I\u2019m not sure there\u2019s much we can do but be forewarned,\u201d he continued, in reference to news that Sidney Blumenthal, a long time Clinton confidant who was banned from joining the administration by White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, was advising Mrs. Clinton in an informal capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The email was sent to Jennifer Palmieri, the campaign\u2019s communications director, and Nick Merrill, Clinton\u2019s traveling press secretary. Senior Clinton aides Cheryl Mills, Heather Samuelson, and Katherine Turner were also copied on the message. All three are lawyers who have counseled Clinton throughout the probe of the private email server she maintained during her tenure as Secretary of State. All three were present when she was questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2016\/09\/06\/meet-the-lawyers-who-repped-hillary-clinton-in-the-email-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\">(RELATED: Meet The Lawyer Who Repped Hillary Clinton In The Email Investigation)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mills forwarded the email to \u201chdr29@hrcoffice.com,\u201d the email address Clinton <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2016\/10\/06\/revealed-hillary-clintons-new-email-address\/\" target=\"_blank\">appears<\/a> to have been using at the time.
