Ex-State Aide Recalls Hillary’s ‘Sloppy Communications’ With Staff
http://nypost ^ | May 27, 2016 | Bob Fredericks

Posted on 05/27/2016 8:12:01 PM PDT by MarvinStinson

A former military adviser who worked for Hillary Clinton at the State Department says her “sloppy communications with her senior staff” could have undermined two counterterrorism operations.

Bill Johnson, the department’s adviser to the special operations section of the US Pacific Command in 2010 and 2011, told Newsweek that secret plans to kill the head of a Filipino jihadi group and stop Chinese armaments being smuggled into Iraq both failed.

“I had several missions that went inexplicably wrong, with the targets one step ahead of us,” said Johnson, who worked in Air Force special ops for more than 25 years before joining the State Department in 1999.

He said investigations narrowed down the source of potential leaks to Clinton’s and her aides’ use of unprotected phones — although he admitted he had no solid proof.

In the Philippines, his team targeted Umbra Jumdail, founder of the Abu Sayyaf jihadist group.

“We had good intel. We knew where he was,” Johnson said. “He would be gone three hours before, sometimes as little as a half-hour before. We knew he was getting tipped off somehow.”

Johnson came to believe that unsecure chatter between Clinton staffers in DC and the US Embassy in Manila was to blame.

“Anyone can just sit outside the embassy and listen” with eavesdropping devices, he said. “We suspected the leaks [came from] somewhere at State at the time.”

He said his team stopped warning top State officials about raids, and in February 2012, Jumdail was killed in a US-backed airstrike.

Hmmmmmmmmm.... .remember when Bill Clinton killed a camel that was standing outside an empty tent in the desert, because the intended target left the area EARLY ?

Remember that Bill Clinton had his own personal ‘server’ in the White House ? The same ‘server’ that Hillary used while in the State Department ?

The other thread explains that HILLARY DID NOT EVEN USE A PASSWORD..!

Yup, it was just **programmed into** her personal devices, and when she snapped them open,

HER EMAIL WAS OPEN..!!!

THAT, my friends, is the idiot we’re dealing with, here.

DID NOT USE A PASSWORD.

Sloppy isn’t criminal; negligent is.

I think it’s an outfit in NC that makes the tarps the truck lines use to protect cargo on 53 ft. flatbeds. It strained their equipment to the limit, but they were able to swing it.

I have no info on where they get the reverse alarms that beep loudly when she’s backing up. There isn’t much that’s more dreadful than being backed over by a wide body. Whew!

Communications? Dictators like Hillary don’t communicate, they decree. This used to be called a “Fuhrerbefel”.

Trump needs to hint at RICO Hillary. The entire Clinton Foundation, public corruption, and money laundering fits all the definitions of an international RICO syndicate. Nothing more, nothing less. A de facto RICO MiB outfit.

Come on Ben, you have to admit, she is totally hot ... don't you ever fantasize? In my fantasy, I'm a stern faced muslim brotherhood sister with long black hair, and as Hill's forwarding unmarked classified emails to Arabic donors at her passwordless computer, I sneak into the room and under her desk and lift her skirt, only it's not a skirt! Damn! Blocked from the honey! it's a HOT thigh hugging green pantsuit! "Hillaryyyyyy" I say from below the desk ... and ... well you probably know the rest. Mmmm Mmmm. So good.

Can I say IBTZ to my own post?

If Comey doesn’t indict Hillary, what do you think the reactions are going to be ..??

There’s talk that a whole bunch at the FBI will resign; or that some at the FBI will begin the slow leak of the information the FBI found about Hillary’s emails.

It was said that 150 lawyers at the FBI did the investigation and they will be furious if there is no indictment.

And .. does anybody think no indictment will damage Comey’s stellar career ..??
