Exclusive: House Benghazi panel subpoenas former Clinton White House aide (Sidney Blumenthal)
Reuters ^ | 5/20/2015 | Mark Hosenball

Congressional investigators have issued a subpoena demanding that former Clinton White House adviser Sidney Blumenthal testify next month before the House of Representatives committee investigating the 2012 attack on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya.

The subpoena, a copy of which was made available to Reuters, demands that Blumenthal appear before the House committee on June 3 to give a deposition. The subpoena is dated Monday but carries a notation indicating an unnamed deputy U.S. marshal served it on Blumenthal's wife on Tuesday.

The copy of the subpoena contains no further details about the subject matter of the deposition.

"I can confirm Mr. Blumenthal has been called for a deposition by the committee," Jamal Ware, a spokesman for Republican Representative Trey Gowdy, the Benghazi committee chairman, said in response to a Reuters query.

More than two years ago, a set of emails sent by Blumenthal to Hillary Clinton while she served as secretary of state were posted on the Internet by a hacker who called himself Guccifer. Blumenthal did not work for Clinton when she was secretary of state and sent those emails as a private individual.

The emails included detailed private intelligence reports on events in Libya sent to Blumenthal by Tyler Drumheller, a former senior CIA officer. Some of the emails were sent around the time of the Benghazi attacks on and discussed information Drumheller's sources gave him about the attack.

Will he actually be under oath, or is this one of those “information-gathering” exercises?

If he's being subpoenaed, then he would be under oath.

Not that committing a little perjury ever troubled Sidney Blumenthal.

My guess is that he will take the 5th to the max. He is not one to desert Hillary if he can avoid it. A vivid image of Vince Foster is inscribed in his head.

And then what?

What difference does it make? Until one of these criminals is frogmarched by the sargent-at-arms to the congressional jail in cuffs nothing will change. But should that happen, you know that the Slimes and the Compost would get their progressive panties in a twist and hyperventilate over "fascism."

This is the same Sidney “Sid Vicious” Blumenthal that was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury by Ken Star. After day one of testimony Sidney emerged to tell the media he had been questioned extensively about Clinton’s sex life and sex habits. He was actually NO such questions. The next day certain Grand Jury members asked him why he lied to the media about his testimony. He just smirked and essentially told them to bugger off.

Wondering whether he wants to wade through 55,000 printed pages of Hillary!’s private emails that are “under State Dempartment control”.

“A vivid image of Vince Foster is inscribed in his head”

Yep, and possibly Ron Brown for that matter, although one would have to be a little paranoid like me to believe that one.

There was a second part : a letter written to Hill’s lawyer threatening arrest if she doesn’t turn over her server.

Getting nothing here. The communists club of powerful Democrats have circled the wagon many years ago and the circle is more powerful now than ever. Until the Republicans get the White House nothing will ever happen. And even then we have so many RINOs in the Party that still I have doubts.

justice will be served but the main-stream media (bought and paid for liars) can be counted on to tell U.S. citizens a lie! Poor media thinks they have a plan to escape ....
