Admiral: Russia Blackmailed Bill Clinton Over Lewinsky (Adm Ace Lyons)

At the Iowa National Security Action Summit on Saturday, co-hosted by the Center for Security Policy and the Family Leader Foundation, Admiral James “Ace” Lyons (U.S. Navy, Ret.) -- a four-star admiral and former Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Senior U.S. Military Representative to the United Nations, and Deputy Chief of Naval Operations -- was speaking in the context of Hillary Clinton’s infamous e-mails when he made the following statement about Russia potentially blackmailing Bill Clinton over his affair with Monica Lewinsky:

One more thing I want to cover. Hillary's e-mails. Hillary, the pathological liar. Now, you gotta understand, you heard all about cyber warfare and so forth. Every one of our enemies, Russia, China, Cuba, Iran, everybody. They've hacked in to that unsecured server. She's totally compromised. She's damaged goods. There's no way she can be allowed to get in that White House.

I'll tell you one other thing. You know the Russians are the best in the world at this. They tapped in to Bill Clinton's phone lines and they knew about Monica long before you did. Now let me tell you the way they used it. Russia was in desperate financial shape. They needed 26 billion dollars out of the IMF. Larry Summers of our National Archives fame was our Treasury Secretary, dead set against it, everybody was set against it, until suddenly -- through Strobe Talbott -- who the Russians let Strobe know that they knew about Monica, Bill Clinton found it within himself to approve the transfer, and what got transferred was 4.6 billion dollars in hard cash that disappeared.

They or the ChiComs wouldn’t have to blackmail him. Like Obama, he’ll give them everything they want regardless.

[ExCTCitizen]

Boy, Ace better avoid Fort Marcy Park or the Clintons might do a Vince Foster on him.

[Bryan24]

Larry Summers of National Archive fame?

Doesn’t he mean Sandy Burger? I hope he has some evidence to back this up. This is a serious charge.

[abclily]

Maybe that’s what Bill meant when he said he has to pay their bills. They may now be paying blackmail for Hillary to cover her ‘personal relationships’.

[PghBaldy]

I doubt he has evidence.

[nathanbedford]

You have asked whether Admiral Lyons has evidence to back up his allegations, and properly so. Hillary's apologists will certainly point out that the Admiral offers no evidence in support of his very serious charges.

But let us look at the other side of this coin. Hillary conducted her business on an insecure server leaving the country vulnerable to espionage for no reason that she could express other than a desire not to have to carry two cell phones. She has exposed the United States to extreme danger and she, not the people, should bear the consequences.

She could have avoided the consequences if she had not destroyed the e-mails but turned the server over but she would not. Rather, Bitch Clinton covered up her actions, and now she should bear the risk-not the innocent people of the United States. And she should continue to bear those risks until she can prove that her taking the Oval Office will not leave herself open to blackmail when she made the country vulnerable to espionage.

She has created the risk, no more proof is needed.

Holy Cow!

Admiral Lyons is 87. Retired amidst controversy more than 25 years ago. Just sayin’.

[McGruff]

I wouldn't be shocked to hear this, question is what dirt do they have on Obama. He's got alot more skeletons in his closet.

[nuconvert]

hmmm... He’s 87. He’s said some pretty outrageous things before. He seems to mix facts with his own opinions, so it’s hard to discern whether it’s all factual or not.

[beaversmom]

Great post!

[freedomfiter2]

But I was told that a politician’s personal life didn’t matter.

[SMARTY]

It seems like there is NO ‘serious charge’ where American politicians are concerned...especially the Clinton creeps.

They do whatever they want and the MSM either white washes it or ignores it. The same MSM that is SUPPOSED to serve as watchdog for American taxpayers... THAT’S a laugh!

Tax cheats, serial womanizers, thieves, traitors, liars, etc.

It’s all OK now.

[SERKIT]

"What difference, at this point, does it make?"

As far as the not-so-private email server, has Trey Gowdy reached out to the intel community to see how compromised we are today? Would a "friendly" foreign intel group disclose what they know? Maybe not...

[Kenny Bunk]

She has created the risk, no more proof is needed.

[USS Alaska]

I doubt he has evidence.

Prolly not but it is the series of the charge, huge, err hugh err, use the same low standards that the left uses.

It is said we will get rid of the Moslem Brotherhood people in the government when we get a Conservative in there in 2016. Well, even Reagan was unable to get rid of all of the Communists that had infiltrated the government since the early thirties. It will be easier to locate the Moslems but even the rightest of the right president will feel constrained to sort out friendly Moslems from unfriendly Moslems. In real life there are no such distinctions. At least with the communists, once it was determined to root them out or more accurately, ease them out it was acceptably known that a communist is a communist.

Instead of cleansing the agencies, only the CIA and military need be cleansed. The rest of the agencies need to be simply and cleanly terminated.

If we know anything post Clinton and Obama, it is that character IS important.....oh well, it’s too late now...

Billy Boy and his tuna are SO toxic ...we’re going to need EPA permits to bury them!
