Donald Trump talks about using Hillary Clinton's initial support for the Iraq War against her in an interview with Bret Baier on Thursday's broadcast of Special Report. Trump said Benghazi showed Clinton can't be trusted for a phone call at 3:00 in the morning. "She took them from [Sidney] Blumenthal, but she didn't take them from the ambassador," Trump said.
"She made a mistake when she voted for the war," Trump said. "She made a big mistake with Syria. She made a tremendous mistake. Look at Benghazi. She did the whole ad, who do you trust at 3:00 in the morning? Well, you don't trust her, because she was sleeping and there were plenty of calls coming in, she was sleeping. She took them from Blumenthal, but she didn't take them from the ambassador."

Ping!
The Empress has no clothes!
Hillary just started to cough up fur balls again.

He needs to add the failed state of Libya to the list.
Poor Hillary. She’ll be a basket case when she starts to really campaign for president after the big convention.
She may not make it to the convention. She’ll be recuperating to ready herself before campaigning against President Trump.
She’ll fortify herself with vodka and other adult drinks. roll around with Huma daily. Hillary will then return on the scene invigorated and just as stupid.
Never, EVER place that particular mental image in my head again. ;)
NO other candidate on the Republican side would dare be saying this. And, the rest to follow!
It’s about time somebody lays this crone’s treachery on her doorstep and call it what it is. FORCE the media to confront the truth and finally report on it. Do it! Keep Doing it!
I still want to know what Trump’s Freeper handle is.
Yep...they would all tip toe around hoping they won't piss off people who never would vote for them anyways.
Benghazi was a city that was effectively under the control of Jihadists, some of them blatantly identifying with Al Qaeda. Hillary Clinton might as well have sent Ambassador Stevens into an Al Qaeda training camp with terrorists providing his security. And that’s effectively what she did.
Her dismissive line about sending diplomats to dangerous places whitewashes what happened. Now that we’ve cleared away Hillary’s lies, let’s get to the truth. The Libyan War, like the rest of the Arab Spring, was about empowering the Muslim Brotherhood.
And there were cruder motives in the mix. Hillary Clinton hid emails discussing the exploitation of Libya’s oil fields. The Clintons had made an art out of merging their political and financial agendas. They had extensive ties with figures in the energy industry and the companies that dug into Libya’s energy sector, Royal Dutch Shell and BP, were Clinton Foundation donors.
Some of the deleted emails discussed this with Clinton Foundation employee Sidney Blumenthal, who was also providing Hillary Clinton with supposed intel from business interests while promising that the Libyan War would be an easy matter. Blumenthal encouraged “shock and awe” bombing in Libya.
According to Congressman Gowdy, who has been investigating the events in Benghazi, “Blumenthal pushed hard for a no-fly zone in Libya before the idea was being discussed internally by senior U.S. government officials.” He blasted Obama for being “unenthusiastic about regime change in Libya.”
Blumenthal called for providing the Jihadists with “armor piercing weapons” and called Secretary of Defense Gates a “mean, vicious little prick” who is “losing” the debate. Blumenthal also offered the very specific “national interest” argument that Obama would later echo, suggesting that he was unknowingly repeating the talking points of a man he loathed which had been handed to him by Hillary Clinton. He also told Hillary Clinton that the war had to be ramped up or Obama would lose the election.
Having dragged Obama into Hillary’s war, Blumenthal was now pushing Hillary to blackmail him with the threat of losing the election if he didn’t escalate the conflict. Meanwhile he was pursuing his interest in getting the Libyans to pay for military training from a private military company he was linked to.
The entire nightmarish mess of Democratic conspiracy theories about Iraq, Blood for Oil, politicians fighting wars to win elections, corporate conflicts of interest and even private military companies are all here and no one will touch it. A roster of Democratic candidates still running against the Iraq War won’t talk about an illegal dirty regime change war that took place with their backing and support.

This is why we the faggot republican establishment hates Trump so much. Instead of bending over like faggot Romney, he stands up and fights like a man.
Thanks, Liz! ;)
REALITY CHECK Blumenthal was engaged in a massive conflict of interest since he was simultaneously being paid by (a) The Clinton Foundation, (b) Hillary's 2016 organizers, and, (3) businessmen w/ interests in Libya.
If Clinton knew, her actions in circulating memos precipitated by Blumenthal was egregious. If she did not know, her recklessness is subject to US laws.
Keep in mind that---to its donors and to the world beyond---all they knew was that the Clinton Foundation hired Sid Blumenthal to..... (wait for it)..... "promote Bill's presidential legacy." That's what Sid was supposed to be doing for his $325,000 foundation salary.
Now if the Clinton Foundation Board of Trustees signed off on the Blumenthal hire without being appraised of the full scope of his duties....that would violate state laws and place the trustees in legal jeopardy.
==============================================
REFERENCES The implications of this Blumenthal revelation are huge, as the Washington Free Beacon points out:
<><> Among the newly revealed (Benghazi) e-mails were a pair of messages from July 2011 in which Blumenthal described efforts to secure Libyan government contracts for Osprey Global Solutions, a company in which Blumenthal has admitted to having a financial interest.
<><>Blumenthal warned Clinton that French companies were looking to scoop up security contracts from the Transitional National Council, the revolutionary government of the Libyan resistance, and plugged Osprey’s ability to be an American counterweight.
<><> “It puts Americans in a central role without being direct battle combatants,” Blumenthal wrote of Osprey’s TNC contract. He described his efforts in “putting this arrangement together through a series of connections, linking the Libyans to Osprey and keeping it moving.”
<><> Clinton forwarded that message to Jake Sullivan, her deputy chief of staff, and asked to discuss it later.
Shame! Shame!

She’s been in such a media-protected bubble for so long, I would not be surprised if she has a nervous breakdown on the campaign trail. She’s never faced an opponent with a killer instinct.
The daily shredding of the image of the Liar/Criminal/Traitor has begun with Trump.
These are just the shorts fired across her wide brow!
While a “nervous breakdown” would be good for a few laughs (especially if on camera), most likely she will stroke-out on camera and be carted off stage. That would be soooooo sad.
If it wasn’t for the National Enquirer torpedoing John-Boy Edwards, Hillary was the likely THIRD place finisher in the 2008 Dem primary run.
Despite the media facade, she’s a very weak candidate.
