Hillary’s Libya Emails ( Fast and Furious )
Weekly Standard ^ | Jun 8, 2015 | STEPHEN F. HAYES

Posted on 05/29/2015 7:29:47 AM PDT by cutty

Hillary Clinton has sought to avoid public scrutiny of her emails since before she was sworn in as secretary of state. When she did turn over some of her emails to the State Department, it was Clinton and her lawyers who decided which ones they would make available and which they would withhold. While it might be useful for Clinton defenders to pretend otherwise, there was no expectation that Clinton would voluntarily share incriminating emails, especially now, in the first weeks of her presidential campaign.

....

Sidney Blumenthal is at the heart of those new questions. A noted conspiracy monger and longtime Clinton confidant, Blumenthal provided Clinton a steady stream of outside intelligence on Libya while she was secretary of state ...

For Blumenthal, friendship with the Clintons came with considerable benefits. Blumenthal had been banned from State Department employment by the Obama administration, and it appears that if he couldn’t collect a government check for advising the Clintons, he would collect one from the Clintons directly. Politico’s Ken Vogel reports that Blumenthal was paid $10,000 a month as an employee of the Clinton Foundation from 2009 to 2013 and the same sum as a consultant after he left the payroll in 2013 through March 2015.

....

The emails make clear that Clinton was deeply involved in virtually every aspect of Libya policy

....

Perhaps the most important effect of these latest emails is the simplest one. They demolish the claim that we already know the answers to the important questions about the attacks and the administration’s response.

There is much more to learn.

Many on the right have critisized Gowdy for not disclosing the existence of Hillary's DIT email set-up, when Gowdy knew about it some six months earlier.

When historians finally study these events, I think that Gowdy's genius will be realized. He knew that previous GOP led investigations ( Fast & Furious, IRS targeting conservative groups, etc) went pretty much nowhere, because the MSM wasn't paying any attention. Gowdy realized he had to get the MSM interested in it, and events show that he's been successful doing so.

I’m really surprised that Blumenthal doesn’t have an “accident.”

In effect they were diverting funds from a charity for their personal use. There is a name for this, it is called fraud, theft, and my favorite is RICO.

Mrs. Clinton is a miserly, vicious, greedy woman with delusions of entitlement to power and riches not fettered by law or morality. I suspect you will find this kind of theft top to bottom in the Clinton Foundation.

"You can't rob a bank on charm and personality," he once observed. ... He usually arrived at banks or stores shortly before they opened for business. ... Ohnstad, who asked why he robbed banks, by saying, "because that's where the money is.

Lady Macbeth Clinton has taken Willie Sutton's philosophy to heart, but I must admit with much greater success.

(from the article) : "..Hillary Clinton has sought to avoid public scrutiny of her emails since before she was sworn in as secretary of state.
When she did turn over some of her emails to the State Department, it was Clinton and her lawyers
who decided which ones they would make available and which they would withhold."

Emails : Delete , Rinse ,delete , Rinse , repeat , repeat ,..etc.
Access to the unsecured server was given to Huma, whose Father was affiliated with the Muslimb-Buddyhood, and Huma's mother was affiliated with female Muslimb-Buddyhood.
At the time of the attack on Benghazi , specificly a voice was heard which said:" President Morsi( Egyption Muslimb-Buddyhood) sent us". This audio/video is availble on Utube.
And yet we wonder how the exact movements of Ambassador Stephens were known to the Muslim-Buddyhood, since we now know that Huma had access to the unsecured server ?
And yet we accept the fact that these brave four Americans died and were offerred up for sacrifice while Obungler and Hitlery told us for 6 weeks that it was an online film
that provoked this assualt and death of an American Ambassador and three security men,
with reduced security approved by Hitlery, and ignored Stephens concern/request for more security ?
And we only learned of the unsecured computer server almost two years after Hitlery left

On what do you base your theory regarding Gowdy?

He's playing it straight, non-partisan..with a "just the facts, ma'am" approach..heck even that asswipe Cummings hasn't been climbing the walls, like he did with Issa.

Gowdy is carefully getting infomation out to the MSM, and then letting them run with it..
