In reply to the discussion: State Department report slams Clinton email use [View all]Samantha
(9,314 posts)15. Hillary was running her own rogue State Department on the side
In that arena, she continued to deal with Sidney Blumenthal, who Obama had banned from his administration from Day 1. Hillary had been informed of this. Since Blumenthal could not be put on the State Department payroll for the work and subsequent advice he gave Hillary, it was arranged for him to become a Clinton Foundation employee. Some of that advice Hillary assumed as her own position on matters, and she carried those positions to the President's Office. I have long wondered how he felt when he found out she was against his rules dealing with Blumenthal. I assume he must have been livid.
