'The Great War of Our Time'

Hewitt: As a professional matter, do you believe that at least one or perhaps many foreign intelligence servers, services have everything that went to and from that server?

Morell: So I think that foreign intelligence services, the good ones, the good ones, have everything on any unclassified network that the government uses, whether it's a private server or a public one. They're that good.

Hewitt: So that's a yes?

Morell: Yup.

I did not expect such bluntness from so high ranking a former official, but this is exactly the same answer I have received off the record from four other very senior, very experienced decision makers in the long war. The fact is clear that Clinton acted with reckless disregard for the security of the nation she was sworn to serve.

I am surprised no one has picked up on this interview of Mike Morell former deputy director of the CIA who served at the CIA for 33 years. It just is not news even amongst the conservative side.

There is a greater bombshell than the fact that Morell thinks major governments around the world have a full copy of everything that was on Hillary's e-mail server.

The greater bombshell is to ask yourself which governments would they be? The first that came to mind was Israel. If Israel has the entire content of Hillary's server they have the power to elect the next Republican president. It would make no sense to keep the e-mails to see if Hillary gets elected and then blackmail her along with a bunch of other governments. Israel would lose out in this scenario. On the other hand if Israel waits to see who the clear Republican front runner is it can make demands of what it wants from the US once the Republican is elected. Once Israel makes its deals, it can drip, drip, drip release damaging e-mails after damaging e-mails to the point where candidate Hillary is hopelessly damaged but they would have to wait until she is clearly nominated.

This makes so much sense to me. BTW, wasn't Scott Walker recently in Israel?

I don’t get it.

Morrell is in the Hillary camp, so why is he saying this...?

He should be saying he DOUBTS the baddies have it, but instead it sounds like he’s being honest.

Why?

Maybe he sees the danger here and the implications. Hewitt seemed to really treat him seriously. You should listen to the interview. If true though the odds Israel has a copy of the server e-mails are very,very high which gives Israel all of the sudden tremendous power and the ability to elect the net Republican prez. I have never believed that those e-mails were deleted and gone forever.

First of all, this is not a startling revelation in the least. Not just all decent foreign intelligence services, but any black hat with any interest in anarchy, intimidation, or extortion also has everything on that server as well. So do our own intelligence and counter-intelligence people.

I would say that the Clinton Global Crime Family has shown not so much a callous indifference to US National Security as a CLUELESS one. They simply don't get computer technology, and their "people" don't get computer technology, and haven't the slightest idea how thoroughly outclassed their private security "experts" are.

Any intelligence service that actually has any intelligence knows that this story is of no benefit in the general election until after Labor Day, 2016. Anyone whose mind can possibly be changed is paying no attention to this stuff until then. And partisans, news-junkies, and ideologues like us who pay attention all the time are not going to have our votes changed by this -- on the right or the left.

That's a sad commentary, but that's a fact.

The calculation anyone -- including Mossad -- who wants to ruin Hillary is doing right now is deciding whether they want to ruin her for the primaries or the general, and what way will have the greatest impact. Based on what we've seen so far, her primary voters do NOT care if she's a crooked scumbag. So, don't look for anyone to spring this anytime very soon.

Well if almost any American gets elected, Israel won’t have to play games like that to get proper support. I said almost because Hillary is cheek to Cumberland with a known Muslim brotherhood rep and she even hugged Arafat - another Muslim brotherhood terrorist. So with Hillary we just don’t know. It appears that she’s going down now anyway so maybe she’s one big worry USA may escape. What if Iran or China has the goods on Hillary Though? There’s a big worry for sure!

I’m not. It would make sense for the e-mails to surface after she is nominated. The problem with Hillary is that she is so over confident that she creates one problem after another. As time pushes on she becomes the candidate on diminishing returns.

If Israel has those e-mails it will be best to use them before the election but after she is nominated.

Once again, a Clinton puts their own personal ambition above the security of the country (like when Bill got China cash in exchange for our missile technology). Gads, what detestable people they are!!

Based on the comments I’ve seen on many liberal websites this is completely true. Its true for all the Democrat scum politicians as well. Their supporters don’t give a damn how crooked, reckless, irresponsible, or damaging they are to our nation as long as they are hurting or harming everyone else,toeing the party line, and supporting the dark agendas. I suspect they are having black mass rituals complete with pentacles, coven robes, and Qurans laid on altars in the basement of the WH at this point

Yes, Scott Walker did the Israel trip. He kept it very low key.

What I do NOT understand about the Hillary thing is why did the WH let her do this.

I can imagine telling my boss, gee, I want my own private email address and I’ll be keeping those emails on my own server.

That wouldn’t fly and believe me my job is about as far from Secretary of State as you can get.

These Obama people really are a bunch of boobs, I hope America can finally wake up and put the Rs back in charge.

At least they are somewhat serious minded. With the Obama admin. it’s like having the cast of Glee running the country.

And I love Glee.

Yes. That's why there are October surprises.

This became the reality once the Democrat Party became a McGovernite Party. That's over 40 years ago. During Roosevelt's administration and later, there were a core of committed leftists who behaved this way -- because leftists have always behaved this way. But there were still some agendas from which most Democrats would still recoil in horror [if not in fact, at least in public.]

Once the far left took over their party, there is really nothing so depraved that they won't support it, pretty much en masse. Any sensible Democrats swallowed their pride and became Republicans or Independents long ago. What has remained behind are the literal dregs of political humanity.

I am sure Israel knows (knew) a tremendous amount about Obama, but held it back.

I was a Democrat until 2008. No more. I couldn’t stomach what was happening to that party. I still can’t believe what the evil of society did to it. They basically took possession of it. Demonic possession.

As you say, the Dem leadership was overrun by the hard-core left. Over the years, they have tried to limit the truth of who they are and what they want. They are becoming bolder and bolder.

In the meantime, the Republicans have been flooded with moderate and conservative democrats. Both parties have slid to the left.

Morell is a paid liar, and he does it well.

From my review of Atkisson’s “Stonewalled”
“Stonewalled in Obama’s Garden of Beasts”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3230430/posts

4. OUR HOPELESSLY CORRUPT INTELLIGENCE SERVICES

A glaring example of the log-rolling and back-scratching occurring between the Obama Administration, the media and the “three-letter” intelligence agencies may be found in the strange case of Mike Morell, who was the deputy director of the CIA under General Petraeus during and after the 9-11 Benghazi attacks. You will remember the constant evolution of the so-called “Benghazi talking points,” which were the administration’s attempt to manipulate the media into accepting a false narrative rejecting the terrorist origin of the attacks, and the prior warnings about the Benghazi diplomatic facility’s dangerously weak security.

Evidently, General Petraeus did not agree to scrub the Al Qaeda references from the CIA’s original report, the basis for the Benghazi talking points. His CIA deputy, Mike Morell was much more willing to do the administration’s bidding, and Morell was quite strangely given authority to edit the talking points that had supposedly been approved by the director of the CIA.

Enter the infamous Paula Broadwell infidelity scandal. Atkisson: “Fast-forward a week to November 6, the day of the election. Someone at the Justice Department, we’re told, has finally decided to tell Director of National Intelligence Clapper about Petraeus. (How good of a chief intelligence officer are you if you don’t know the head of the CIA had been under investigation by your FBI for months? And Republicans on the Hill know before you do?) Clapper calls Petraeus the same day and urges him to resign. It’s a stark reversal of the FBI’s pre-Benghazi determination that there was no harm in Petraeus staying on the job.”

Then, we are supposed to believe that Obama didn’t learn about the Petraeus scandal until November 7th when he read about it in the news media. The president “reluctantly” accepted the resignation of his CIA Director.

Deputy CIA director Mike Morell was called once again to a congressional hearing on the changing talking points memo eighteen months after 9-11, and his once fuzzy memory about the talking points were suddenly clear. Atkisson puts it this way: “Though he hadn’t offered up the information early on, he now tells Congress that he was the primary editing force behind the talking points. And that there were no political motivations behind removal of references to terrorism and prior warnings given to the State Department. That’s just the stuff of conspiracy theorists and right-wing crazies.”

Morell changes his testimony, and falls on his sword for the administration, but he is forgiven. Benghazi is a tired old story, water under the bridge. CBS and the rest of American Pravda gives a collective ho-hum to Morell’s admission that he had originally lied to Congress under oath. It’s time to move on. For American Pravda, it’s much more important to report the latest celebrity scandal, or outbreak of stormy weather, or product recall, than to report about the bald-faced duplicity of the CIA’s deputy director, acting behind his own director’s back.

Only one thing is consistent about Mike Morel: his ability to change stories while retaining the appearance of total sincerity. From Congressional hearing to hearing, the basic facts of his story changed in blatantly contradictory ways. First he solemnly swore that he had no idea who changed the Benghazi talking points. A year and a half later it changed to sure, I edited the talking points. So what?

Morell is more than just an Obama administration team player, he is literally willing to take one for the team. But not-to-worry about his future. Morell’s loyalty and flexibility in matters of truthful testimony was handsomely rewarded. He soon accepted a plum job at a Washington public relations firm that Atkisson says is “dominated by Hillary Clinton loyalists: Beacon Global Strategies.” A firm that essentially serves as an open funnel for Hillary Clinton slush funds disguised as payments for P.R. services rendered.

But wait, there’s more! From Atkisson’s book:

5. CBS HIRES BENGHAZI FIGURE

“In January 2014, Morell, the ex-CIA deputy director was hired as a consultant for CBS news. At the same time, the government was still very much embroiled in controversy over its monitoring of citizens and journalists, targeting of whistleblowers, and the handling of Benghazi. The hire drew immediate commentary from some of my sources.”

“CBS is employing one of the most controversial figures of the Benghazi controversy. Are you comfortable with that?” one asked.

“Once in the CIA, always in the CIA,” said another. “And now he’s in your newsroom.”

Atkisson took her concerns to the CBS ethics department. At the very least, Morell’s connections must be disclosed when he appeared as an expert consultant on CBS News. Her concerns were dismissed, and “former” spook Mike Morell began to appear on CBS news reports with no disclosures that he worked for the pro-Hillary public relations firm, or mention of his consistently inconsistent congressional testimony over the infamously malleable CIA talking points.

But the hiring of Mike Morrell at the CBS affiliate of American Pravda should not come as a shock. Not when CBS president David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, the deputy white house national security assistant. It was Ben Rhodes who collaborated with Mike Morell (and, one must believe, Obama’s long-time “Rasputin,” Valerie Jarrett) on editing the security lapses and terrorism links out of the Benghazi talking points.

Irregardless of party affiliation, if you’re a FR’per we both know what values we would like or our parties to uphold so we can have a sane and stable nation once again.
