Hillary Clinton, The “Insider Threat”

You don’t have to take my word for it that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s sloppy email practices were an egregious breech of national security. An expert in the Department of Defense thought so as well.

This week we released a U.S. Department of the Army OpSec (Operational Security) PowerPoint presentation that depicts Clinton as an example of “ insider threats .” The presentation, produced as part of a lecture on cybersecurity, also includes General David Petraeus, terrorist Nidal Hassan, Bradley (Chelsea) Manning, Edward Snowden, and Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis.

We obtained the documents in response to a January 11, 2017, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking the PowerPoint presentation on operational security delivered to soldiers at Fort Leonard Wood ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Defense (No. 1:17-cv-00060)). We sued after the Department of Defense failed to respond to our August 22, 2016, FOIA request (the lawsuit is now over, since we got what we wanted).

The presentation warns against “ Critical Information Compromises ” involving material such as the “itineraries of … senior executive service (SES)” and “very important persons (VIPs),” any of which can result in “Attack, Kidnapping, Publicity.” It also cites “unsecure email” as an error that can lead to an enemy being able to “Kill, Counter, Clone.” Judicial Watch’s investigations into Clinton’s email practices while she was secretary of state repeatedly produced examples of Clinton aide Huma Abedin sharing the schedule and travel plans of Clinton on an unsecure email system.

The operational security brief was reportedly leaked , and then posted on the Facebook page “U.S. Army W.T.F! moments.” Administrators of the Facebook page said a picture came from a service member stationed at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.

Clinton and Petraeus are cited as examples of “Careless or disgruntled employees.” Former Secretary Clinton conducted official government business using a non-state.gov email account, which was hosted on a server in her home in Chappaqua, New York. JW’s extensive FOIA litigation pried loose Clinton email records, which proved she sent and received classified information on an unsecure server while serving as secretary of state.

Gen. Petraeus is a retired four-star general and the former director of the CIA who pled guilty in federal court to a charge of unauthorized removal of classified information. At the time, Petraeus was having an affair with his biographer to whom he provided classified information while serving as Director of the CIA. (I see he is up for potential appointment to President Trump’s National Security Advisor post. For obvious reasons, this would seem to be a big mistake.)

No wonder it took a lawsuit to extract this damning Pentagon analysis, which recognizes Hillary Clinton as an “insider threat” to national security. The Trump Justice Department should take note and proceed with an appropriate investigation.

The Patraeus thing baffles me.

But, further investigation of Hillary’s treason—yes. Last I heard, Preet Bahara was still investigating the Clinton Foundation for a possible RICO action, at Trump’s request.

Is a quick translation for those of us who don’t want to spend half an hour studying it and its implications possible?

[jazusamo]

I hear you and understand but there are five different subjects in this weekly update and my typing skills are really bad. :)

[BobL]

No problem then...I’ll wait on the comments and come back.

Thanks!

[Don Corleone]

Arrest, try, jail and execute the traitors.

[BobL]

Thanks, so good news! Swamp draining in progress!

.....Fitton refers to then-Secy of State Hillary Clinton’s "sloppy email practices" ....

Let's be careful attributing her email practices to "sloppiness." She plans to use that as a very compelling legal defense. "Sloppiness" does not cut it:

<><> State Dept emails were found on the Clinton Foundation servers;

<><> Hillary's State Dept staff calculatedly transferred critical State Dept info to the Clinton Foundation;

<><> Clinton crony, Sid Blumenthal (then an employee of the Clinton Foundation) was found to have verbatim classified info in his possession.....remember Sid was NOT a govt employee.

So many in our government and media need to go to jail over all this corruption and treason. Including very much the media, not that they have 1st Amendment protection, but are co-conspirators in coverups of government crimes and treason. Throw RICO at them too.

This may be so big they will need to set up tribunals to bring many to justice. To restore order in our government, this needs to happen with the appropriate punishments.

I think Petraus is owned, perhaps for worse behaviors than the affair/classified security breach. He has turned so deep state, or, may be he always was, but something is strange among these military candidates from which Trump has to pick.
They can’t wait to be seriously considered, so they can spit in his eye after they reject him.

Not a gracious one among the lot. They are not content to reject the position quietly, they have to smear him as well.

[RitaOK]

Brilliant and an expeditious solution. Beats pecking along the ground picking up scalps here and there and burning daylight.

Too bad Republicans and their leadership won’t step up en masse and run interference for Trump. They need to fire up a tribunal. Everyone knows we have sedition, if not treason, on our hands. A “soft coup” against our pro-American president is already in progress. Everyone knows that, too.

[Conservative Gato]

Let’s hope Trump or some of his people in the Justice Department are reading here and understand we have their backs on this.

I don’t know if I would be as hard on these men as you are being. They all put in 30+ years in the military working 60+ hours a week. Most of them have jobs that require half the effort, 1/10th of the heartburn, and pay many times what they would make in the administration. Some of them are enjoying “consulting” and having no second career. A few of them are enjoying grandchildren and vacation travel with their spouses who faithfully followed them with a moving van and a suitcase for decades.

They do not owe us anything so perhaps it is polite when a trial balloon is floated to simply say “no thanks” and move on. Just a simple point to consider. The rat race of D.C. is not that attractive to many of them and trust me - these guys put a lifetime of effort into three decades and the majority that I knew and know work harder than their subordinates.

[polymuser]

If less than three people go to prison related to Clinton’s emails, plus three related to Clinton Foundation, plus three related to Benghazi, something is terribly wrong.

[jazusamo]

Bump!

[RitaOK]

With all due respect, and you are correct these men are hard won, decorated military, through and through, and experienced in intel, but, the fact is you missed my point.

These guys, Petraus and Harwell, could have, should have, and in the old days *would* have, just said “Thanks, for the honor, Mr. President, but no thanks”, and walked away.

In the old days, after declining an offer, their personal friggin’ opinion to slap down a president would never have shortly followed, and been made available to the media and the world. Ever.

Something strange has been built under Obama. Obama has turned a lot of people willing to serve under the traitor.

[volunbeer]

Point taken, but I also don’t trust the media regarding the tone these men might have taken in declining a position. They could say “I am flattered Mr. President, but I respectfully decline” and CNN would say “Gen. Harwell slaps down the President.”
