Controversial Clinton ally trashed 'alcoholic' John Boehner in emails to Hillary
Business Insider ^ | 9-1-15 | Hunter Walker

Posted on 09/01/2015 1:31:51 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime Hillary Clinton friend who was an unofficial adviser while she was secretary of state, is trailed by reporters as he takes a lunch break from being deposed in private session of the House Select Committee on Benghazi at the U.S. Capitol in Washington June 16, 2015.

A new batch of messages from Hillary Clinton's private email account that was released on Monday evening shows she received advice about political strategy from her controversial confidante Sidney Blumenthal in the leadup to the 2010 midterm elections. Blumenthal's suggestions focused on attacking Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Boehner became speaker of the House of Representatives after the GOP's spate of victories in the 2010 race. In the weeks surrounding the election Blumenthal sent multiple messages to Clinton about Boehner. Among other things, Blumenthal called Boehner an "old scandal ridden hack Republican" and described him as "louche, alcoholic, lazy, and without any commitment to any principle."

Boehner's office did not respond to a request for comment on this story Monday evening.

The messages were part of the fourth batch of emails from Clinton's private account that was released by the State Department on Monday. In May, a federal judge ordered the agency to release Clinton's emails from her time as secretary of state on a rolling basis at the end of each month. Clinton's use of a private email address for official business while she led the State Department from 2009 through 2013 has led to an ongoing scandal as she embarks on her presidential campaign. Critics argue Clinton's private email server may have violated regulations and compromised sensitive information. Clinton and her team have steadfastly maintained her email practices were safe and in compliance with all rules and regulations.

It appears there is one thing re politics that would bring me to agree with the vile Mr Blumenthal.

Bonehead is slime. Vile slime. Even more vile than Blumenthal, who at least shows his low IQ and morals by openly admitting that he is a liberal.

Bonehead, however, deserves to be three levels below the bottom t*rd in the most rotten septic tank in the multiverse.

And forced to drink.

Not too many years ago, my son had occasion to interact with Congress and told me that Boehner is an alcoholic and that everyone knows it. He needs rehab - not SOTH.

Not seeing an issue. He’s been drinking liberal sXit for a number of years now and recycling it back on his voters.

Boehner’s speakership is a sign of the GOPe’s insanity.

Other then further pointing out he is a treasonous rino, I could not have said it better myself, everybody has Boner’s number, he is one of the liberal democrat communist party’s best friend and even they are disgusted by him.

Alcoholism is a blackmail threat in a national security position which could explain quite a bit.

Finally, a grain of truth from the left.

I’ve been saying for years that John Boehner is a pathetic drunk.
I am correct.

WOW!!!!! Scary when the enemy has an important (by title) member of the GOP correct.

It’s also a disability under the ADA. Time for John-John the Human Cheetoh to go away. If any of the GOP conservatives are really upset about Boehner (and I have my doubts) time to file a petition and have him evaluated, declared disabled, and put him out to pasture with a tax-free disability payment.

"Can you print the memo w/out any identifiers?" Clinton asked.

None of the emails Mrs. Bill sent were marked "Top Secret."

I don’t buy for a minute that these emails are real.

A team of writers concocted them to use as DISINFORMATION tools for the Establishment.

Anyone who has studied old time Cold War espionage knows how a spy plants disinformation like this to get their point across.

It’s utter B.S. and once you realize the delay in the release of Clinton and Lerner’s emails has to do with the fact they are being concocted and written from scratch,reveals the Establishment’s motives. I.e. they have a LOT more on Boehner than drinking. LOL.

We have a hoax government. That’s all it is folks... a HOAX.
