Blumenthal, a former journalist who has been nicknamed “Grassy Knoll” because of his tendency to favour conspiracy theories, made the charge in an interview on Dutch television TV Nieuwsuur after Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump.
He blamed FBI director James Comey for Hillary’s defeat and said the new administration is set to become the “most corrupt and self-enriching” one, in essence admitting to his own shortcomings.
Blumenthal described Hillary’s demise as a “coup,” which was orchestrated from the FBI’s New York office, and involved former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a backer of President-elect Donald Trump.
“It was the result of a cabal of right-wing agents of the FBI in the New York office attached to Rudy Giuliani, who was a member of Trump’s campaign,” Blumenthal said. “And I think it’s not unfair to call it a coup.”
“A coup, even?” the Dutch television interviewer replied, visibly stunned.
“Yeah, a coup d’etat,” Blumenthal replied, seemingly forgetting that the same electoral system elected president Barack Obama to serve for eight years. He added that the Trump administration would be based on “racism and exclusion”.
Blumenthal emailed frequently with Clinton while she was secretary of state and was well aware of her corrupt pay-for-play scheme, as WikiLeaks exposed.
