Clinton campaign accuses Obama appointee of trying to smear Hillary
McClatchy ^ | January 20, 2016 | Anita Kumar

Posted on 01/20/2016 4:17:03 PM PST by keat

Hillary Clinton’s spokesman accused the Intelligence Community Inspector General Wednesday of working with Republicans to attack the Democratic presidential front-runner.

“I think this was a very coordinated leak,” Brian Fallon said on CNN. “Two months ago there was a...report that directly challenged the finding of this inspector general, and I don’t think he liked that very much. So I think that he put two Republican senators up to sending him a letter so that he would have an excuse to resurface the same allegations he made back in the summer that have been discredited.”

The comments came after Inspector General Charles McCullough III told senators that he believes at least several dozen of emails Clinton sent and received while she was secretary of state contained classified material at the highest levels, according to a letter obtained by McClatchy.

McCullough was nominated by President President Barack Obama in August 2011 to be the first inspector general for the 16 intelligence agencies and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee that October. The full Senate agreed by unanimous consent in November.

Diversion and deception. One of the Clinton’s well-worn tools.

“Smearing” a Clinton = releasing facts about them.

To my thinking, it’s just as likely that democrats released the information as Republicans.

The far left looneys of the RAT base prefer the commie to the criminal, so not doubtful.

This article presents a perfect example of liberal/leftist bias. First of all, McClatchy has been on the Democrat Left for decades so anti-conservative/Republican bias is expected.

However, the example below is an illustration of how the writer changes the words of the subject of the article, Inspector General McCullough III.

The writer, Anita Kumar, wrote that
“The comments came after Inspector General Charles McCullough III told senators that he believes at least several dozen emails Clinton sent and received while she was secretary of state (a title should be with Capitals) contained classified material at the highest levels, according to a letter obtained by McClatchy.”

Notice the “he believes” distortion. In the 3rd from last paragraph of this article, Kumar wrote:

” In a Jan. 14 letter sent to the chairman of the Senate Intelligence and Foreign Relations committees, McCullough said some of the information in Clinton’s emails was classified as “top secret/SAP” or “special access program.” That is a more restricted category than previously thought. The letter was first reported by FOX News.

There is a helluva difference between “he believes” in paragraph three at the start of the story, and “McCullough said”.

This is how a biased or incompetent writer tries to downgrade the significance of what someone said about an issue.

Given that she writes for McClatchy, I’ll take “Both” for $1,000, Alex.

And then she quotes Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon on whether there was a coordinated leak by Republican senators to get McCullough to say that the materials were classified.

Any spokesman or woman for Hillary or Obama are automatically lying, demented propagandists and smear-artists. Just look at the past statements of Jay Carney and Josh Ernest for absolute proof. Then ask yourself, has Hillary ever told the truth? If she hasn’t, then her Joseph Goebbels’ mouthpieces haven’t either.

Lesson - Writing bias 101.

Hillary is doing a pretty good job of “smearing Hillary”.

Why would she object to others joining in?

Top Secret SAP/SAR data on her unclassified computer is an intentional and Felonious act. Data doesn’t become judged to fall into that category after the fact.
It is “BORN THAT WAY”!

Hillaryous. Everyone knows that Barry is your lawn jockey, Hillaryous. He rode your Trojan horse, TOTALITARIANCARE to the finish line for you. What an ungrateful owner, accusing poor Barry of being involved in something inappropriate.
