(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) A batch of State Department emails between Hillary Clinton and her aides on their handling of the 2012 Benghazi terror attack reveals that Sidney Blumenthal, a Clinton Foundation official, wielded significant influence over Clinton when she led the department, and over how the department would react to the Benghazi attack.
The New York Times published more than 300 pages of emails Thursday, ahead of the State Department's planned release of hundreds of additional pages in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
According to those emails, Blumenthal peppered the secretary with dozens of Libyan intelligence memos in the months before terrorists raided the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, on the 11th anniversary of 9/11.
