The money laundering Clinton Foundation paid Sidney Blumenthal at least $10,000 per month while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. One of Blumenthal’s jobs was to advise Hillary Clinton Libya. If you ever wondered who the Clinton’s version of Valerie Jarrett is, that would be Sidney Blumenthal. He is an uber-rich Clinton hack with his tentacles in basically everything the Clintons do. Probably Billy J’s affairs too. Only difference from Jarrett is that Blumenthal wasn’t born in Iran like Jarrett.
Sidney Blumenthal piad $10,000 per month by Clinton Foundation to advise on Libya |
Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime confidant of Bill and Hillary Clinton, earned about $10,000 a month as a full-time employee of the Clinton Foundation while he was providing unsolicited intelligence on Libya to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to multiple sources familiar with the arrangement.
Blumenthal was added to the payroll of the Clintons’ global philanthropy in 2009 — not long after advising Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign — at the behest of former president Bill Clinton, for whom he had worked in the White House, say the sources.

While Blumenthal’s foundation job focused on highlighting the legacy of Clinton’s presidency, some officials at the charity questioned his value and grumbled that his hiring was a favor from the Clintons, according to people familiar with the foundation. They say that, during a 2013 reform push, Blumenthal was moved to a consulting contract that came with a similar pay rate but without benefits — an arrangement that endured until March.
