Clinton public corruption

[Dale00]

Russia likely has all of the Hillary e-mails

Despite a clear warning received almost three years ago, it has taken a heated presidential campaign and an FBI investigation to make us aware of the national security threat of Hillary Clinton’s unsecured state department e-mails. The Kremlin’s cyber warfare army has had ample opportunity to steal Clinton’s entire e-mail cache (including 31,830 “private” e-mails). Such hacking would likely have taken place before the Kremlin’s propaganda arm, RT (Russia Today), published Sidney Blumenthal’s e-mails to Clinton on March 20, 2013, presumably sending out alarms at that late date to Clinton to secure her private server.

The Clinton cache of e-mail correspondence in the hands of the Kremlin or other hostile intelligence agencies could represent one of America’s greatest intelligence disasters, giving Vladimir Putin the opportunity to determine the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election or, barring that, to cast a cloud over a Clinton presidency. The national security implications of Hillary Clinton’s cavalier approach to security far outweigh the legal consequences of her actions.

The timeline of the Clinton e-mail scandal raises eyebrows about the curious lack of interest in this story when it first broke:

In March 2013, the Romanian hacker “Guccifer” distributed four intercepted Blumenthal e-mails, relating to Libya and Benghazi, to news organizations and political figures throughout the world, but only RT published them. On their release by RT, I immediately posted excerpts and analysis, concluding that, “Unhappy with the overthrow of Kaddafi, Putin would want to emphasize the sinister role played by the CIA in Libya.” My article, which was picked up by Drudge Report, attracted more than a third of a million viewers who could see for themselves Clinton’s private e-mail address and the contents of Blumenthal’s Libya reports. The RT publication was greeted by almost total media silence.

On March 2, 2015, after two years of silence, the New York Times reported that Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, used a private e-mail account. Given the 2013 RT publication, the new news was that Clinton used her private email exclusively and did not have an official state department account. The Times wrote apologetically that “Mrs. Clinton is not the first government official—or first secretary of state—to use a personal e-mail account on which to conduct official business.” The Times thus provided Hillary Clinton’s “everyone did it” defense.

Piecemeal releases of e-mails, beginning on May 22, 2015, in response to congressional and freedom-of-information requests, continue to fuel the daily dripping of scandal. The Clinton team has attempted to divert the discussion to partisan politics and the technicalities of over-classification. Her assertion that no classified information passed through her private server does not hold water. Are we to believe that a secretary of state received or sent zero classified documents via e-mail during a three-year period? Despite an ongoing FBI investigation and a possible referral to the justice department, candidate Clinton continues to contend that the e-mail scandal is a concoction of her political enemies.

The national security risks of the Clinton e-mail scandal have taken an undeserved backseat. Putin’s Kremlin has one of the most sophisticated cyber warfare systems the world has ever seen. Kremlin cyber experts would surely have used the Guccifer e-mails to try to access Clinton’s e-mails on an account that apparently had no special security protections. A Kremlin penetration of Clinton’s private e-mail account would give it the world’s most complete record of her secretary of state correspondence including the almost 32,000 emails that the Clinton team deemed private and made unavailable.

Consider Vladimir Putin with a full inventory of Clinton e-mails. Putin’s KGB training was in running agents, most recruited by kompromat (compromising information) that he had gathered, meaning that he would immediately have understood the possibilities. Putin’s FSB and military security experts would be told to scour the load of e-mails for operational information, names, addresses and dates. As kompromat specialists, they would look for personal Clinton material ranging from embarrassing to compromising.

As a KGB agent who cut his teeth on kompromat, Putin would consider several options on how and when to use the Hillary file with maximum effect. If he preferred Hillary’s Republican opponent in the general election, he could release enough incriminating information (that could not be traced back to the Kremlin, of course) to scuttle her candidacy. For those who believe Putin would not dare interfere with a U.S. election, consider his strange flirtation with Donald Trump. Putin, however, may prefer Hillary to give him a sitting U.S. president on whom he has a big stack of kompromat. If Putin rules out blackmail, the Kremlin could selectively leak damaging information to U.S. allies and enemies that would weaken the United States’ hand in world affairs throughout a Clinton presidency.

Those who follow Kremlin propaganda understand that it is not necessary for Putin to have Clinton’s e-mails to cause serious damage to a Clinton presidency. All he needs is that many believe he has Hillary’s e-mails.

The Kremlin specializes in fabricating narratives (such as the U.S. intent to steal Siberia) that are false but may contain a small kernel of truth. Putin’s army of “information technologists” (propagandists) can release fabrications to its numerous clandestine sources throughout the world. Clinton might ignore or deny those narratives (which cannot be traced to the Kremlin), but the mere idea that Putin has her e-mails will lend the necessary credibility to the story. The Kremlin knows that repeated lies are eventually taken as truth, so that an unsourced narrative, repeated, will eventually become the “truth.” Who knows what Putin’s information technologists can cook up to blacken the presidency of Hillary Clinton?

Hillary Clinton has laughed off the e-mail scandal as partisan or petty legalism. I hope that she and the American public understand the threat to national security her e-mails have caused. The national security threat increases if she is elected president. I would hope that the Democrat Party, and candidate Clinton understand this and do what is right for the American people.

I have said it before and I will say it again.

The Clintons are the modern day Kennedys. The more people that they kill, rape, and ruin, the more the left love them.

 

[dennishoddy]

You would think she would already been walked away from a podium in cuffs. The great cover-up is in process. The FBI has over a hundred agents working on this, and the DOJ seems to be the hold up. GTG already found out that the head of the DOJ has contributed to the Clinton slush fund. The DOJ is the plug that has to be pulled.

 

[Wheel Gun]

Well, the DOJ and FBI need to decide if they're going to exist for the rule of law or if they're just going to fully transform into a State Police. When Dems are in the White House, they seem to act like a political police force, protecting the administration and punishing domestic enemies. I don't know, maybe federal law enforcement has always been used that way. But it's terrible for a "free people" to be oppressed by these people and their buddies at the IRS.

Let's not forget another dimension of Clinton corruption: her coverup of Bill's improper relationship with a White House intern.

Even Maureen Down of the NY Times gets it:

Dowd nails why women under 65 reject Hillary

"Instead of just admitting that he had had an affair with Monica Lewinsky and taking his lumps, Bill lied and hid behind the skirts of his wife and female cabinet members, who had to go out before the cameras and vouch for his veracity, even when it was apparent he was lying.

Seeing Albright, the first female secretary of state, give cover to President Clinton was a low point in women’s rights. As was the New York Times op-ed by Steinem, arguing that Lewinsky’s will was not violated, so no feminist principles were violated. What about Clinton humiliating his wife and daughter and female cabinet members? What about a president taking advantage of a gargantuan power imbalance with a 22-year-old intern? What about imperiling his party with reckless behavior that put their feminist agenda at risk?"...

"Hillary knew that she could count on the complicity of feminist leaders and Democratic women in Congress who liked Bill’s progressive policies on women. And that’s always the ugly Faustian bargain with the Clintons, not only on the sex cover-ups but the money grabs: You can have our bright public service side as long as you accept our dark sketchy side.

Young women today, though, are playing by a different set of rules. And they don’t like the Clintons setting themselves above the rules."

And I love this comment:

In my best Church Lady voice: I can't recall who it was that said, "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." Who could it be? Could it be....M-A-D-E-L-E-I-N-E A-L-B-R-I-G-H-T?

One of Bill's old playthings, a former Miss Arkansas, says that she fears a Hillary vendetta and sleeps with a loaded semi-automatic. Maybe that is the reason that Hillary is back on the gun control kick/rant???

Crime investigation update:

Spy agencies say Clinton emails closely matched top secret documents: sources
WASHINGTON | By Mark Hosenball


U.S. spy agencies have told Congress that Hillary Clinton's home computer server contained some emails that should have been treated as "top secret" because their wording matched sections of some of the government's most highly classified documents, four sources familiar with the agency reports said.

The two reports are the first formal declarations by U.S. spy agencies detailing how they believe Clinton violated government rules when highly classified information in at least 22 email messages passed through her unsecured home server.

The State Department has already acknowledged that the emails contained top secret intelligence, though it says they were not marked that way. It has not previously been clear if the emails contained full classified documents or only some information from them.

The agencies did not find any top secret documents that passed through Clinton's server in their full version, the sources from Congress and the government's executive branch said.

However, the agency reports found some emails included passages that closely tracked or mirrored communications marked "top secret," according to the sources, who all requested anonymity. In some cases, additional classification markings meant access was supposed to be limited to small groups of specially cleared officials.

Under the law and government rules, U.S. officials and contractors may not transmit any classified information - not only documents - outside secure, government-controlled channels. Such information should not be sent even through the government's .gov email network.

The front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president and former secretary of state has insisted she broke no rules. Clinton's lawyer, David Kendall, did not respond to a request for comment. Clinton campaign spokespeople did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Two sources said some of the top secret material was related to the CIA's campaign of drone strikes against Islamist militants in the Middle East and South Asia.

That campaign has been widely reported by Reuters and other media outlets, but it officially is classified as a "Top Secret/Special Access Program" (SAP), meaning only a limited number of people whose names are on a special list are allowed to learn details about it.

One source said the reports identified some information in messages on Clinton's server that came from human sources, such as confidential CIA informants, and some from technical systems, such as spy satellites or electronic eavesdropping.

The Clinton campaign criticized the State Department's decision last month to withhold the 22 emails containing top secret information from the public, blaming it on "bureaucratic infighting" and "over-classification run amok."

"As we have previously made clear, we are not going to speak to the content of the emails," a State Department official said on Wednesday when asked about the intelligence agency reports.

Clinton's use of a private server in her New York home for her government work is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the State Department's and spy community's internal watchdogs and several Republican-controlled congressional committees.

Two of the sources told Reuters that one of the reports on the emails came from the CIA. Three sources said the other report came from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA), which analyzes U.S. spy satellite intelligence.

A spokesman for NGA did not immediately respond to requests for comment. CIA spokespeople declined to comment.

The two spy agencies' reports were sent to Congress in the past few weeks by the intelligence community inspector general, an official government watchdog for multiple spy agencies.

The inspector general's office has confirmed that it requested the reports from two intelligence agencies, but didn't identify them.

It was unclear what the congressional committees that received the classified reports, the House and Senate intelligence and foreign relations panels, will do with them. The contents cannot be discussed publicly. The committees requested intelligence reports in connection with their efforts to ensure that government secrets are appropriately protected.

Nothing to see here.

Please move on and don't forget to vote.

Several times.

The temperature is rising.

...More than 2,000 emails containing classified information was sent to and from Clinton via the unsecured server that IT experts believe was almost certainly compromised by hackers working for foreign powers like Russia and China.

Brigadier General Kenneth Bergquist, a former high-ranking intelligence and special operations official who is now a practicing attorney, told The Daily Caller News Foundation that Clinton and some of her aides face the prospect of multiple federal charges, including “knowingly” concealing operation of the private server from State Department security officials, as well as a public corruption charge of “honest services fraud.”

Honest services fraud is generally easier to prove because the charge includes unethical conduct by public officials, Bergquist said. Bergquist was appointed as the first president of the Joint Special Operations University by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 2001 after a career in intelligence and counter-terrorism.

The Inspector General for the Intelligence Community informed Congress that classified materials on her server included those ranked “Top Secret” and an even higher classification called “Special Access Programs.”
