and sending them on to the SOS. Who because she knew they were leaks, has a problem. She was obliged to make known her knowledge of the leaks, but she didn't. Instead she encouraged him to keep encouraging leaks and sending them on

His ass should be in the blender under usual security and espionage laws

Highlight:

Sidney Blumenthal On Hardball And Chris "Actually" Asked Him If He Was Interviewed By The FBI.. [View all] CorporatistNation May 2016 OP

This was the guy giving advice to Hillary after Obama fired him? Skink May 2016 #1

Obama Strictly Forbade Hillary From Employing Sidney... She Did So Against His Orders... CorporatistNation May 2016 #4

He did not forbid her from getting advice from Blumenthal. That's 2-dimensional thinking. randome May 2016 #10

Why did she keep it secret from Obama and everyone else then, if it was okie-dokie? polly7 May 2016 #19

Who says she kept it a secret? Even if she did, he was HER advisor, not Obama's. randome May 2016 #21

I'd need a link to wherever you're getting your info that Obama knew. polly7 May 2016 #22

I would think a cabinet position is somewhat on par with a regional manager. randome May 2016 #23

LMAO. nt. polly7 May 2016 #24

That's some serious pretzel-twisting "logic" farleftlib May 2016 #98

are you implicating Obama in this? grasswire May 2016 #33

Implicating him in what? What kind of moebius strip of logic are you on? randome May 2016 #42

Sidney Was Behind Much Of Hillary's Nasty Campaigning in 2007-'08, Hence Obama Made It Clear CorporatistNation May 2016 #51

Yet he's practically endorsed Clinton for President. That doesn't sound like it's a big deal to him. randome May 2016 #64

Yes, but Hillary, as Secretary of State, serves at the pleasure of the President CoffeeCat May 2016 #78

Has the President said he's displeased with her over this? No? Then case closed. randome May 2016 #90

Actually, the case is very open and the FBI has been investigating for a year now CoffeeCat May 2016 #96

How FOS Can You Possibly Be? UFB! CorporatistNation May 2016 #105

So what is illegal about getting advice from Blumenthal? randome May 2016 #106

The Sharing Of Classified Information... Back And Forth On Your Home Server UnSecured As SOS... CorporatistNation May 2016 #109

Oh come on!! lol,this pissed Obama off royally.She snuck around,behind Obamas back to do it! wendylaroux May 2016 #26

Why do you think he was pissed off? randome May 2016 #30

Did You Ever Hear The Saying 'Don't Get Mad - Get Even'..... global1 May 2016 #62

I thought this was very interesting... CoffeeCat May 2016 #81

When he offered Hillary SOS he said NO SID, NO ADVICE FROM SID. I'm not HIRING SID. ViseGrip May 2016 #77

And yet he isn't. Case closed. randome May 2016 #91

Obama hated this guy,told clinton NO WAY to hiring him,which says alot, wendylaroux May 2016 #87

Your Description of Hillary's Behavior In This Instance Is Defined As... Deviously Going Behind... CorporatistNation May 2016 #38

Are you saying that Obama personally approved all her aides & interns & dictated who she spoke with? randome May 2016 #44

He specifically said and dictated no Blumenthall. HooptieWagon May 2016 #58

Yet Obama has, for all intents and purposes, endorsed Clinton for President. randome May 2016 #65

No, he's not made an endorsement during the primary. HooptieWagon May 2016 #70

"...for all intents and purposes..." randome May 2016 #71

Of Course... We Have Yet To See IF... It Matters If She DID Break The Law... Likely As Not She DID.. CorporatistNation May 2016 #73

On top of using Blumenthal as an advisor... tex-wyo-dem May 2016 #80

He might but he clearly isn't. randome May 2016 #92

Blumenthal apparently had financial interests... tex-wyo-dem May 2016 #99

A bit of a nitpick... Hare Krishna May 2016 #95

Stupid autocorrect :P tex-wyo-dem May 2016 #97

So she gets a pass on that because a technicality? Peachhead22 May 2016 #76

How do you fire someone who wasn't employed there in the first place? randome May 2016 #89

Well OK Peachhead22 May 2016 #94

BULLSHIT I CALL THIS! Obama specifically said I don't want Sid advising you, even though he has for ViseGrip May 2016 #104

How do you know what Obama's words were to her in this respect? randome May 2016 #107

He was paid by the Clinton Foundation. What he did was perfectly legal. hedda_foil May 2016 #28

Blumenthal was feeding highly sensitive (confidential) info to Hillary... tex-wyo-dem May 2016 #83

He didn't get the info through official channels. He had his own source. hedda_foil May 2016 #86

Certainly, ONE MORE EXAMPLE Of ... Her EXTREMELY POOR JUDGEMENT AND Her LAZINESS! CorporatistNation May 2016 #93

The $10,000 per month came from The Clinton Foundation too. PufPuf23 May 2016 #31

I just wondered what the Clinton Foundation would gain from a destroyed Libya and polly7 May 2016 #32

the point is that Blumenthal was going to profit from a destroyed Libya!!! grasswire May 2016 #35

That makes sense, but why would she jeopardize her position and national security polly7 May 2016 #39

the Clintons are addicted to reckless narcissistic behavior. grasswire May 2016 #41

They sure do seem to be. polly7 May 2016 #43
