Ken Timmerman Reveals Sidney Blumenthal and Hillary Clinton Emails on Libya

 

Sidney Blumenthal and Hillary Clinton

Read what my friend Ken Timmerman, author of Dark Forces; The Truth Behind What Happened at Benghazi, has to say about Hillary emailgate.  Note the Benghazi connections vis a vis exchanges between former Clinton aide  Sidney Blumenthal and Hillary via his aol account. Blumenthal’s aol account was hacked by Marcel Lehel Lazar of Romania, widely known as “Guccifer”. Lazar is serving a four year term in a Roumanian jail.  Blumenthal, by the way, is father of Antisemitic son  Max, whom we have written about committing mayhem in Europe.. See our November 9, 2014 Iconoclast post, “76th Kristallnacht Commemoration Marred by Antisemitism in Europe.” . Then there is former CIA Director of Covert Ops in Europe Tyler Drumhiller, one of the rogue  CIA officers profiled in Timmerman’s book, Shadow Warriors: The Untold Story of Traitors, Saboteurs, and the Party of Surrender   We hope that Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) a former Federal prosecutor, will subpoena Hillary along with her Chappaqua, NY based server to search for information of relevance to the House Select Benghazi Committee that he chairs.

Note these excerprts from Timmerman exclusive report published on the Accuracy in Media website, “Why was Sid Blumenthal advising Hillary Clinton on Libya?”

If they could prosecute Petraeus on one count of improperly handling classified material (he kept those personal notebooks in a rucksack in his attic), one can only speculate how many thousand counts of mishandling classified information could be brought against Mrs. Clinton. Of course, she denies having sent classified information over her personal server, but in that case how did she communicate on classified matters with her envoys and subordinates?

Was the private server at her residence designed, installed, and maintained by a U.S. government security agency? Was it connected to the government’s Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) and physically separated from the open Internet?

The Sid Blumenthal memos, sent from his AOL account to Hillary’s private email server, suggest that this was not the case. If so, the former Secretary of State was breaking the law—big time.

When the memos first surfaced in 2013—posted to the Internet by a Romanian hacker known as “Guccifer” —neither the State Department nor their purported author acknowledged their authenticity. Given that they initially surfaced on the website of Russia Today, Vladimir Putin’s reliably anti-American TV network, that was enough to consign them to oblivion as yet another Internet hoax.

Now we learn that former CIA official Tyler Drumheller apparently helped to gather the “intel” that Blumenthal sent to Hillary on the Benghazi attacks and other political developments inside Libya.

Timmerman goes on to tie Blumenthal  and Drumhiller to the email exchange between Clinton on September 12, 2012:

This is extremely significant because the initial memo sent by Blumenthal, dated September 12, 2012, cites “a sensitive source,” who purportedly met with Libyan President Magarief shortly after the attacks began and claimed that a YouTube video sparked the “protest” against the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi.

Magarief himself never said such a thing, although the memo is worded to suggest that he did. He blew up when he heard Susan Rice make that claim on the Sunday talk shows after the attack, as I write on pages 347 and 348 of Dark Forces: The Truth About What Happened in Benghazi.

Drumheller became infamous for several earlier pieces of disinformation. As European Division chief at the CIA’s Directorate of Operations in 2001 and 2002, he was the one who planted the phony evidence about the Niger uranium contract that was later used by the media during the Valerie Plame affair to claim that George W. Bush had “lied” about Saddam Hussein’s WMD programs. On three separate occasions, he passed the Niger information up the food chain as validated intelligence, when the CIA had been warned that it was not (see page 63 of my book Shadow Warriors).

Then-CIA Director George Tenet was so fed up with Drumheller that he spent seven full pages in his memoir debunking claims by Drumheller regarding the defector known as CURVEBALL that Tenet said were simply untrue.

Drumheller and Sid Blumenthal have a history together. In 2007, Blumenthal used Drumheller as a source to “prove” that Bush had “lied” about pre-war intelligence on Iraqi WMD. Drumheller and Blumenthal went on to work in Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2007 and 2008.

So was the Guccifer/Blumenthal memo intended as disinformation, written after Hillary Clinton put out her statement on the night of the attacks blaming them on a YouTube video? Or was it actually the source of Hillary’s false claim about the video, written and sent by someone on the ground in Libya who was attempting to plant the story?

Many reporters, myself included, have submitted Freedom of Information Act requests to the State Department, asking for all documents and communications that would show how Mrs. Clinton’s statement came to be worded as it was finally released. Where are all the drafts? Who commented on them? What did it say initially? How was it changed? By whom?

While Clinton turned over more than 50,000 emails in paper form. It may take thousands of hours to search through them to find possible culpable evidence of security violations akin to what entrapped Gen. Petreaus. That is why the ability to acquire under subpoena, the off site server in Chappaqua, as it is searchable.  Interesting that this all started with a New York Times story, just months before the unofficial start of Ms. Clinton’s launch of her run for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2016.  Stay tuned for developments.
