'My Role': Emails Raise New Questions About Sid Blumenthal's 'Projects'
The Daily Caller ^ | 1-12-16 | Chuck Ross

The latest release of Hillary Clinton’s emails raises new questions about her friend Sidney Blumenthal's "role" in the Clinton orbit, including whether he planned to work simultaneously at the State Department and the Clinton Foundation.

The latest release of Clinton's State Department emails includes a June 28, 2009 memo from Blumenthal to Clinton entitled "My role, Germany, Iran, etc." In it, Blumenthal revealed to Clinton that he had talked to Doug Band, a top aide to former President Bill Clinton and, at the time, an adviser at the Clinton Foundation.

"I spoke with Doug Band yesterday, discussed things with him, and we will go from there," Blumenthal wrote in his June memo. "It would be helpful if you and I speak soon to define parameters of what projects I should pursue."

What Blumenthal meant by "projects" is not made clear in the memo or any other correspondence between the longtime friends.

Clinton had sought to bring Blumenthal to the State Department. The journalist-turned-political operative had worked in the Bill Clinton White House and on then-Sen. Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. But Blumenthal's work on that campaign - which involved him circulating discredited stories about Obama to his journalist contacts - had made many enemies in the Obama White House. And so, according an Aug. 2009 New York Times report, Obama's chief of staff at the time, Rahm Emanuel, informed Clinton in July that Blumenthal could not work at the State Department.

He’s a vile, nasty troll of a man. Anything bad that happens to him is for the good of humanity in my book.

It would be curious to see Hillary win the election in November, and then witness the episode of Sid Blumenthal being hired as special adviser to Hillary.

One might ask how the Clinton Foundation would do during a eight-year Hillary episode.

IIRC, the operative phrase is “No controlling legal authority” and that was coined by Al Gore if memory serves me.

Say what?

""My role, Germany, Iran, etc." "

What's been going on there lately that the State Department and/or the Klinton foundation might be messing around with?

Good political cartoons can be great ways to get a point across, quickly with minimal words.

We can use these great cartoons to hammer the Clintoons and their evil supporters.

Sidney Blumenthal is one of the top two or three most loathsome people in American politics. He is complete amoral scum. He should have been in jail a decade ago. Hopefully he will end up in jail.

In 2017, hopefully our new President with a real AG will open investigations on the Clintoon/Obama Criminals. The FBI can present the criminal data, and these criminals can be found guilty and sentenced for their crimes.

Keep the prison in Gitmo open for these bastards and the Islamic terrorists buddies of Obama/Clinton/Holder/Lynch who want to kill innocent Americans. Let them enjoy each other for the rest of their lives.
