<><> Blumenthal was hired by the Clinton Foundation to "promote Bill's presidential legacy",
<><> at the same time Blumenthal was tight w/ American Bridge and Media Matters two Democratic groups aiding 2016 Clinton's effort,
<><> Blumenthal was also a paid advisor to businesses seeking Libyan contracts (compromising US ntl interests, by marketing his influence at the State Dept);
<><> Blumenthal was secretly advising Secy of State Clinton about Libya @ $320,000 per year;
<><> he also pocketed $200,000 a year from Clinton ally David Brock's media operations.
==============================================
In one news report.....the Clintons defend their foundations work by saying that its focus has always been on "charity." We and our supporters care only about impact, not ideology, Bill Clinton said in his written statement. We are an entirely non-political foundation.
However, the foundation teems w/ key members of Hillarys political team and has been disparagingly referred to as Hillary's 2016 Super-Pac.
==================================================
In 2009, the Clintons duped the public, and its wealthy donors (and contravened tax-exempt laws) by announcing Sidney Blumenthal, a long-time adviser to both Clintons, had been hired...... (wait for it) "to work on a project to promote Bill Clintons presidential legacy. "
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
But Sid's secret emails show that, while on the foundation payroll, ostensibly promoting Bill's legacy, Blumenthal fed back-channel, usually unreliable, intelligence reports on Libya to then-Secretary of State Clinton.
Hillary sent Sid's reports on to senior State official without attribution......as if they were her analyses.
Excellent report. This in and of itself is enough for the Trump administration to strip the foudation of its tax exeption for being patently political advocacy group. It must be a 501C3 which is even worse.. (remember the Tea Party C4s?)It is a super Pac for Bill’s very tarnished and blighted image and for hillary’s floundering and failing campaign ( did you hear that communist bernad sanders is within 10 points of her for the demorat nomination ?)
Thanks for this great leak from the Blumenbutt deposition.
Incredible info. If you have a ping list I want on it.
