This is highly relevant to the argument of who started what. Sydney Blumenthal is one of Hillary’s top snakes. Let’s not forget he essentially was her chief adviser and go-to guy on Libya.

The problem with liberals is.. they just know so much that just isn’t so!
So... everytime Trump does this .. the left loses their minds running around like chickens with their heads cut off ... throwing verbal hand granades at Trump because of the outragous lie he just supposedly told.
only... for Trump to release the TRUTH and make both the media and his opponent look like $hit.

@jaketapper @jimasher my colleague @myhlee has been trying to reach him also.
But, but, but....all the Lamestream news outlets “fact checked” it, and Hillary’s campaign had nothing to do with the origins of the birther movement.
Even the ever stalwart /s Michael Medved said today it wasn’t so...
Was just about to ping you on this...
House of cards could tumble...
Also, Bill Clinton said something like "well, if he's qualified by the Constitution to be President" KNOWING that Obama was born in Kenya, but not wanting to piss off the constiuencey they OWNED.....BLACKS!!!
Sid’s was one of the first email accounts to be hacked, right?
Hey Michael...Lood up Phillip Berg!!!
Not sure if the hack was back to 2008
Blumenthal should also be in jail. One of his “memos” to Hillary on Libya contained TS/SCI SIGINT information, and was copied, almost verbatim, from an NSA report on the situation. At the time, Sid had been out of government, without an active security clearance, for more than a decade. But naturally, Jim Comey and the FBI let that slide. Guess Blumenthal really didn’t “mean” to include that classified info in his e-mail to HRC.
“What will Shrillarity and her flying MSM monkeys try next?”
Above all, what will that flaming queer, Shemp, of Faux News do now, since, at the beginning of his show today, he repeated the Clintonoid lie that the Witch’s 2008 campaign did not start the “Birther” controversy.
Yes and hrc constantly emailed him when she was at State. Plus, she sent him classified material.
Just wait until Monday. The media is going to be chewing on this for the entire weekend, and when the truth is exposed the Clinton campaign is going to look like dirt.
See #32
Also pinged you to more on today’s daily djt thread.
OMG Imagine Sydney Blumenthal back in the White House... holeekrap!
geez this woman must be defeated then pissed-on
It was the compromise of Sid’s email account that revealed Clinton’s home server.
Calling the filthy MSM. Where are the blights on society, the press?

House Democrats mistakenly release transcript confirming big payout to Clinton friend Sidney Blumenthal
Below is the full transcript excerpt that Democrats intended not to publish. It is unclear who the questioner is in the first section.
Q: Did you ever receive any payment from an organization called Media Matters?
A: Oh, yes. I did — I did receive payment in that period from Media Matters.
Q: Okay. And what was your relationship with Media Matters at that time period?
A: I was a consultant to Media Matters. I’m sorry I—
Q: That’s okay.
A: I overlooked that.
Q: When did you become a consultant for Media Matters?
A: I would say the very end of 2012.
Q: Okay. And how did that come about, that you became a consultant for Media Matters?
A: I have had a very long friendship with the chairman of Media Matters, whose name is David Brock, from before he founded this organization, and I have sustained that friendship. And he asked me to help provide ideas and advice to him and his organizations.
Q: So you began your relationship, your paid relationship, with Media Matters at the end of 2012.
A: Right.
Q: Does that continue to this day?
A: It does.
Q: Okay. And what is your salary or your contract with Media Matters? How much money are you earning from them?
A: I’d say it’s about $200,000 a year.
Q: And has that been roughly consistent from when you began receiving payment from Media Matters?
*[redacted due to Chairman Gowdy’s refusal to allow release of transcript].
A: I would say it’s — I’d have to check. I think it’s increased a little bit. It’s increased some.
Q: Okay. Are you familiar with the organization American Bridge?
A: Yes.
Q: Have you received any compensation from American Bridge over the last five years?
A: Yes.
Q: Okay. And how much compensation have you received from American Bridge?
A: Well, when I talk about that amount of money, I mean all of those organizations.
Q: So all of David Brock’s entities —
A: Right.
Q: — combined are 200,000?
A: About.
Q: Okay.
A: Something like that.
Q: Okay. So there’s American Bridge.
A: Yes.
Q: There’s Media Matters.
A: Right.
Q: Are there any other organizations on which you have done work for Mr. Brock?
A: Correct the Record
Q: Okay.
A: — is another organization.
Q: Okay.
A: And then there’s the American Independent Institute, which is a journalistic foundation.
Q: So, when you receive your paycheck, who signs the paycheck? Where does that come from?
A: It’s deposited directly. I imagine it comes from David Brock.
Q: Okay. Not David Brock personally but one of his —
A: Whoever — whoever is responsible for that payment.
Blumenthal and Republican Select Committee Member Mike Pompeo had the following exchange about Correct the Record:
Q: Fair enough. I’m going to jump around a little bit. You said I think earlier this morning that you still are working for Correct the Record?
A: I am.
Q: And tell me what the mission of Correct the Record is.
A: Correct the Record is pretty much what it says, to correct — it’s a nonprofit organization to correct the record about public misstatements about prominent Democrats.
