Here's the latest military fiasco on his watch, as reported by the Financial Times
Millions of US military emails were misrouted to Mali by a “typographical leak” that exposed highly sensitive information, including diplomatic documents, tax returns, passwords and travel details of senior officers.
Despite repeated warnings over a decade, the steady stream of email traffic to the .ML domain, the country identifier for Mali, continues to be the result of people mistyping .MIL, the suffix for all US military email addresses.

NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW
Look at the DNS data. Pretty low chance of your theory being correct.
Bkmk.
An easy fix but the military is not capable of fixing this.
