The private system also allowed her to get Sid Blumenthal’s advice on State Department matters.
I recall several years ago, when folks were asking who she’s communicating with so often on her blackberry, and the answer was Sid.
Did he have top secret clearance back then? I have no idea myself, but he was definitely advising her in these matters. She’s a fraud from the get-go.
I wonder why she depended so heavily on Sid for advice.
Dirty political tricks is one thing—that’s how he picked up the nickname “Sid Vicious”—but assuming that knowledge extends to advice on international operations of State seems like a big stretch. It seems reckless and stupid.
