clinton takes them she forwards them to one of her top -- or really her top foreign policy aide jake sullivan in the same position on her campaign as we speak. then they would be circulated as we understand from "the new york times" without any evidence that they were coming from sidney blumenthal. a couple key points "the times" zooms in on here. the day after the benghazi attacks, in blumenthal's memo, there's this prevailing theory that it was protesters who were demonstrating over a video, an internet video about prophet muhammad, and that was really where this attack happened in benghazi libya. the next day, though another memo was sent from blumenthal. he says that sharia took advantage of what is really this protester situation in libya. at that point, iran countered what the obama administration was saying. hillary clinton has said, you know, i have a lot of old friends. i was talking to an old friend. i'm not going to stop. but critics will look at the role of sidney blumenthal in this and say he's a hatchet man for the clintons. >> there's so many things to unpack here. one is the p
