Sidney Blumenthal urged Hillary Clinton to get the White House to “rein” in David Axelrod back in 2010.

In an email released by the State Department Monday night, longtime Clinton confidant Blumenthal reached out to the then-secretary of state to implore her to get the White House to stop President Barack Obama’s political mastermind, who was then officially serving in the White House as his senior advisor, from acting as a spokesman for the administration’s foreign policy.

“Here’s one small but frank thing: Axelrod should not be a foreign policy spokesman on any issue or area. He has badly exacerbated this one,” Blumenthal wrote to Clinton in March 2010, attaching an article criticizing the White House for sending Axelrod on the Sunday political talk shows to condemn what the administration perceived as illegal Israeli settlement building.

“Many people in the press feel he’s out of his lane and resent being lectured by him on foreq..3n policy [sic],” Blumenthal continued. “Foreign Policy magazine website has run a piece on this, reflecting widespread sentiment. (I’ve enclosed this article bellow the TNR one below.)”

“I’d make Steinberg tell Donilon they need to rein in Axelrod,” he went on, presumably referring to then-Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg and Tom Donilon, who was then deputy national security advisor and would later become national security advisor. “Axelrod has enough to do fixing the domestic messes he’s made. Let it come from Steinberg. He’s unhappy anyway.”

Axelrod history is on the Chicago Crime thread. Iirc his first job was with a communist community paper. Rose name comes to mind. Parents have questionable background. Really should go fishing. Just hate getting in the slime

Commentary's Noah Rothman wrote: It was particularly revealing when David Axelrod said that of all his accomplishments in Obama’s White House, he was proudest that “there hasn’t been a major scandal.” The administration’s ethical lapses were MSM reported as merely the peculiar obsessions of addlebrained conservatives..... much of official Washington nodded in agreement as Axelrod patted himself on the back.

THE major scandal yet to be examined is where braindead David Axelrod and the Chicago criminals in our WH got zillions of dollars to finance their self-serving interests.

This jerk Axe actually has a U of Chicago poly/sci dept named after him. Axelrod and the rest of the Chicago mob never have to work a day the rest of their lives.

Here's a clue WRT where they got the money.

Remember, these were the kingpins of Chicago criminal politics that occupied our WH. The stench from the Chicago sleaze permeated the putrid Capitol Hill air... starting w/ Obama's COS Rahm Emanuel.

================================================

THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD shortly after quitting his powerful WH job as Obama's COS, Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago. Then Rahm announced he had magically "raised" $30 million for his campaign in "just a matter of weeks." (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down).

Ya gotta wonder how much the cunning onetime Wall Streeter wired offshore when Obama put Rahm--in a dual role---as his COS....... AND in charge of the entire US Treasury.

================================================

BACKSTORY---THE KINGPINS OF CHICAGO CRIMINAL POLITICS IN OUR WH wasted no time.....they had a stranglehold on the Census, AND the US Treasury, from day one.

The minute Obama/Valerie/Rahm/Axelrod/Geithner, and that Practiced bunch of Chicago criminals, landed in the WH they did two things that were apparently crucial to their evil plans

(a) they took control of the US Census;

(b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (cabinet-level agency oversees IRS).

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials.
