Newly Uncovered Clinton Email Exchange Describes Plan To Thwart U.S. ‘Jewish Leadership’

John Bickley

On Thursday, Judicial Watch released what it says is likely the “final batch” of emails recovered or found by the FBI among the 33,000 emails Hillary Clinton tried to “delete or destroy” from her unsecured private email server. Among the emails highlighted by the government watchdog are five email exchanges Judicial Watch determined to contain classified information. The organization has also drawn attention to a few notable email exchanges, including one lengthy memo from Sid Blumenthal to Clinton warning about an effort “coordinated by Jewish institutional leaders” designed to undermine an Obama appointment and laying out a plan to thwart that alleged effort.

In the memo, titled “Good Cop, Bad Cop” and sent on January 29, 2009, Blumenthal proposed a plan to Clinton designed to counter an alleged “attack” by U.S. “Jewish leadership” on President Obama’s appointment of fomer Sen. George Mitchell as Special Envoy to the Middle East. “The same sources that informed me during the campaign that Sarah Palin had been invited to the Israel rally that you were scheduled to address without telling you are now saying that the attack last week by Abe Foxman of ADL on the appointment of George Mitchell as Special Envoy to the Middle East was coordinated by Jewish institutional leaders and carefully scripted,” Blumenthal wrote.
