On May 14, 2011 an email exchange between Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer shows they are negotiating with Tyler Drumheller to contract with Gen. David Grange to send four operatives on a week-long mission to Tunis, [[Tunisia]], and to the border of [[Libya]] and back. Blumenthal joined a business partnership with Shearer, former CIA official Tyler Drumheller, and former Major General Grange in Grange’s company Osprey Global Solutions. Osprey was trying to win a contract with the Libyan jihadis to train and assist them in the [[Libyan war]], needing Sec. Clinton's approval. Shearer writes, “Sid, do you think the general has to send four guys. He told us three guys yesterday, a translator and two other guys. I understand the difficulty of the mission and realize that K [a Libyan] will be repaid but I am going to need an itemized budget for these guys.”<ref>https://www.propublica.org/article/private-emails-reveal-ex-clinton-aides-secret-spy-network </ref>. An email from Drumheller to Blumenthal reveals that the trip will cost around $60,000 for four people, including someone named Khalifa al Sherif. This person is a secret source known as “K” in some of Blumenthal’s other Libya-related emails to Clinton. (Gawker, 3/27/2015)<ref>http://www.thompsontimeline.com/tag/cody-shearer/ </ref>
