Clinton friend Blumenthal 'shed no light' before Benghazi panelBy Susan Cornwell at Reuters

"SNIP...............
Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime ally of Hillary Clinton, testified all day Tuesday behind closed doors before a congressional panel probing the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, but declared afterwards that he had "shed no light" on events there.
Blumenthal, who was an unofficial adviser to Clinton when she was U.S. Secretary of State, told reporters it seemed obvious the Republican-majority committee had subpoenaed him "for one reason and one reason only. And that reason is politics."
"My testimony has shed no light on the events of Benghazi, nor could it. Because I have no first-hand knowledge of what happened there," Blumenthal said after nearly nine hours of testimony in a basement room in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The House committee is looking into memos Blumenthal emailed to Clinton about Libya around the time of the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

(154,021 posts)1. I am surprised these folkks are not digging out the accident
that is in the emails, for which we paid thousands of dollars, since people died.
Yes, that is normal practice, but that is the closest to a "scandal" in that treasure trove. And it is not like the tax payer knows this is quite standard...

(51,076 posts)5. Everything that was wrong with Benghazi
was of republiCON making. Hillary or Obama had nothing to do with anything there. There was no cover up there was not stretching of the truth. Its been a witch hunt from the get go.
It sucks we have to put up with CON bullshit bullshit.
