Clinton Friend’s Memos on Libya Draw Scrutiny to Politics and Business
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDTMAY 18, 2015
When the Clintons last occupied the White House, Sidney Blumenthal cast himself in varied roles: speechwriter, in-house intellectual and press corps whisperer. Republicans added another, accusing Mr. Blumenthal of spreading gossip to discredit Republican investigators, and forced him to testify during President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial.
While advising Mrs. Clinton on Libya, Mr. Blumenthal, who had been barred from a State Department job by aides to President Obama, was also employed by her family’s philanthropy, the Clinton Foundation, to help with research, “message guidance” and the planning of commemorative events, according to foundation officials. During the same period, he also worked on and off as a paid consultant to Media Matters and American Bridge, organizations that helped lay the groundwork for Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
Much of the Libya intelligence that Mr. Blumenthal passed on to Mrs. Clinton appears to have come from a group of business associates he was advising as they sought to win contracts from the Libyan transitional government.

Some things never change. Mr. Blumenthal who had been barred from a State Department job was hired on by the Clinton Foundation and appear to have been carrying on the State dept work he was barred from except he was employed by the Clinton Foundation. It seems that if Hillary doesn't get her way she simply goes around and does it anyway using the Clinton Foundation as cover. Employing Blumenthal isn't the only thing she did this with during her time at the State dept. It's safe to assume she didn't want her State Dept Government business eMails being subject to the scrutiny of the Freedom of Information Act, so she set up a private eMail server in her home.
I think she makes Nixon look like an amateur in the secrecy department. I just can't imagine anyone who thinks this is the character of a good President of the United States.
