For whatever reason, Hillary Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal is conducting interviews on cable news and is arguably making her situation worse.
On CNN this morning, Blumenthal, an amateur Abraham Lincoln historian, made a strange claim when asked about if he helped set up her server: “I had nothing to do with that. I write Lincoln and I write Hillary — and one of them has replied.”
Host Alisyn Camerota laughed and moved on.
On Monday, Blumenthal appeared on MSNBC and after claiming he wants “transparency” in the investigation, he was asked directly whether he’s been interviewed.
“Have you been interviewed by the FBI in this email investigation?” Chris Matthews asked him.
After stammering for a bit, Blumenthal said, “My feeling about this, that uh, I’m as eager as anybody for this, uh, to be resolved.
“And what I would like, uh, for this to, is, is, for this to be completely transparent and for, uh, the Department of Justice to finally issue, uh, its report.
“I have been urging transparency. I urged that my deposition before the Benghazi committee be made public the second I walked out. I wanted it to be a public hearing and not a private one,” he said.
“So I’m in favor of complete transparency in this process and a very quick resolution so that we can see so that in my view,” he continued, before Matthews cut him off.
“Have you been interviewed yet by the FBI on this matter?” Matthews pressed.
“Well, I really don’t want to talk about an ongoing inquiry right now,” Blumenthal said, apparently forgetting his statement 15 seconds before.
He said we should “wait and see” until the end of the investigation.
