The CIA's communications suffered a catastrophic compromise. It started in Iran.

In 2013, hundreds of CIA officers — many working nonstop for weeks — scrambled to contain a disaster of global proportions: a compromise of the agency’s internet-based covert communications system used to interact with its informants in dark corners around the world. Teams of CIA experts worked feverishly to take down and reconfigure the websites secretly used for these communications; others managed operations to quickly spirit assets to safety and oversaw other forms of triage.

“When this was going on, it was all that mattered,” said one former intelligence community official. The situation was “catastrophic,” said another former senior intelligence official.

She resigned in 2008 and started to make trips to Iran in 2009, eventually defecting in 2013. IIRC

I’m of the opinion that the intel outing the CIA agents in China was sold to China by Hilary through the Clinton Foundation.

Any compromises from the mideast AO come from Brennan the Muslim giving intel to his masters.

You’d think a “Deep State” would be against REAL, not imagined, TRAITORS

Time to create a new and better method of holding officers accountable.

Breaking rules is already a downhill reaction in human nature. When secrecy is added to the mix, rule-breaking becomes active degeneracy.

The state secrets protection act, the state secrets privilege and whatever other means they use to do their dirty deeds need to be thrown away.

“From around 2009 to 2013, the U.S. intelligence community experienced crippling intelligence failures”

It probably didn’t help with Hillary giving E-Mail access to every country in the world that wanted it.

Note to foreign sources of intelligence: NEVER, EVER, expect to be safe if a Democrat is about to take office. Run away, as fast as you can, ideally defect to the US, but BEFORE the transition is completed. You are dead otherwise.

In 2013, who was our POTUS, and who was the Director of the CIA?

It was the time the United States had a traitorous president(Obama) and a traitorous administration.

The Muslim spy was just one of the many traitors. She was involved but she was just a small part of the network.

It is interesting how the Obama administration gave her a high level clearance, never tried to stop her from providing classified secrets to the Iranian government and never arrested or prosecuted.

Here’s a nugget from an article on the double agent for China and the rollup of the US spy network in China: ....CI failed to compartmentalize because of coding in this:

When they [the CIA] brought the software in from Middle East operations, they thought it was secure but didn’t factor in that the environment there was “considerably less hazardous.”

Since she made trips into Iraq as well I wonder how much damage she did there.

I doubt China had to “hack” into Hillary!’s server. That thing was leaking like a sieve.
