In the aftermath of her email fiasco, it appears Hillary's "what difference does it make" comment is right out of Shakepeare;

Methinks she protesteth too much.

Emails disclosed by a hacker show a close family friend was funneling intelligence about the crisis in Libya directly to the Secretary of State’s private account starting before the Benghazi attack.

It will interesting to see whether these specific emails are among those Hillary has disclosed.

Blumenthal is known for his fierce loyalty to the Clintons... not known is who tasked him with preparing detailed intel briefing memos or who was paying him, or where the intel operation got its money. The memos were marked “confidential” and relied in many cases on “sensitive” sources in the Libyan opposition and Western intelligence and security services. Other reports focused on Egypt, Germany, and Turkey.

Excellent post!

I want to know about the many Clinton advisors using her email server. Beyond Blumenthal, there have been reports of her deputies in the Department using her server, Andrew Shapiro, Huma Abedin, Strobe Talbot, Cody Shearer...

Were their emails erased? It seems as this, “clearly part of a select group with knowledge of the private clintonemail.com address’” work product needs to be produced or Hillary needs to answer to this gap.

For what it is worth, Blumenthal was the target of FReeper wrath years ago and was universally known as Sid Vicious

This insight tells me the whole clinton machine is alive and well paid off books somewhere in the darkness

Sid needs a subpoena.

Sid "Vicious" makes good political theater, a disturbingly angry Clinton True Believer who appears to lust after power while casting an aversion to the limelight. What he and Mrs. Clinton need, however, is an indictment.

I still think she's running for president to stay out of jail, since a Justice Department with integrity already has enough to take to a grand jury.

This seems to show him as a source for the ridiculous video reaction meme, while reporting outright that the regional al Qaida franchise planned to use the video as their cover for an operation in Benghazi and planned all this a month before the murders.

HILLARY SUPPOSEDLY WIPED HER SERVER CLEAN

HOWEVER, THE NYT REPORTED 3/27/15: Clinton’s review (and erasing?) of her emails did not occur when she was secretary of state or even shortly after she left office. Last October, nearly two years after she left office, the State Department sent her a letter requesting all government records, like emails, she may have possessed. In response, she provided the State Department in December with about 30,000 printed emails that she said were government records. She has said that an additional 30,000 emails were personal.

It appears Clinton still has copies of the emails she deemed public records. Attached to Mr. Kendall’s letter was one sent to him by the State Department this week. A letter from the under secretary of state for management, Patrick F. Kennedy, said that the department understood that she wanted to keep copies of those documents. Mr. Kennedy said that the agency had consulted with the National Archives, and that allowing her “access to the documents is in the public interest as it will promote informed discussion” as she responds to congressional and other inquiries.

I think the video at most was just the “go signal” for the riots all over the globe that served as a diversion from the real attack in Benghazi, and the US fell for it, took its eye off the ball.

Beyond Blumenthal, there have been reports of her State Dept deputies using her server......including Huma Abedin.... “clearly part of a select group with knowledge of the private clintonemail.com address’”...... Hillary needs to answer for this......

Red Statements ^ | March 19, 2015 | BY Steven Ahle / FR posted (hat tip to QT3.14)

Sen Chuck Grassley has written two letter to the State Dept. concerning a special arrangement for Huma Abedin, Hillary’s closest adviser. At the same time Abedin worked for the State Dept, she also worked for a company called Teneo. For those of you who don’t know it, Teneo bills itself as an expert in helping your company get government contracts. Can you see the obvious conflict of interest here? The Senate is trying to find out if Teneo’s clients received government grants and if they did, was Abedin and or Hillary involved? Abedin also had a private email account that ran off Hillary’s server.

Here are the highlights of that letter: “I am writing to follow up on inquiries I have been making since June 13, 2013 and August 15, 2013 regarding the State Department’s use of Special Government Employee (SGE) designations, and in particular, what steps the Department took to ensure that Ms. Huma Abedin’s outside employment with a political intelligence and corporate advisory firm did not conflict with her simultaneous employment at the State Department. I thank the Department for its responses to my inquiries made June 13, 2013 and August 15, 2013. However, to date, the Department’s answers have been largely unresponsive.”

By way of example, I have still not received the records relating to communications between the State Department and Ms. Abedin’s other employer, Teneo. Nor has the Department provided records of communications between the State Department and any clients or entities represented by Teneo. The Department has also failed to provide any email communications between Ms. Abedin and Teneo or Teneo’s clients.

The State Department’s November 14, 2014 response to my inquiries, stated, “Based on an internal review, the Department has never had any contracts with Teneo.” But that is not responsive to my request, and it does not mean that communications between full-time Department employees, or SGEs, and Teneo, or clients of Teneo, do not exist.

Here is a list of 20 pieces of evidence Grassley is asking for:

1. What steps has the State Department taken to comply with my June 13, 2013 request?

2. Please provide the names of all current or former State Department employees within the Secretary’s office who used, or continue to use, private e-mail addresses to conduct State Department business.

3. Please provide the names of all current or former State Department employees who used, or continue to use, private e-mail addresses on Secretary Clinton’s non-government email server.

4. How will the State Department ensure that all of the individuals referenced in the answers to questions 2 and 3 above provide all their contacts with Teneo or with clients of Teneo? Please provide the detailed steps that the State Department will take to ensure compliance.

5. Ms. Abedin’s simultaneous employment with Teneo, a private company, and the State Department raises serious ethics and conflicts concerns. Did Ms. Abedin conduct Teneo business through her non-government e-mail account reportedly on Secretary Clinton’s personal server?

6. The State Department’s July 17, 2013 response states that Ms. Abedin required a security clearance for her work. Can the Department verify that she did not send or receive any classified information via the non-government e-mail account she reportedly used on Secretary Clinton’s personal server? If so, please explain how.

7. In Ms. Abedin’s July 5, 2013 letter she stated that she was specifically tasked with supervising the “Secretary’s schedule and travel.” Was planning Secretary Clinton’s travel performed on a non-government email account?

8. Did Secretary Clinton prepare an inventory of unclassified papers and nonrecord materials to the State Department prior to departure? Did Ms. Abedin do the same?

9. Did Secretary Clinton prepare an inventory of classified papers and materials to the State Department prior to departure? Did Ms. Abedin do the same?

10. Did Secretary Clinton request a review of any materials proposed for removal? Did Ms. Abedin do the same?

11. Did a State Department official review the entirety of Secretary Clinton’s email server prior to Secretary Clinton deleting any emails?

12. Did Ms. Abedin delete any work-related emails from Secretary Clinton’s server?

13. Did a State Department official notify Secretary Clinton regarding her obligations to preserve written and typed material? Was such a notice provided to Ms. Abedin?

14. Were the unclassified documents authorized to be removed from Secretary Clinton’s personal server by the State Department? If so, please provide the authorizing document and name of authorizing official(s).

15. State Department spokesperson Jennifer Psaki was recently asked whether Secretary Clinton signed a separation statement acknowledging proper surrender of classified and unclassified material to State Department officials as required by the State Department Records Management manual to which she stated, “We are fairly certain that she didn’t [sign the form] or we would have record of it,” and Ms. Psaki also noted that recent secretaries of state have not signed the form either. Can you confirm that Secretary Clinton, and previous secretaries of state, did not sign a separation statement? If so, why have they not been required to do so? Did Ms. Abedin sign such a statement? If so, please provide a copy. If not, why was she not required to do so?

16. Please provide records of all communications by State Department SGEs who have used private e-mail addresses from 2005 to the present.

17. Did the Department consider any other candidates besides Ms. Abedin for the expert position requiring expert knowledge on policy, administrative, and other matters? If so, please provide the supporting documentation. If not, why not?

18. Please provide any other instances in which a State Department employee converted from a regular, full-time position to an SGE, and subsequently became employed by a private company.

19. Please provide the work papers, background documents, and/or emails that concluded that Ms. Abedin’s employment as an SGE did not present any ethical concerns or conflicts of interest with her multiple private sector jobs.

20. Was Ms. Abedin reminded before her departure from government employment about her obligations in preserving her email communications and records? If so, please identify the persons who did so and the supporting documentation.

=======================================

Huma Abedin, reportedly had private email addresses on the Clintons' private email server system.

(BTW, did Huma sign separation forms when she left the State Department, certifying, under penalty, that she had no classified into in her possession when she left state?)

An UNPAID Advisor my ass. Pretty sure Sid Vicious didn't do anything without getting paid.

Maybe Hillary didn't pay him in MONEY, but she COULD have paid him in CLASSIFED INFO that HE COULD SELL TO OTHERS!!!

Tyler Drumheller is associated with Vincent Cannistraro and Larry Johnson of VIPS; Larry Johnson is one of the early pro-Hillary promoters of the "Birther Theory" of Obama's origins.

Tyler Drumheller's editor is Philip Turner who is also associated with former ambassador to Gabon Joe Wilson & leftwingnut Murray Waas.

Drumheller was sourced in Jame's Risen's writings involving claims of "torture" by the US and eavesdropping by the NSA.

Drumheller was head of covert ops in Europe until he retired. As we know, al Qaeda's biggest cells successfully operated right under his nose, as did Iraq's intel services. 18 posted on ‎5‎/‎4‎/‎2010‎ ‎9‎:‎17‎:‎53‎ ‎PM by piasa
