Each batch of Hillary Clinton emails seems to bring with it more evidence that the former secretary of state did not want other Obama administration officials to know that she was in regular contact with her longtime friend and political hatchet man, Sidney Blumenthal.
| Because Sid is her bag man. And everyone in Chicago knows what a bag man is... |
The latest evidence comes in a Sept. 30, 2010 email released on Saturday which shows Clinton ordering her assistant, Jill Jiloty, to “remove the heading” from an email that Blumenthal sent her from their mutual friend, former Amb. Joseph Wilson.
The email contains a lengthy letter from Wilson, who served in the Bill Clinton White House. In it, he provides Hillary Clinton with a detailed tick-tock of a trip he had made to Iraq on behalf of a power company for which he was consulting at the time and slammed the U.S. military’s presence in Iraq, saying that the experience left him “slack jawed.”
| Nope, no conflict of interest there. The Iraqis need Joe's special expertise to pull their chestnuts out of the fire, that's all... |
“Berlin and Dresden in World War II were devastated but they and their populations were not subjected to seven years of occupation that included ethnic cleansing, segregation of people by religious identity, and untold violence perpetrated upon them by both military and private security services,” wrote Wilson, who is perhaps best known for NOT debunking the claim that Saddam Hussein attempted to purchase yellowcake uranium from Niger.
| Stupid editorializing. We know better... |
“I have not been to Gaza but suspect that the dehumanizing effects are somewhat similar.”
Clinton was seemingly embarrassed by something in the email, but it wasn’t Wilson’s aggressive condemnation of the U.S. military’s presence in Iraq. Instead, the email indicates she was worried by Blumenthal’s involvement in the email chain.
“Pls print three copies but remove the heading from Sid so it is just the memo from Joe to me,” Clinton wrote to Jiloty.
