Just another slimey snake anti-American political adviser for the demonRats.
Hannity calls him “Sid Vicious”.
Speaking of shadowy leftwing advisors advocating tyranny over the masses, whatever became of Cass Sunstein?
E-mails show Hillary Clinton wanted Blumenthal hired at State. But the idea was nixed by Rahm Emanuel b/c of Blumenthals attacks on Obama during the campaign. Despite Hillary telling the Congressional Benghazi committee that Blumenthal was not my adviser, official or unofficial, records show the Clinton political machine paid him at least $320,000 a year.......the money-to burn Clinton Foundation paid Blumenthal $10,000 a month to ballyhoo the legacy of Bill Clinton. (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down).
But Sid was pocketing bigtime from other suckers eager to cash-in:
Fox News reported Blumenthal was also paid $200,000 a year by Media Matters, an aggressive pro-Clinton information outlet led by David Brock. Blumenthal provided inside info, high-level strategy and messaging advice to Brock, and others.
However, there appears to be a cover-up. There is no paper trail showing Blumenthal at the Clinton Foundation or at Media Matters, and both organizations did not respond to media requests for clarification. But Blumenthals labors for Hillary Clinton are evident in hundreds of private e-mails.
Blumenthals highly unusual work arrangement was a triple play fraught with potential conflicts of interest:
<><> He simultaneously advised the secretary of state (a possible future president);
<><> he promoted the interests of Bill Clinton as the former president scoured the globe seeking millions of dollars in honoraria, donations to the Clinton Foundation, consultancies and lucrative insider deals;
<><> he provided advice to an organization devoted to destroying their enemies.
Blumenthal cast a wide net as a defacto Clinton ambassador (some might say bagman), promoting dubious business deals and political schemes. The Hillary/Blumenthal e-mails reveal several shady examples:
A LIBYAN CONTRACT--Blumenthal promoted a deal sought by his employer, US defense contractor, Osprey Global Solutions. According to its Web site, Osprey offers a wide variety of services including security, training, armaments and the sale of assault rifles. Chairman Trey Gowdy noted Blumenthal acknowledged a personal stake in Osprey.
In hundreds of pages of e-mails (that Hillary strove to keep hidden), Blumenthal served as Secy Clintons primary adviser on Libya; he pushed her hard to intervene using US govt power and our tax assets.
Blumenthal and his business partners profits depended on a "new" Libyan govt---so Blumenthal goaded Hillary into using the power of the US govt, the State Dept and tax assets into bringing Khadafy down.
