Trump Was Right – Clinton Adviser Sid Blumenthal Spread Birther Story
By Joel Pollack – Breitbart News
New evidence is emerging that Hillary Clinton’s campaign was, in fact, responsible for spreading the original Birther conspiracy theory in 2008, which alleged that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and therefore potentially ineligible for the presidency.
Though Hillary Clinton — and the media — furiously denied that charge after it was made by Republican nominee Donald Trump on Friday morning, editor James Asher remembered Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal spreading the rumor.
Asher, the former Washington, D.C. bureau chief for McClatchy, tweeted on Thursday evening in response to Hillary Clinton:
@HillaryClinton So why did your man #sidblumenthal spread the #obama birther rumor to me in 2008, asking us to investigate? Remember?
— James Asher (@jimasher) September 16, 2016
He also tweeted that Blumenthal had personally shopped the Birther story to him — in person — in 2008:
#CNN says #Hillary team in 2008 never raised #birther issue. #SidBlumenthal, long-time #HRC buddy, told me in person #Obama born in #kenya
— James Asher (@jimasher) September 16, 2016
Blumenthal’s tactics in the 2008 campaign, on this and other issues, were so toxic that the Obama administration rejected any appointment for him in Hillary Clinton’s State Department. (Nevertheless, she continued to retain Blumenthal as an adviser, exchanging classified information and intelligence with him on Libya, the terror attacks in Benghazi, and other topics.)
Some journalists continue to defend Clinton. Mark Murray, senior political editor for NBC News, said Friday that the fact that “someone” — i.e. Blumenthal — shopped the Birther story around was not, by itself, proof the Clinton campaign “started” it.

Mister Asher better be careful, lest the Clinton Foundation “suicide” him with two shots to the back of the head while kneeling.
Good way too disappear these days ….talking shit about the Clintons
Those who remember 2008 campaign, also remember the news of BIRTHER claim and the release of Obama’s famous picture were both linked to Hillary’s campaign. And at the time, it was reported Bill was responsible for putting the news out—–though, Blumenthal, as a very close friend, was advising and helping Hillary. The possibility of three of them getting together and come up with the idea is not far fetched!!!
After all, who else would have benefited from this rumor beside Hillary?
AND TO CNN: unlike Hillary, We still can “RECALL” some facts!!!!
Who trusts the MSM any more???
Or the FBI??
Or the DOJ?
Or our President?
Or Hillary?
Or our Justice System
‘Nuff said….
The Clinton “Mafia” network is wide spread over the US Government. They just know when someone has the goods on Clinton so they do their sworn duty to eliminate the problem, thus so many accidents and suicides by witnesses against Clinton. It is an agreement by a network of college, Lawyer friends to always cover each other so their climbing to the top can be achieved. That is the stuff a suspense novel is made of. Only it is real life and a level of corruption in the government at the top, that has never been felt before. Possibly Obama has survived [lack of impeachment] his presidency because he and his minions have entered into the net.
