Sidney Blumenthal, a former aide to President Bill Clinton and a key ally of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, will testify before the House select Committee on Benghazi on June 16, the panel announced Friday.

Mr. Blumenthal will answer questions about memos he drafted on Libya when Mrs. Clinton ran the State Department, Politico reported Friday.

“This appearance before the Select Committee on Benghazi involves a witness deposition, which is typically done in private,” an advisory from the committee states, Politico reported.

The session will be closed to the media and the public.

Committee Chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, raised questions about Mr. Blumenthal’s involvement in the State Department’s response to the Benghazi attacks on Sept. 11, 2012. The Republican lawmaker did so after reviewing thousands of documents, which showed Mr. Blumenthal and the secretary traded frequent emails on the security and diplomatic climate in Libya before the attacks.

Bill And Hillary Clinton Slapped With Racketeering Lawsuit 

By Lawrence Lease, May 27, 2015, Examiner.com

Freedom Watch’s Larry Klayman filed a Racketeering lawsuit against Bill and Hillary Clinton and theClinton Foundation on Wednesday. The lawsuit was filed in Florida, which includes a request to have the Florida judge seize the personal server on which former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her staff hosted their emails while she served in the State Department. Klayman has been known for filing lawsuits against the Clintons and other established politicians. The Clinton Foundation faces a RICO case. The case alleges the former first family and their foundation traded favors from international leaders for large donations or generous speaking fees. The suit was filed before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Civil Action No. 9:15-cv-80388.

Klayman claims that the Clintons, through both mail and wire fraud, misappropriated documents which he was entitled to under the Freedom of Information Act regarding Hillary Clinton’s involvement in leaking Irsaeli cyber-warfare plans and practices. Hillary Clinton orchestrated this release to harm and thwart Israeli plans to preemptively attack Iranian nuclear sites to stop the Islamic nation's march to producing atomic weapons. Klayman issued another FOIA request calling for the release of Hillary Clinton and other State Department’s records which relate to the granting of waivers for persons, companies, countries, and other interests to do business with Iran, in an attempt to undermine the economic sanctions.

Repressive Regimes Donated to Clinton Foundation, Got Federal Approval for Arms Deals 

Reuters
By Ben Mathis Lilley, May 26, 2015, Slate.com

Repressive regimes in Algeria, Kuwait, and Qatar donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and also "gained State Department clearance to buy caches of American-made weapons" during that time, anInternational Business Times investigation reports.

The IBT piece reviews all known donations to the Clinton Foundation by countries and defense contractors involved in arms deals that were approved by the State Department during Hillary Clinton's tenure. During a broader increase in military exports under the Obama administration, more than $300 billion worth of weapons shipments were approved to 20 countries that were or have since become Clinton Foundation donors. Some of these recipients were longtime United States allies, such as Australia and Germany, with relatively upstanding recent records on human rights. Others weren't:

The State Department formally approved ... arms sales even as many of the deals enhanced the military power of countries ruled by authoritarian regimes whose human rights abuses had been criticized by the department.

Clinton Worried About Her Image Immediately After Benghazi 

By Reuters, May 23, 2015, NYPost.com

Top aides to former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fretted over how she would be portrayed after the 2012 Benghazi attacks that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, emails released on Friday showed.

The emails also showed Clinton received information on her personal email account about the Benghazi attacks that was classified “secret” by the FBI just prior to their release.

Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, has come under criticism for using a personal email account, hosted on a private server in her New York state home, instead of a government one for messages she sent and received as secretary of state.

The move by the FBI to classify some of the material could further fuel criticism that she handled sensitive information on her private email.
