Former Gonzo Hillary Supporter Larry Johnson: Sid Used to Pitch Me This Crap All The Time

Chaser: Confession of a Hillary Insider, by Larry Johnson.

I am shocked at the audacity of Hillary Clinton to decry Donald Trump as a birther because her campaign not only pushed that item in a bid to discredit Barack Obama, but mounted a sustained campaign attack Obama on a broad array of issues. How do I know? I was part of that effort and was in regular email and phone coordination with Sidney Blumenthal. Sidney was the conduit who fed damaging material to me that I subsequently posted on my blog.

In some cases Sid Blumenthal actually provided a draft piece that I would slightly modify and publish under my name. Most of the time, however, Sid provided background information and researched material that I would use to craft pieces. How many? I am providing the links to 63 blog articles that I posted (and in one case was posted by Susan Hudgens, who assisted with the blog) between January 2008 and June 30, 2008.

Here is simple summary of material (in writing or through a verbal briefing) that I received from Sid?

1. Information surrounding the corrupt business relationship between Barack Obama and Tony Rezko.

2. Information about Barack Obama's ties to Palestinian radicals.

3. Information concerning Barack Obama’s longstanding ties to the American terrorist, Bill Ayers.

4. Information concerning Barack Obama’s close ties to radical clerics--i.e., Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger.

5. Information concerning allegations that Barack Obama was not a natural born citizen.

6. Information concerning Barack Obama being adopted by Indonesian Muslim Lolo Soetoro.

There's more -- he says Sid pushed him the Michele Obama "Whitey" tape too. ( A fiction, it turned out -- Johnson says Sid "played" him on that.)

Now, I think he might have published this before my tweet, meaning, well, my bold prediction was about the past.

But still I'm going to mark this up as a hit.

Another Denial from Blumenthal: Two accusers, two denials -- looks like it's all tied up!
