Meet the Men Behind Hillary Clinton's Private 'Spy Network'
Weekly Standard ^ | March 30, 2015 | By Mark Hemingway

Posted on 03/30/2015 1:31:37 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

Two big Clinton stories landed last week. The first is that Hillary Clinton destroyed the electronic copies of her State Department emails on her private server after the State Department subpoenaed her emails. The second is that Hillary Clinton had an aide running a "secret spy network" that was, among other things, feeding her information on Benghazi, according to a report by Pro Publica and Gawker. Earlier this month, I noted the myriad ways that Clinton running her own private email server breathes new life into the Benghazi investigation, but this last revelation takes things to a whole new level.

Specifically, this new report suggests that three men -- Sidney Blumenthal, Tyler Drumhiller, and Cody Shearer -- were involved in her private intelligence gathering efforts. Each of these men has a reputation for being associated with scandal. . .

Guccifer's emails reveal Blumenthal was providing Clinton with detailed intelligence briefings on events in the Middle East and running the ad hoc spy ring. This arrangement is very curious, considering that the Obama White House made it clear that they didn't want Blumenthal working for the administration after Hillary Clinton previously tried to formally hire him to work at the State Department.

If Democrats had even a partical of ethics, Hillary would already be disqualified from running. We know the Clinton’s have no shame, but apparently that extends to the whole Democrat Party. One things for sure, the Republican candidate will have plenty of ammo.

The State Department subpoenaed her emails? That’s not correct is it?

So .. the WH is afraid of Blumenthal ..?? How curious? I wonder what Blumenthal knows about Obama and any of his staff.

Oh to be a fly on the wall overhearing discussions re Blumenthal.

Blumenthal is listed as an adviser to the Clinton Foundation. The foundation is a vehicle that can provide salaries and expenses to political operatives disguised as legitimate foundation personnel.

And the Republican idiots will never use it. Playing the high road gets you nothing, but down and dirty is all the most Americans seem to understand. What a Fuc!!! Country this has become.

But will they have the balls to use it? I think Cruz does but doubt the others would.

The first is that Hillary Clinton (says she) destroyed the electronic copies of her State Department emails on her private server after the State Department subpoenaed her emails.

Don't take her word for it. Seize the server and analyze every electron on it.

I think you are right about Cruz being the only one who will take it to Hillary. He can really dissect her actions from a legal standpoint. As for the others, I’m afraid we might see the same timidness that we saw with Mitt.

Guccifer is still plotting inside his cell. He is anticipating a collaboration with US security services “when the time is right”. He says he has “a lot more material saved in the cloud.”

Gowdy has said that he and his committee don’t have the authority to subpoena the server but the full House probably does. I suppose that means that Boehner is the one to make that happen. IMO she should be under arrest until it is turned over. If this concerned a peon like you or me I’m pretty sure our homes would have been SWATed a few hours after our transgressions had become known.

When all the dust settles from this, I think Boehner ought to be on trial as well, for aiding and abetting due to his failure to investigate/prosecute or take any action whatsoever to protect the American people from this travesty.
