The New York Times reported Monday on email records showing that Mr. Blumenthal was on the payroll of the Clinton Foundation at the same time he was being paid by groups helping Mrs. Clinton’s presidential run, at the same time he was advising a U.S. business seeking Libyan contracts, at the same time he was secretly advising Secretary of State Clinton about Libya. Every top American diplomat apparently needs a good man Friday who no one else knows about.
The news raises questions about whether Mr. Blumenthal’s work with Mrs. Clinton at State in any way benefited his private dealings, or how any of it fit into his work for the foundation. Mr. Blumenthal isn’t talking, and Mrs. Clinton’s emails are still conveniently being vetted for future release by the State Department (at least the ones she didn’t erase).

No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

Sid The Squid.
My memory says Sid the Knife was the moniker back when...
Lordie, Lordie .. how I wish I didn’t know who Sid Blumenthal is. Maybe the worst of the worst. Not a gram of redeeming social value. Worse than Carvillle, the Forehead, Podesta, even Bill Clinton himself, combined.
He very nearly took out Drudge...he is PURE EVIL.
Short answer to those "questions"...
Of course it benefited his private dealings, you idiots!
and he was party to a setup to take down the Drudgereport.
i don’t believe for a second that he wasn’t privy to what was going to happen in advance.
the Clintons wanted Drudge gone and an anonymous source supposedly fed a rumor to Drudge about Sidney beating his wife, so that Drudge could be sued as soon as he ran the story - which of course, he did.
not that Drudge is a saint or anything, but this is exactly the kind of slimy behavior the Clintonistas engaged in and most of America has forgotten about now that 14+ years have passed.
Makes you wonder how much of the money he made on all his ventures was actually reported to the IRS.
Sidney Blew-them-all ?
Who is he...he’s an old Clintonista hatchet man.
also Sid Vicious
They do not want Rachel Madow to call them Ray’s Sis.
...and just who is Ray’s sibling??
