Bill Clinton 'lost vital White House nuclear codes'

For several months during Bill Clinton's administration, a former top military officer says the White House lost the card with a set of numbers for opening the briefcase containing the codes for a nuclear attack.

Gen Hugh Shelton, who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, said in his new memoir, "Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior" that "the codes were actually missing for months. That's a big deal -- a gargantuan deal."

A similar claim was made by Lt Col Robert Patterson, a former aide, in a book published seven years ago. He was one of the men who carried the briefcase, known as the "football", and he said that the morning after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke that he made a routine request of the president to present the card so that he could provide an updated version.

Then Hillary sent the info to Huma and Anthony.

When President Clinton’s motorcade left without him the aide who carries the briefcase then had to walk the half-mile back to the White House from the Reagan building where the summit was being held.

“We’re safe,” remarked Mr Lockhart following the safe arrival of the aide, adding: “These things happen.”

White House FBI files controversy

The revelations provoked a strong political and press reaction because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top presidential advisors.

Under criticism, Livingstone resigned from his position.

Allegations were made that senior White House figures, including First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, may have requested and read the files for political purposes, and that the First Lady had authorized the hiring of the underqualified Livingstone.”

Yes. If Trump breaks thru to Clinton & Clan indictments, shiite’s gonna fly.

When it happens, Illary will immediately suffer some mental impairment. Willy probably won’t survive it.

Yes, 2003 originally. But I am asking about the period 1998-2000 while Bill Clinton was still POTUS. Knowledge of this would be an enormous scandal at any time, but what I most want to know is what was known/done/said and by whom, while Bill Clinton was POTUS. Who covered for him etc.

And if people in DoD don’t think “the President’s nuclear codes are missing” is such a national emergency, does that imply that the POTUS is not really in control of nuclear launch, that it is not such a “big deal” if POTUS loses his card with nuclear codes? How could this sort of thing NOT be one of the most momentous of emergencies?

Either it does not really undermine our entire nuclear deterrent, or something else is going on that we have not been told.

I remember hearing about this at the time.

Interesting that we are hearing about it again.

How do you lose such a card in the White House? Most likely it was stolen! - another Russian coup!

OH! MY! GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe while Bill and Hill are doing their “American Tour”, someone can ask him about this???

Although I don’t know anyone who would go, to ask the question....

I’m reminded of the C-130 that was part of the Clinton traveling support operation that crashed in Wyoming after a Clinton party. Military and Secret Service were killed. More people who discovered too much about Bill and Hill.
