Thanks for the info, Cap Huff!
Ray76, here’s more info from Cap Huff’s remark about ol Sid:
Link to Observer article mentioned in Breitbart article:

“Writing at the Observer, former NSA analyst John R. Schindler foresees a possible war brewing between Clinton and the NSA, especially if a politicized Justice Department quashes a solid FBI criminal referral against her.
Schindler suggests it could end up in a “leak-fest of a kind not seen in Washington, D.C. since Watergate,” if irate FBI and NSA officials start handing “Clintonian dirty laundry” over the press. He says intelligence officials are nursing some bad memories about their “bureaucratic showdown” with Clinton, who was basically demanding the same cool toy Obama got, like a spoiled brat:
The State Department has not released the full document trail here, so the complete story remains unknown to the public. However, one senior NSA official, now retired, recalled the kerfuffle with Team Clinton in early 2009 about Blackberrys. “It was the usual Clinton prima donna stuff,” he explained, “the whole ‘rules are for other people’ act that I remembered from the Nineties.”
Why Ms. Clinton would not simply check her personal email on an office computer, like every other government employee less senior than the president, seems a germane question, given what a major scandal EmailGate turned out to be.
“What did she not want put on a government system, where security people might see it?” the former NSA official asked, adding, “I wonder now, and I sure wish I’d asked about it back in 2009.”
He’s not the only NSA affiliate with pointed questions about what Hillary Clinton and her staff at Foggy Bottom were really up to—and why they went to such trouble to circumvent Federal laws about the use of IT systems and the handling of classified information. This has come to a head thanks to Team Clinton’s gross mishandling of highly classified NSA intelligence.
Schindler writes at length about one particular Clinton email he has spotlighted before – an intelligence report on Sudan from Clinton’s shady henchman Sidney Blumenthal, who was expressly forbidden by the President from playing any role whatsoever at Clinton’s State Department. Schindler is absolutely certain Blumenthal lifted material from highly sensitive NSA documents, classified at the highest level, which he could not possibly have legal access to. One current NSA official said Blumenthal copied a Top Secret/Special Intelligence document “word-for-word.”
Sudan, at the time, was the country through which Libyan weapons were being transported to Gaza. The Israelis his a big convoy there.
