Shouldn’t that be a tale of the FIB?
REFERENCES-— The implications of these Blumenthal revelations are huge, as the Washington Free Beacon points out:
<><> Among the newly revealed Benghazi e-mails were a pair of messages from July 2011 in which Blumenthal described efforts to secure Libyan government contracts for Osprey Global Solutions, a company in which Blumenthal has admitted to having a financial interest.
<><>Blumenthal warned Clinton that French companies were looking to scoop up security contracts from the Transitional National Council, the revolutionary government of the Libyan resistance, and plugged Ospreys ability to be an American counterweight.
<><> It puts Americans in a central role without being direct battle combatants, Blumenthal wrote of Ospreys TNC contract. He described his efforts in putting this arrangement together through a series of connections, linking the Libyans to Osprey and keeping it moving.
<><> Clinton forwarded that message to Jake Sullivan, her deputy chief of staff, and asked to discuss it later.
