This is pretty interesting and funny:

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/442158/birtherism-sidney-blumenthal-white-house-correspondents-dinner-trump-victory

Synopsis:

1. Blumenthal starts 'birther questions' during 2008 election

2. Obama Wins

3. Trump makes hay out of it after the election, questioning his 'citizenship.' Lots of press.

4. Obama angered, makes fun of Trump at Correspondent's Dinner

5. Trump reacts by choosing to actually run in 2016

6. Trump wins!
When will Hillary realize that she has Blumenthal's research to blame for her loss, not Comey? :laugh2:

Yep, ol' Sid has been an especially corrupt cog in the Clinton machine for a long time now. He was so dirty, even, that Obama didn't want him affiliated with his administration, and that speaks volumes.

I had to chuckle when Sid attempted to lie about giving birth to the Birther thing, prompting McClatchy's James Asher to call him on it after they sent a reporter to Kenya to investigate a bogus claim. Asher was probably pissed about being lied to and spending thousands over being played.

Sid is up to his neck in the criminal investigation into the Clinton Foundation. We may yet see some very interesting charges leveled against those insiders. However, I realize that likely won't happen until the DOJ and FBI are cleaned up.
