Hillary Clinton’s email debacle just became more of headache for the former Secretary of State, as more details about the content of her “private” emails drip out to the public.
The latest information regards an email sent to Hillary Clinton by long time friend and advisor Sidney Blumenthal–who was banned by the Obama administration from working in the Clinton State Department–the contents of which contain the true name of a CIA source working in Libya.
The Daily Caller reports:
An email that Hillary Clinton forwarded to her State Department aides as secretary of state that allegedly contained the name of a CIA source in Libya could have had “lethal” consequences, a former CIA official said Monday.
“That’s the holiest of holies inside CIA — the true identity of a secret source,” 34-year CIA veteran John Rizzo said during an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Clinton forwarded the email, which Gowdy says contains the CIA asset’s name, to some of her aides at the State Department. The email was one of 1,500 that the State Department gave Gowdy’s committee several weeks ago. About 500 of those were sent between Clinton and Blumenthal.
The “Tyler” mentioned in the email is Tyler Drumheller, a former chief of the CIA’s European unit. Drumheller and Blumenthal were involved in a North Carolina-based company called Osprey Global Solutions. Drumheller provided Blumenthal with geopolitical intelligence, which he in turn often forwarded to Clinton. Many of those intelligence reports appear to advance Osprey’s business interests.
“Even inside CIA, in internal emails or cables, or even conversations you never mention, you never talk about the true name of a human source,” Rizzo said Monday. “You use a pseudonym. I mean, honestly, it was quite stunning.”
Despite the continued revelations from her private email server, Clinton continues to defend herself by characterizing the Benghazi select committee a partisan witch hunt. Clinton insists she has done nothing illegal even though classified information has been found in hundreds of her formerly undisclosed emails housed in her private server.
