Our compatriot @15poundstogo (who’s fine, just taking time from Twitter) asked me to continue his legacy by threading new FOIA docs released last week by the State Department. 11 new HRC emails were released. This isn’t my main area of expertise but let’s see what we have.
First we have an email dated 6/14/09, subject “Iran.” Some direction from Dennis (?) and Jake (prob Sullivan). Feel free to drop a comment with thought on what this is about or where HRC may have been returning from that day.
Next we have an email “From Joe Wilson” dated 12/23/09. Note he sends direct to HRC rather than “through Sid” (Blumenthal) based on the content. Appears USAID wasn’t spending as much in Afghanistan as some would like due to perceived danger. Wilson is on the board of Symbion.
The next several emails are from the week of 8/28/11. There is a meeting in Paris (Friends of Libya) to discuss unfreezing Libyan assets. Looks like this may be a briefing for Obama prior to the meeting.
A few more regarding the upcoming “small group” meeting to discuss Libya.
Looks like there was an issue with the UAE sending some funds to Libya to assist. The transaction was routed through the US and then blocked because of sanctions on the receiving banks. UAE not happy, because they want to be able to say they sent funds.
“It is coming.” Seems like some Benghazi discussion in addition to Romney’s 47% remark here.
Here we have HRC’s schedule for 11/2/12. A meeting at the White House. Not sure what it’s regarding.
And that’s it! Short and sweet, certainly not very much in that latest release. Others more informed on the politics of the day back then may have some better insights than I do. Finally, here’s link to all 11 of the new emails: foia.state.gov/Search/results…
