Yesterday Mark Hemingway posted an article at Real Clear Investigations<\/a> about an investigation into a scheme involving Hillary Clinton’s pal Sidney\u00a0Blumenthal and his associates to profit from the deposing of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Records recently posted online by the FBI indicate that it did little to investigate allegations from private sources connected to Republicans about a scheme in which associates of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to exploit their connection to her to profit from the turmoil in Libya in 2011.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FBI received the documents in June 2016, around the same time it launched an exhaustive, three-year investigation of the Trump campaign\u2019s ties to Russia based, in part, on information from private sources connected to Democrats that in the main would prove to be false \u2013 the Steele dossier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bureau\u2019s different responses to these documents also came during the same period when FBI Director James B. Comey controversially cleared Clinton, in his first of two exonerations, of criminal wrongdoing in the bureau\u2019s probe of her unauthorized and insecure email setup.\\<\/strong><\/p>\n

The documents, quietly released as part of the FBI\u2019s case files for the \u201cMidyear Exam,\u201d its code name for the Clinton email investigation, revive a lingering mystery from Clinton\u2019s tenure as the nation\u2019s chief diplomat: Why did Sidney Blumenthal, the former journalist and Bill Clinton White House aide, send her a series of detailed memos and reports about Libya beginning in 2011?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The documents offer an answer. They allege that Blumenthal sent the emails as a “quid pro quo” to free up classified State Department financial intelligence to help Libya recover as much as $66 billion spirited offshore by slain strongman Moammar Gadhafi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Out of that, Blumenthal and associates stood to gain a brokers’ cut of perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The private Libya inquiry leaves important issues unsettled. The documents do not include emails or other original source material to support the allegations within. While claiming to possess evidence that Blumenthal and his associates had contracts and offshore accounts to repatriate the money, the documents say “no concrete evidence” was found suggesting Clinton acted to support the effort.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet if verified, the files might shed light on why Clinton kept her emails, tens of thousands of which have gone missing, out of normal government communication channels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please follow the link above to read the entire article. It asks many questions about why the FBI followed up on an investigation on Russian collusion when they knew that some of the leads they had were false and didn’t follow up on this investigation.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, as the FBI becomes less political (which may or may not be happening), some of the loose ends left loose by the Obama administration will be revisited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
