This should be interesting if this actually can touch Hillary or the Clintons at all. Or how much longer Sidney Blumenthal has to live...of if we find him suicided somewhere in the near future. Any bets?

In an April 2015 letter to then-Attorney General Holder, I wrote about Sidney Blumenthal’s efforts to influence U.S. policy by leveraging his close relationship with Secretary Clinton. As many know, Secretary Clinton used Mr. Blumenthal as an off-the-books intelligence resource while she was Secretary of State. Mr. Blumenthal repeatedly sent Secretary Clinton intelligence memos and at one point Secretary Clinton told him to “keep them coming.” News articles reported that Mr. Blumenthal transmitted documentation to Secretary Clinton on behalf of the Georgian Dream, a political party in the country of Georgia.
The Justice Department never explained why it failed to require Mr. Blumenthal and his partner, John Kornblum, to register under FARA. Now, if the Justice Department thought Mr. Blumenthal’s activities on behalf of foreign interests did not require registration under the law, it
should say so. After all, if he did the right thing by not registering, then to be fair to him, the Department should explain why.
It also might help others to understand whether they are supposed to register or not. Particularly when the Trump administration has required Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn to retroactively register under the law in large part because he wrote an op-ed for The Hill. Indeed, the Trump Administration also required Paul Manafort, the Podesta Group, and Mercury LLC to register for their actions on behalf of the Ukrainian government.
