Hillary Clinton Ally Sidney Blumenthal WON'T SAY If He’s Been Interviewed By FBI

[Segami]

Blumenthal: "I've been urging transparency".......but I won't tell you if I've been interviewed by the FBI....

When quizzed by MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Monday night, Clinton ally Sidney Blumenthal dodged questions about whether or not he had spoken to the FBI about Hillary Clinton‘s private email server.

“I guess the first question is have you been interviewed by the FBI for those email investigation by the FBI, have you been interviewed?” the host of Hardball asked Blumenthal to begin the interview.

Blumenthal gave a long answer calling for transparency, but ignoring Matthews’ question. “But Sid, have you been interviewed by the FBI yet on this matter?” he tried again.

“I really don’t want to talk about an ongoing inquiry right now,” Blumenthal responded.


“You can’t say whether you’ve been interviewed or not?” Matthews pressed.

“My feeling about it is that let’s wait and see at the end and see what happens to everybody involved in it and see what the resolution is,” he said.

2. Typical Clinton Machine BS...

Do we really want a replay of the 1990's with the same sleazy cast?

3. It's plain old weaseling. He had more "uh s" than words.

6. I was surprised at how hesitant he was.

Not as slick as Hillary.

11. I've never seen him before. He was not slick. Mathews actually kept after him. Surprise.

[Faux pas]

4. Kickin'

for protection from the dark side.

5. Cue up MADtv 'sneaky snake'

I am guessing he has more than a few felonies bubbling up.

7. "I'm all for transparency..."

"It's just truth that I have a problem with."

8. Resolution?

"a formal expression of opinion or intention made, usually after voting, by a formal organization,
a legislature, a club, or other group."

Left wondering what "is" is.

9. Here's a question, though

Why did Hillary send Blumenthal out right now?

He didn't really say anything exculpatory. Or was he speaking only for himself in light of his current jeopardy?

10. Nothing happens by chance.....

someone made this call for Sid.

12. Good question...

My guess is that he would not be going out to the media unless explicitly told to do so. Thing is I don't think he did himself or Clinton any favors with that interview.

13. have you seen the whole thing?

I have not. Just the excerpt about the FBI.

I wonder what came before.

14. I think he was talking about his new book on Lincoln...

I couldn't find the whole clip just some snip on Mediate where he was there to talk about his book.
Is the book to pay his legal bills and/or to show his face to distract from what might be coming? He had to know he'd be asked about his e-mails. But, Matthews wasn't going to push what most of us here know.

It strikes me as getting him out there...but, for what?
