Benghazi Committee: New Emails Show Clinton Promoted Blumenthal Interests in Libya
weeklystandard.com ^ | 10/8/15 | STEPHEN F. HAYES

Posted on 10/09/2015 3:35:11 AM PDT by Liz

Trey Gowdy's House Select Committee on Benghazi will be making public new documents demonstrating Clinton crony, Sidney Blumenthal (blackballed from US govt employment) was seeking business in Libya at the same time he was advising then-SoS Hillary Clinton on US policy in Libya.

Chairman Trey Gowdy's lengthy letter to Cong Elijah Cummings, ranking Committee Democrat, said that, on at least one occasion, Clinton sought to aid Blumenthal's business interests in Libya.

Gowdy's 13-page letter to Cummings also details new concerns about compromised security on Clinton's email, noting that in one unsecured email Blumenthal appears to name a top CIA source in Libya -- a revelation that could compromise the safety of that source if it became known publicly.

In a statement accompanying the letter, Chairman Gowdy makes some of his strongest accusations to date about the Obama administration's obstruction of the committee's work.

“These messages should have been made public when the State Department released Secretary Clinton’s other self-selected records on Libya and Benghazi." Gowdy underlined that "there was a clear decision at the time to withhold this information from the American people and the Committee. The State Department has now made these messages available, and the Committee intends to question Secretary Clinton about them during her appearance.”

Gowdy did not identify the individuals responsible for the "clear decision" to withhold information.

The new documents add to a long list of materials withheld by the Obama administration, and Clinton and her lawyers, and raise further questions about what other documents have not yet been turned over to the Benghazi committee.

Shalom.

but no one gives a crap and “justice” department will not act.

Depends on how long the FBI "investigates" and who the next president is.

Obama & Co. have no interest in finding the State Dept's missing $6 Billion.......

CORRECTION: Obama has hundreds of millions of reasons (/Snix). Read on.

UT, OH The FBI just seized four Clinton servers, but Hillary's not worried about US ntl security being compromised.

The Clintons are worried sick b/c Obama is obsessed w/ getting his hands on the Clinton servers......and may even have used foreign proxies to hack into them.

The Clinton servers contain secret details of all the Clinton's wealth, their holdings, their offshore numbered accounts, safe deposit boxes....and all the income from their lucrative arms deals, US uranium mines, gold mining, oil reserves, etc etc etc.

Obama feels shortchanged by the conniving Clintons. He was supposed to get a cut of everything......but he's been reading about deals he never knew existed.

Getting ahold of the Clinton servers is Obama's mi$$ion or else the peevish Michele might get physical.

CONCLUSION: This all about the Clinton CRIME FAMILY SLUSH FUND...and Obama's need to get his cut.

It’s getting harder and harder for Obama to hide from the truth, isn’t it?

BTW, did you hear Russia is “denying” some of the bombs
aimed at Syria “accidentally” fell into Iran?

Hitting Iranian targets could really screw-up Obama’s plans.

But I’m sure Putin has “no intention” of doing that (/snix).

The letter, although addressed to Cummings, was written to be read by the American people.

I hope the Army delays the “Sgt” Bergdahl court martial decision and trial until the loathsome Bambi is gone.

Did Blumenthal buy a 'speech for one' off Hillary?

Would not be surprised if dealmaker Bill leaked the name...for a “price.”

Bill’s nose can smell a deal a continent away-—he does more than snort lines off a coffee able w/ that schnozola of his.
