Recently released emails detail then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's interest in arming Libyan opposition groups using private security contractors before the fall of Muammar Qaddafi in 2011 – though at the time, the opposition was not formally recognized by the U.S. or United Nations, which prohibited arming without following strict guidelines and oversight.
The issue remains so sensitive that the emails recently released by the State Department redacted a key line on the matter. But the unredacted version of the same email, released to the congressional Benghazi Select Committee and first posted by The New York Times last Thursday, showed Clinton appearing to endorse the idea of using private contractors to her then-deputy chief of staff, Jake Sullivan.
"FYI. The idea of using private security experts to arm the opposition should be considered," Clinton wrote to Sullivan on April 8, 2011, attaching an intelligence report from Hillary's adviser Sidney Blumenthal. The opposition was known as the Transitional National Council, or TNC.
Another email released by the State Department shows that three days earlier, on April 5, 2011, Bill Clinton said he would not rule out arming the Libyan opposition. The story was circulated by Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton's principal personal adviser at the State Department, to "H." While it's not clear who "H" is, based on the message traffic it is likely Hillary Clinton or possibly adviser Huma Abedin.
Later that same year, a Sept. 10, 2011 email with a subject line "Rogers" said, "Apparently wants to see you to talk Libya/weapons."
.....
On the movement of weapons, in an interview broadcast May 11, former acting CIA director Mike Morell said the CIA and U.S. government "played no role. Now whether we were watching other people do it, I can't talk about it."

Did she mention McCain’s support in any of the emails?
Why in the hell does a SOS have to get intelligence reports from a civilian - RE Blumenthal? Where is he getting the info?
Our government has been corrupted absolutely.
Six months later, on May 22, 2013, Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, now chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, asked if the CIA was “monitoring arms that others were sending into Syria.” Morell said, “No, sir.”
of course not, they are busy monitoring us. only so many hours in a day.
I think Hillary ran the place while bambi was asleep.
THAT needs to be on EVERY thread....EVERY thread....PLEASE!!!
I know, Margaret Sanger wanted to exterminate the black race and Hitlery loves her........
Here is Hitlery saying she admires Sanger enormously just to prove this isn’t all made up........
If we had a REAL GOP they would send this stuff to every black person in the USA. It drives me crazy because Democrats are the most racist mofos going and Republicans never expose them
This woman should be charged or be in jail by now after all she has done, but instead she is running for President because she believes it is her time and right.
The voters in their millions have no idea about this woman, the media ignores or covers for her, and alas she will get away with all of her corruption over these years.
Most of the Dems and GOP are in this together so long as they get their wealth share while they takes orders from big business. i.e. homosexuals agenda, immigration,etc.
Frigging sickens me that the likes of Palin, Lee, Cruz get attacked for speaking the truth and wanting this country to go back to how it was, you know wen we were strong and respected around the world.
None of this open borders, lesser military, isolationism, drugs, homosexuality crap back then.
McCain pushes heavier U.S. involvement in Libya
"We have prevented the worst outcome in Libya," McCain told reporters. "Now we need to increase our support so that the Libyan people can achieve the only satisfactory outcome to this mass protest for universal rights -- the end of Gadhafi's rule and the beginning of a peaceful and inclusive transition to democracy that will benefit all Libyans."
Clinton Foundation donations funded State Dept approval of arms shipments to repressive governments. During the time Hillary Clinton was America’s Secy of State, she oversaw approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations.....governments that forked over millions of dollars to the now-embattled Clinton Foundation.
According to an International Business Times report by David Sirota and Andrew Perez, “at least seven foreign governments that received State Department clearance for American arms did donate to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary.” The article identified the seven nations as Algeria, Australia, Kuwait, Norway, Oman, Qatar, and Thailand.
Mainstream media’s surprisingly probing coverage of the unfolding Clinton Foundation donations-for-favors scandal suggests that reporters have turned on the Clintons in the age of Obama.
And the fact that the IBT piece was co-authored by Marxist author and radio talk show host David Sirota adds to the growing pile of evidence that some of the more ideologically pure progressives in the Democratic Party are ganging up on Mrs. Clinton in order to help as yet undeclared presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).(Excerpt) Read more at canadafreepress.com ...
(More below--Hillary sucks up to Qatar--arms buyer, and a major Foundation donor.)
CIRCA 2002--THE OMAN-QATAR-CLINTON CONNECTION---
The Clinton Foundation took $1,250,000 (that we know of)
from Mideast kingdom--Qatar---(recently exposed as embroiled in FIFA bribery).
The Clinton presidential library in Arkansas lists Brunei, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar as donors that gave between $1 million and $5 million (at the time of research).
The Clinton foundation itself confirmed the 2002 Brunei donation: "The Clinton Foundation's impact would not be possible without the generous support of our donors," the foundation's website reads. "Their contributions have made a difference in the lives of tens of millions across the world." Read more at foxnews.com ...
==============================================
Qatar became the new home of the Gitmo Five via the infamous Bergdahl swap.
==================================================
Hillary later told Fox's Greta Van Susteren that Qatar was "not a threat to the US." Hillary never mentioned Qatar subsidizing the Clinton Library/Foundation.
Hillary's remarks lead some to believe the donation was a payoff....Hillary bribed to defend Qatar....blatantly ignoring America's ntl security interests.
=====================================================
The Clinton Library bills itself as "linking the significance of
a 20th century American presidency with the ongoing
and far-reaching work of The Clinton Global Foundation."
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
No mention of Clinton being impeached and disbarred for lying.
====================================================
REALITY CHECK Despite its grandiose self-promotion, The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park---- is just another "Clinton Cash" snake pit.....subsidized by taxpayers,....and some shady foreign characters.
==================================================
REMEMBER THIS? As Hollywood hotshots protested the Beverly Hills Hotel over its ownership by Brunei's sultan and his embrace of Sharia law, it turns out the Brunei government has financial connections to the Clintons.
AND THIS Bill Clinton and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein flew on Epstein’s private jet in 2002 to meet with the Sultan of Brunei.....one of the richest men in the world. The National Enquirer reported flight logs reveal Epstein — before he was arrested and jailed for soliciting teenage masseuses — picked up Clinton at a Japanese naval airport. The mega-rich Sultan later donated between $1-5 million to the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas.
There was an accusation leveled against the State Department that Blumenthal was a non-registered foreign lobbyist....which is illegal. The State Department refused to pick up the complaint and simply dodged the issue (over eighteen months ago).
Blumenthal appears to be representing both the Saudis and possibly some European oil companies.
Ping.
