Ex-Ambassador Joseph Wilson’s ‘Embarrassing’ Emails To Hillary
The Daily Caller ^ | 10-1-15

Posted on 10/03/2015 3:45:45 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson caused “embarrassment” to a company he consulted for by lobbying then-Sec. of State Hillary Clinton in an email he sent through her longtime friend and ally, Sidney Blumenthal, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Caller.

The company, Symbion Power, made the claim in response to a lawsuit filed in New Mexico last week by Wilson, who served as ambassador to Gabon and São Tomé and Príncipe during the Bill Clinton administration.

Wilson claims that Symbion and its co-founders, Paul Hinks and Lord Richard Westbury, engaged in fraud, breach of contract and civil conspiracy by failing to pay him more than $280,000 in consulting fees and by misrepresenting itself as an American company.

The voter base has been marginalized by the TEACHERS UNION .. which has been systematically indoctrinating people to hate Conservatives and Christians.

People haven’t been paying attention.

Now, we have a mess on our hands.

Have you heard of this Cabelly case or an apparently related case of Gwenyth Todd? Is she another of the VIPS gang?

Only place I've heard of Cabelly is in relation to the Wilson/Symbion dispute. Here is an interview with Todd's parents Kenneth Thompson and Eve Tyler:

Thompson, Eve

There's some mention in the interview of the family's relation to Robert Woods Bliss. Lots of Ivy League-type ties going way back to the WWII era. Family looks "Oh So Social" at a glance. There's a good overview of the genesis of the Todd/Cabelly relationship here:

Once a rising star in Washington, now afraid to return to the U.S.

Gwenyth Todd was from a long line of American diplomats, bankers, spies and scholars going back to Revolutionary times. Her first 17 years had been spent following her father, Kenneth Thompson, a career diplomat, and mother, Eve Tyler, through embassies in Malta, Turkey, West Africa, England and Spain. Summers were spent at the family chateau in France.

But Washington was home. Her maternal grandfather, William Royall Tyler, had been an assistant secretary of state in the Kennedy administration and director of Dumbarton Oaks, the estate and center for Byzantine and pre-Columbian art studies. . .

Robert Cabelly had been an Africa expert in three administrations by the time he encountered Todd at a fashionable Washington seafood bistro. Now, in 1995, he was about to turn his inside connections into K Street gold as a lobbyist for oil-rich African regimes. . .

Continuing from the link in my previous post, noting some Turkish lobby connections:

Her first client was Nuri Colakoglu, a Turkish steel and shipping magnate.

Unknown to Cabelly, she says, she began an affair with Colakoglu. And unknown to her, she says, Cabelly was getting into business with some of Africa’s worst despots, including Omar Hassan al-Bashir of Sudan, listed by the State Department as a state sponsor of terrorism.
