Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal ducked questions about whether he would continue to advise Hillary Clinton if she were elected president, according to video released by a Republican opposition research group.
The video, first posted by the Daily Caller on Monday, shows the exchange between Blumenthal and a tracker with the group America Rising during a question-and-answer session at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge. Blumenthal was at the theater to promote his book about Abraham Lincoln.
“If Hillary Clinton is elected president, will you continue advising her?” asked the America Rising tracker. “And wasn’t the Obama administration right in saying you were a liability?”
“Thank you very much for that question,” said Blumenthal. “I’m sure you can identify the political group you’re with.”
When the tracker pressed the long-time Clinton aide for an answer, Blumenthal avoided it again and then changed the subject.
Another America Rising video from a book-signing at the event shows a tracker asking Blumenthal, “Who’s closer to Hillary, you or Huma?”
“You have to tell me who’s paying you,” replied Blumenthal.
The Clinton aide has come under scrutiny due to his role as an off-the-books adviser to Hillary Clinton while she was at the State Department. Emails released by the State Department show Blumenthal sent Clinton lengthy “confidential” memos on Libya in the months leading up to the Benghazi attack, based on information from a personal intelligence network.
This is not the first time Blumenthal has dodged questions about his affiliation with Clinton during a book event.
Politico later reported that Blumenthal was paid $10,000 a month by the foundation, while he was advising Hillary Clinton on Libya policy.

This was taken from the above article. The Tard can't even connect this dot LOL. Paying someone that much to advise on Libya policy and Hillary being hit on by the Ambassador to Libya for more security and he gets killed anyways. That is more than a dot, that is a bullseye.

Monday while campaigning in Kentucky before the Tuesday primary, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton faced off with a heckler who did not agree with Clinton’s criticism of the state’s Republican governor, Matt Bevin.
After a woman interpreted her Clinton said, “You are entitled to your opinion, but you’re not entitled to your own facts! And I’ll be happy when I finish talking to everybody else for you to come over here and you can tell me what you are saying, and we can talk and we can hear whats on your mind. But I’ll tell you what the truth is. And you know it’s time people stopped listening to Republican propaganda!”

MSNBC’s Morning Joe panel mostly agreed Wednesday morning that the process for nominating the Democratic Party’s nominee for president has gotten “ugly” and been rigged for Hillary Clinton.
“This has gone off the rails,” host Joe Scarborough said. “It’s gotten really ugly.”
“Bernie keeps using the phrase ‘rigged.’ It has been rigged. It only enhances his accomplishment, what he has done,” panelist Mike Barnicle said.
Over the weekend, the Democratic Party of Nevada held their convention to assign the remaining delegates, but Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I., Vt.) supporters interrupted the process with chants, throwing chairs and threats of violence against the chairwoman of the state’s party.
Sanders did not immediately come out and condemn the violence. Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.) accused the Sanders campaign of excusing the behavior of his supporters. The campaign later issued a letter where it condemned all forms of violence but did not apologize.
“The fact that the Sanders campaign has issued a ‘but’ in between condemnation of violence and frustration over the process seems to excuse their supporters’ actions, which is unacceptable,” Schultz said.
Mika Brzezinski took issue with what Schultz said and said that the system that she had put in place since the beginning was meant to be a coronation for Clinton.
“Hillary Clinton has had every advantage, every break given to her from the very beginning by this Democratic party. It has been rigged,” Scarborough said.
The panel went on to discuss the current dynamics in the Democratic party and certain topics that were main discussions within the party that have fallen away because of the Clintons.
