Blumenthal says he didn't write Libya intel he sent Clinton | |
2015-06-18 | |
[POLITICO] Sidney Blumenthal did not write or know the source of any of the Libya intelligence he passed on to then-Secretary of State ![]() ... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillaryand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Jeremiah S. Black... , the top Clinton ally told Sherlocks on the House Select Committee on Benghazi Tuesday in a closed-door deposition. Blumenthal, subpoenaed by the committee, also did not verify any of the intelligence he forwarded to the nation's top diplomat. Instead, Blumenthal was copying and pasting memos from Tyler Drumheller, a former CIA operative who was looking into a Libya-related business venture, and sending them to Clinton, two people familiar with his testimony told POLITICO.
Blumenthal, meanwhile, maintained that his practice of forwarding such memos was unsolicited and that he was not being compensated for gathering or passing along the information, according to sources who were in the room. | |

#3 It certainly takes a long time to get at anything resembling the truth in Washington, D.C. This thing has been dragging on for a long time. Ultimately Hillary and Obama are responsible for the Benghazi debacle. They need to be questioned. |

#1 While he was corresponding with Clinton, Blumenthal was also engaged in talks about a new Libyan business venture. He also downplayed those links Tuesday, saying it was a “humanitarian-assistance idea for medical care...... A "humanitarian business venture"....? A polio vaccination program no doubt. |
