And remember......Blumenthal was pocketing $10,000 per month when hired by the Clinton Foundation...Bill ballyhooed the $325, 0000 Blumenthal hire as the person who would 'advance Bill's presidential legacy.'

Hillary Clinton Adviser Sidney Blumenthal Had Financial Stake In US Libya Policy
IBT Media ^ | October 08 2015 | Jackie Salo /FR Posted by george76

Dateline Benghazi: Blumenthal was a principal character in Hillary Clinton's Libyan policy discussions, even though he was neither an official adviser nor an impartial party, according to Trey Gowdy, Republican chairman of the House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack.

Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina claims there was a financial stake for Blumenthal in Libya as he pressed for Clinton to intervene. "Blumenthal was not merely acting as a steward of information to Secretary Clinton but was acting as her de facto political adviser," Gowdy said in a blistering letter to Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the Benghazi panel's top Democrat.

"While Blumenthal, an old friend of Clinton's, admittedly knew little about Libya and had not ever been to Libya, Clinton seemingly read every one of his emails on the topic that began appearing out of nowhere in February 2011," Gowdy continued.

Blumenthal's motivation revealed -- money ... at the same time Blumenthal was pushing Secretary Clinton to war in Libya, he was privately pushing a business interest of his own in Libya that stood to profit from contracts with the new Libyan government... a government that would exist only after a successful U.S. intervention in Libya that deposed Qaddafi,” Gowdy wrote, referring to former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.

Gowdy writes that Blumenthal maintained a frequent dialogue with Clinton about US policy in the country -- nearly half of the emails Clinton received regarding Benghazi and Libya prior to the attacks involved him. Blumenthal, who served as a former White House aide to her husband, was not employed in any official capacity at the time of their correspondence. (Excerpt) Read more at ibtimes.com ...

After a Republican is elected president, and takes control of the executive branch, what happens to all the emails that State, Homeland Security, and the IRS have been sitting on in the many scandals..they’ve refused to release them..ignoring FOIA requests and even Congressional supboenas..but what happens after Obama is gone?

The Clintons are known for being cheap - if they were paying Sidney that much he was giving more back... yeah, he profited from contracts but we know the big money moved toward the Clintons... it'll be interesting to find out what that was...

Hillary is so dishonest, and does not care who it hurts, as long as it helps HER!
