Hillary told diplomats-obtain DNA from foreign officials before Shkreli posted a bounty for her hair

Notorious "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli and former presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton have at least one thing in common: they both wanted to have other people to collect someone else's DNA.

Eight years before this week's abrupt jailing of Shkreli for offering Facebook followers a $5,000 bounty for a sample of Clinton's hair, then-Secretary of State Clinton requested that American diplomats collect "biometric information" — such as DNA — from their foreign counterparts, classified documents show.

Those documents detailing a U.S. diplomatic spy effort, obtained in 2010 by Wikileaks, offer yet another bizarre twist to the already bizarre story of how convicted fraudster Shkreli had his $5 million release bond revoked Wednesday night.

Shkreli, 34, last week in a Facebook post, urged his 70,000 or so followers to grab some of Clinton's hair during her ongoing book tour — and said he would pay $5,000 per hair.

"I must confirm the sequences I already have," wrote Shkreli, who in posts a week before said he had Clinton's DNA and suggested he planned to clone her.

Shkreli later claimed the hair bounty offer was a joke. But unamused federal prosecutors asked a judge to revoke his $5 million bail, saying he was a danger to the community.....

"I must confirm the sequences I already have," wrote Shkreli, who in posts a week before said he had Clinton's DNA and suggested he planned to clone her.

Sounds like a concept for a horror movie!

I keep waiting for someone to lift the flatware from Chelsea Clinton’s seat after a dinner and run a paternity test on it.

Our government is utterly insane. I read somewhere that when the president travels abroad they collect his poop to keep it from falling into foreign hands.

Government has truly turned into a nutty cult that is so far removed from normal Americans that its hard to fathom.

But unamused federal prosecutors asked a judge to revoke his $5 million bail, saying he was a danger to the community..

So, a threat to Clone Hillary is a "danger to the community"? I couldn't agree more!

Now that guy is evil!!!

He should be jailed. Anyone who wants to clone Hillary does not need to be out running loose in public. 8>)

She had made a comment about voodoo the other day....I wonder if she really believes it?

Other possibility: how extensive is “biometrics” used in top security positions? In my brief tour with DoD, I never saw it at all, but it’s been in movies like Never Say Never Again.

I don’t know how easy it would be to pull off in real life.

Crowdfund that and you’d have a $5K reward in about 10 minutes.

What fun it would be to unmask the biggest Clinton deception of all.
