(55,745 posts)42. Is that why Sidney B's emails were REDACTED in full?
I'm sure there's an entirely logical explanation.
January 30, 2016: It is revealed that four emails from Sid Blumenthal to Clinton have been entirely redacted. This is notable because at the time Clinton is secretary of state, Blumenthal is a private citizen (and journalist and Clinton Foundation employee) with no government security clearance at the time. Dozens of other Blumenthal emails have been partly redacted, but here are the four fully redacted ones, with only the subject headings known:
Twenty-two emails have been deemed "top secret," so no details whatsoever about them have been made public. It is not known if any of them were sent by Blumenthal. (The Daily Caller, 1/30/2016) The New York Observer comments, "How Mr. Blumenthal, who held no US Government position after January 2001, when Bill Clinton left the White House, had access to classified information a decade after that is not explained." Furthermore, "Since Mr. Blumenthal's emails were illegally accessed by a private hacker [Guccifer, in March 2013], they can be safely assumed in to be in the hands of numerous foreign intelligence services." (The New York Observer, 2/1/2016)

* June 23, 2009, titled "N. Ireland/Shaun." This is a likely reference to Shaun Woodward, who is the secretary of state for Northern Ireland at the time.
* June 20, 2011, titled "memo hrc Bahrain/Iran." This is redacted because it contains information related to foreign activities.
* June 28, 2012, titled "some intel on internal german/euro maneuvering."
* August 3, 2012. This email is entirely redacted except for the statement that the email contains information from "sources with access to the highest levels of the Governments and institutions."
