Sidney Blumenthal, an embattled former Clinton aide, made it known to associates that he was collecting information about Libya for the purposes of passing it along to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

An executive manager at the consulting firm that employs Tyler Drumheller, the man whom Blumenthal has claimed was the real author of the intelligence memos he sent to Clinton, said Blumenthal began working with Drumheller to gather information about Libya as early as 2009 and did not hide the fact that he was providing the information to Clinton.
