It should make you ask why the WH considered Sid a problem and refused to bring him onboard. Long-term, I think Sid’s only value in the political world was just to find insider information, get some kind of compensation for it, and broaden his services. Hillary needed Sid, to help her network achieve success and bring in funding to the Clinton Foundation. My guess is that all the way back to the 1990s...Sid was a key part of the Clinton success.
Sid was spreading birther rumors in 2008. Obama wanted no part of him.
