Remember back when Hillary Clinton spent a full day and into the night facing Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi committee last fall…most of it with a smug look of boredom on her face because she thought she was untouchable? Remember how the questioning seemed to always revert back to Hillary’s emails?

We may now have a somewhat clearer insight into that.

As I have previously posted, here in The National Patriot, the two investigations, Benghazi and the email investigations have converged. It is growing increasingly difficult to separate one from the other and things aren’t looking good for Hillary as a result.

During that Benghazi hearing, one of the key components seemed to be one Sidney Blumenthal and his emails both sent to and received from Hillary Clinton regarding Benghazi. Many people, our readers included, were somewhat and rightfully curious as to why Hillary’s emails and those of Blumenthal seemed to be of such importance to the Congressional committee investigating Benghazi.

Well…another piece of the puzzle seems to have fallen into place.

Regarding the email investigation…

Blumenthal was sending to Hillary, above top secret, or SAP documents…documents that he, as a private citizen who had not had any access to secured info in more than a decade, should have never had access to in the first place.

John R. Schindler, a former NSA analyst in counterintelligence, a man with knowledge of the inner workings of the agency, has reported that Blumenthal somehow got his hands on above top secret, SAP documents from the NSA and less than 24 hours later, sent them, in whole or in part, to Hillary Clinton via her unsecured private email account on June 8^th, 2011 with regard to top level security meetings amongst the military leaders in Sudan.

According to Schindler…” Specifically, this information was illegally lifted from four different NSA reports, all of them classified “Top Secret / Special Intelligence.” Worse, at least one of those reports was issued under the GAMMA compartment, which is an NSA handling caveat that is applied to extraordinarily sensitive information (for instance, decrypted conversations between top foreign leadership, as this was). GAMMA is properly viewed as a SIGINT Special Access Program, or SAP, several of which from the CIA Ms. Clinton compromised in another series of her “unclassified” emails.”

The question, of course, is how did he get that information from the NSA in the first place.

For the answer to that, we must understand another key component of the Hillary email scandal…that being that she deliberately, intentionally and knowingly set about using a private email server and address as a response directly to the NSA which had thwarted her attempt to place herself above the law.

During Hillary’s 2008 run for the White House, she became addicted to her Blackberry and she, believing she was at the same level as Obama, demanded the NSA build for her, a totally secure Blackberry just like the one they spent millions of taxpayer dollars to build for Obama.

The NSA declined to do so and cited Hillary’s close proximity to her desk and SCIF ( a completely secure room within the Department of State required for the reading and sending of SAP documents) as the reason.

Naturally, this pissed off the queen and she set about using her own private server and email account forthwith. It also set in place a one-sided feud between Hillary and the NSA…if they weren’t going to do her bidding…she’d show them a thing or two.

In order to do what Hillary wanted to do, in the face of the NSA’s denial of her request for a million dollar phone for nothing more than her own convenience, Hillary needed low friends in high places to flaunt her superiority above the law and beneath the radar.

I suspect she found someone within the NSA who had access to SAP and other classified documents at a point before they were entered into the SCIF system who would forward unmarked copies to Blumenthal who would then, in turn, forward them to Hillary on her private, unsecured server and email account. In fact, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Obama were completely aware of this and I believe that either Obama or Bill Clinton assisted in making that low friend in a high place connection for her but my money is on Obama.

Why?

Because Sidney Blumenthal wanted to work for the Department of State and one of the things that came out of the Hillary testimony before Gowdy’s Committee was that someone in the White House turned him down. Turned him down…why? So as to have an outside man with the ability to pass along inside information?

One thing we know for a fact is that once a SAP document is in the SCIF system…there is no way to copy it as no outside devices are allowed in a SCIF room or facility. Therefore, it stands to reason that the copying of them was done before they reached the system. This also provided Hillary with “plausible deniability” as demonstrated by her oft repeated statements regarding “nothing in my system was marked as classified.”

Plausible deniability however, does not excuse one from responsibility and Hillary is responsible as she always knew, and knew damn well, that what has amounted to now more than 1,700 documents of a classified nature, including SAP documents did in fact exist in her private, unsecured system and she was emailing and receiving such documents throughout her reign of treason and espionage at the Department of State.

This leads us back to Benghazi and the convergence of the two, once separate investigations.

If Blumenthal was, and he was, sending Hillary SAP and other forms of classified material…material he had no clearance to see and she and she knew it, it is not at all out of line, especially considering the various lines of questioning at her Congressional Committee hearing, that Blumenthal was also in possession of classified material relating directly to Benghazi.

We also now know as a fact that some of the highly classified and SAP material on Hillary’s private, unsecured system related directly to Ambassador Stevens and his whereabouts in the hours leading up to the terrorist attacks in Benghazi on September 11^th, 2012…details and information that were…again…classified and/or SAP in nature.

What is emerging here is a cozy combination of treason and espionage.

While Hillary’s Department of State was acting as the strawman in a covert and treasonous weapons running black-op between Islamic terrorists in Libya to Islamic terrorists in Syria via Benghazi, Sidney Blumenthal, it appears, was the strawman between Hillary’s low friend in a high place at the NSA and Hillary herself to transfer SAP and other classified material from the NSA to Hillary’s private server and email account.

Let’s also not forget that Blumenthal, an old friend of the Clintons, was being paid and paid quite well by any standard for his role as Hillary’s strawman as he was being financed to the tune of $10,000.00 per month by…the Clinton Foundation…as a full time employee throughout her time as the Secretary of State.

Here are a few more notable details concerning Sidney Blumenthal…

Before the attacks in Benghazi, Blumenthal was involved, financially, with Osprey Global Solutions…a private military contractor that wanted to do business with Libyan “rebels” who, as we all know, were in fact al-Qaeda and Blumenthal had been pressuring Hillary to clear the path for that “business” relationship which, as the rebels were actually the enemy, would have amounted to a combination of treason and a mercenary operation.

Blumenthal also ran interference for Hillary with the media, coopting the media to report favorably on Hillary by providing manipulated stories to the media.

And Hillary was passing along Blumenthal’s emails, at least some of them to Ambassador Stevens, asking Stevens to read them on the exact same day she received, but claimed she never saw, emails from Stevens begging for more security in Benghazi.

So Sidney Blumenthal, it seems, was the strawnam and somebody at the NSA was the inside source feeding secured info to the uncleared Blumenthal who would then pass it to the unsecured server system of Hillary Clinton, but the as yet unknown insider at the NSA wasn’t Hillary’s only insider.

There was Bryan Pagliano who, after getting an immunity deal, has apparently been singing like a canary to a grand jury and according to those close to the email investigation, Pagliano has been busy providing the grand jury with cross-referencing information. He’s been able to tell the grand jury where Hillary was when she ether sent or received classified intel in her secret email account.

Since this happened from the very beginning of her reign of treason and espionage at State until her last day on the job, you can bet Pagliano’s info is going to be quite useful not only to the email investigation being headed by the FBI but also to the Benghazi investigation being headed by Trey Gowdy. Will any of this reveal who the NSA insider was? Possibly because, as Hillary’s personal IT specialist, Pagliano may well, under his immunity deal, be tasked with going through Blumenthal’s cyber technology to unearth that name and as one who had to have access to everything involved with Hillary’s private system…he knows exactly when Blumenthal sent classified and SAP documents to her so, by further cross-referencing…he could well be the key.

And so it now seems that the email investigation, brought about by Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi investigation may well open doors and slam shut cells at both ends of the spectrum but the real question remains… what of the ringleader, Hillary Clinton?

While she most certainly should, she won’t spend a night in a federal prison for her crimes as an Obama pardon, to cover his own ass will be the outcome but also rest assured, between the findings of the Gowdy Committee, which I expect to be made public sometime in mid-May, and what the FBI is digging through even as you read this…the DOJ will either have to indict her or face a leak the likes of which sank the Titanic if they don’t.

Either way, the truth shall set Hillary free of ever becoming the president.
