concern the Demos are starting to have. Even Hillary's own people. Its going to be like the Cuts of a 1000 knives. All trickling out for her entire campaign.

Just knowing Blumenthal was using his access to Hillary to drum up business for himself is worth a portion of an ad.
And that renews a discussion of Hillary while SofS and the Clinton Foundation.
And we haven't even mentioned Sid and his Media Matters connection.
And then there's the emails.
Imagine what other personal emails were probably erased as allegedly having nothing to do with her in her position as SofS.

Heya B, check out what I just posted in CPWs thread. The Repubs even put it up as evidence on the GOP Website. Making sure all of the MS media knows about this, huh?
