Fox News Guest Ed Klein: Hillary Email Controversy an ‘Inside Job’ Ordered by Obama, Valerie Jarrett

Check out this crazy ass conspiracy theory:

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-guest-hillary-email-controversy-an-inside-job-ordered-by-obama-valerie-jarrett/

Author and purported Clinton insider Ed Klein has a theory about how the Hillary Clinton email controversy came about: it was sparked by President Barack Obama and ordered by senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.

Appearing on Fox and Friends Wednesday morning, Klein said he’s not the only one who buys into that explanation, and that Bill Clinton also believes it. According to Klein’s sources, the White House is leaking information to their “friends in the mainstream media” about Hillary’s actions as Secretary of State. Klein also said his sources from within the White House told him that Hillary is under six investigations that were sparked by the Obama Administration.

Klein said his sources at the State Department say they are seeing “tons of documents being wheeled through the corridors from Clinton’s old offices, and they’re going through these looking for problems on her expense account, on her dealings with foreign leaders — all of this, I’m told, is prompted by Valerie Jarrett and the president, who do not want to see Hillary Clinton president of the United States.”

Many of Obama's foriegn policy headaches have been caused by Hillary and her neocon appointments. Particularly Vicky Nuland. Her bad judgements and appointments played a strong roll in his problems with Syria, and Isis. The Clinton neocons in the state department are the reason Isis is attacking us with our own weapons.

I do not recall any other President ever having so many problems with a Secretary of State. It became painfully obvious that Secretary of State was the price paid to get her to play ball in the general election.

Rahm as Chief of Staff might also have been part of that. Probably not, though. Lots of people claimed Hillary was furious with Rahm for not openly supporting her against Obama. That is one of the reasons I am ABC. Not out of any love for Rahm. But Rahm was a Chicagoan before he was on Clinton's team. Stuck between the two he sat out the election. How could anyone begrudge him that out? Doing so was truly petty.

I think they likely saw him as just a go between for Obama's team and Clinton's group. Obama didn't seem too broke up watching Rahm head back to Chicago!

Plus I find it entirely credible that Bill Clinton wants to re-litigate 2008. He tried to convince Hillary to run against Obama again in 2012. The Clintons have a history of being surrounded by odious toads as advisers and cling-on sycophants. I absolutely expect Hillary to run against Obama as the strawman in the upcoming election rather than against the GOP. Spoiler alert, her campaign will collapse in the process.
