Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime confidant of Bill and Hillary Clinton, earned about $10,000 a month as a full-time employee of the Clinton Foundation while he was providing unsolicited intelligence on Libya to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to multiple sources familiar with the arrangement. Blumenthal was added to the payroll of the Clintons’ global philanthropy in 2009 — not long after advising Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign — at the behest of former president Bill Clinton, for whom he had worked in the White House, say the sources. Story Continued Below While Blumenthal’s foundation job focused on highlighting the legacy of Clinton’s presidency, some officials at the charity questioned his value and grumbled that his hiring was a favor from the Clintons, according to people familiar with the foundation. They say that, during a 2013 reform push, Blumenthal was moved to a consulting contract that came with a similar pay rate but without benefits — an arrangement that endured until March.

Time for Sid to meet a blow torch and some pliars like his beloved Black Panthers dish out.
I would love to be a fly on the wall in the West Wing today.
She was moonlighting. Always about the money.
Obama didn’t hire Hillary....he hired the Clinton Foundation. The Foundation served as Secretary of State.

CNN just said Americans don’t care about Blumenthal and he isn’t important. Well, this American cares. I watched Fox, then switched to CNN. Night and day.
I care about what she was doing. She was working for herself and the foundation not the American people. Sec of State side job.
10% to charity and 90% for “administrative purposes”.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are the penicillin-resistant syphilis of our political system.
HILLARY: I DON’T BELIEVE AMB. STEVENS HAD MY PERSONAL EMAIL, BUT SID BLUMENTHAL DID
But she said today in the hearings: “I didn’t use emails while I was S of S...”
So either she lied, again, or there are emails that we don’t know about...and where is Sid? And where are those emails?
Little Sid not only worked for Hillary he also worked for Media Matters.
When Osama bin Laden himself says 90% of the preparations for the battle is the news, having someone in a position that can orchestrate the news for the attack and orchestrate the spin of the news after the attack is important.
She was a “friend” of Stevens but they never exchanged e-mails. Did she know him at all? Sid was the go-between in that relationship. I notice Stevens’ mother has all but disappeared unlike Sean Smith’s mother.
Scooter Libby cares!
The Steven’s family is the dog that didn’t bark!! I have heard NOTHING from them from the moment he was killed!!
I watched Hillary trying to pretend she didn’t know who Sid worked for. Pathetic. She should be jailed for contempt.
