Blumenthal: 'I'm Very Confident' There Aren't Any More Clinton Email Bombshells Coming

May 11, 2016

Sidney Blumentha, a former adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton, said he was confident that there will be no more bombshells in the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State.

As The Hill reported, host Alisyn Camerota asked Blumenthal whether a bombshell may be floating towards Clinton's campaign as it turns toward the general election against Donald Trump.

"Let's start with Hillary Clinton's emails. The big fear of many Democrats who I've spoken to, is Hillary Clinton will become the nominee of the Democratic Party and something will happen during the general," Camerota said. "There will be some bombshell. Another shoe will drop and it will scuttle her race. How confident are you that that won't happen?"

"I'm very confident that that will not happen," Blumenthal said.

"How do you know?" Camerota asked.

"My understanding is that this is a security review. It's certainly not a criminal investigation," Blumenthal said.

"But it is an investigation," Camerota said.

"It's an inquiry into whether or not anyone intentionally put classified information where it shouldn't be. And my understanding is that they will conclude and the Department of Justice will issue a statement at the end that that was not the case," Blumenthal said. "And then all those who were involved in this kind of, political hysteria, will have to unravel it."

Blumenthal is a controversial figure among some Democrats. Although he is close to the Clintons, the Obama Administration forbade him from working for Clinton in the Department of State as an adviser. Nevertheless, he did have many email exchanges with Clinton where he provided her with advice.
