Submitted by IWB, on October 31st, 2015

 

“And, as we see, Ben Affleck was able to contact Hillary directly (as we learned in the recent Benghazi hearing, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens did not have her contact info).”

1. She really wanted to respond to Ben Affleck

And, as we see, Ben Affleck was able to contact Hillary directly (as we learned in the recent Benghazi hearing, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens did not have her contact info). In the later email chain, Clinton gets persistent with her staff about seeing a draft of a response by the close of business, because she really wanted to respond to Affleck about the Congo that day.

2. She was really happy to get Sid’s advice

In the recent Benghazi hearing, Clinton was grilled extensively about her adviser relationship with longtime confidante Sid Blumenthal, but brushed off his advice memos marked “confidential” as just another piece of counsel that she could take or leave.
“I think it’s important that we separate out the fact that Mr. Blumenthal was not my adviser. He was not an official of the United States government. He was not passing on official information. He, like a number of my friends who would hand me a newspaper article, would buttonhole me at a reception and say ‘what about this’ or ‘what about that’ — were trying to be helpful. Some of it was. A lot of it wasn’t,” Clinton said.

3. She jokes about ‘neocon monitoring’ when email screws up

4. Libyan assassination stories make her think of home decorating

5. Her Netanyahu smack-talking gets redacted
