Hillary Clinton’s Email Scandal

I read a hilarious article posted today on The Washington Post’s website.  The title and reporter: Why the Clinton Email Scandal and Petraeus Leak Are Not Really Alike Reporter Michelle Ye Hee Lee©(washingtonpost.com feb 24 2016)

Okay, as a security clearance holder, with clearances both for US and NATO countries, let me parse this for Miss Lee:

General Petraeus used his position to allow unauthorized access to another clearance holder to information, not from his current position, but from when he was in charge in Iraq and Afghanistan. Arguably, the information was dated, however, the information was, and still is, classified.  As such, the general, who should have held himself to a higher standard, became a victim of his own pride, and thus, gave unauthorized access.  This resulted in his being convicted, and he voluntarily turned himself in.

Hillary Clinton set up her own personal email server, and had her staff send all of her emails to this server, maintained by people who had no credentials or clearances authorized by the State Department.  More so, Hillary transmitted and received information, including up to TS, special access programs, on this server, including confidential communications between other Foreign Ministers as well as high ranking officials in other countries.  Miss Lee says that the information was retroactively classified.  This is where Miss Lee is wrong.  There is an email from Hillary DIRECTING her staff to remove classifications from the emails and forwarding or sending them to her email address.  This is the smoking gun for the bullet that shows Hillary and her subordinates willfully participated in a program to willing deceive the government and people of the United States.  With this one email, the entire program of deception becomes apparent, as this shows a desire, and a willingness, to avoid having information that Hillary has, stored in a government repository available to anyone with an FOIA request.  This also prevented the government from having archived information from Hillary’s stint as Secretary Of State.

Hillary Clinton signed non-disclosure agreements, and signed that she would protect classified information in her custody.  She then set up her own personal email server to circumvent the laws and regulations she was supposed to support and defend.

Miss Lee, before you attempt to protect someone who is clearly guilty of the same crimes as Snowden, I would suggest you delve deeper into what is and isn’t a crime.  Both David Petraeus and Hillary Clinton are accused of not protecting classified information.  The only difference is the level of information both allowed to be compromised.  One compromised information about his career.  The other compromised information that could cause grave and serious continuing damage to the United States of America, her people, her allies, and her military forces.  In a wartime situation, which we are under, the general penalty for such is the death penalty.

Hillary Clinton: Bigger Espionage Problem Than Edward Snowden

Hillary Clinton should be in jail.  At the least, the Department Of Justice, without waiting for the FBI probe to complete, should have empaneled a grand jury and indicted her for espionage.

As the former Secretary Of State, Hillary had access to information up to and including not just TS/SCI, but the holiest of holies, sources and methods.  Hillary had to have signed numerous Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) that detailed, in exacting minutiae, her responsibilities as an Originating Authority, for information that she was privy to.  Hillary also would have had the State Department setting up, or attempting to set up, an email account for secure transfer of information.

With all of this, there isn’t any reason, idea, etc., that Hillary should have set up her own, personal, private server in her home, managed not by cleared State Department IT/IS personnel, but a private company that had no known security clearances to even look at the server, let alone manage it.

Let’s look at the facts: Hillary and her aides attempted to circumvent FOIA requests by maintaining a private server on a private domain, separate from the government’s oversight.  This is the first offense, punishable under the FOIA, as well as the government’s own laws and regulations covering government systems and government correspondence.  The next offense, ostensibly the worse, is the transmission of classified information from the State Department’s CLASSNET onto an unclassified private domain.  There is an email that specifically shows Hillary ordering personnel to strip classification markings from email and send the information to her private email.  This shows a coordinated, dedicated, activity to deny the government’s oversight authorities information on the transfer of information.  Ladies and gentlemen: THIS IS ESPIONAGE, THERE IS NO OTHER NAME FOR IT!!!  By doing this, Hillary Clinton has wantonly caused information, from For Official Use Only (FOUO) to Special Access Programs (SAPs) to be made available to our enemies, both foreign and domestic.  This is in clear violation of her oath as the Secretary Of State, as well as a direct crime against the people of the United States, and the Constitution.

Hillary Clinton attempts to muddy the water in regards to the information in her emails.  She continually states that she neither received nor sent classified information in her time as Secretary Of State.  This is an outright lie, and I call her out on it.  As Secretary Of State, responsible for promulgating policy and directing the efforts of diplomats worldwide, Hillary cannot do anything BUT send and receive classified information, including information on Sources and Methods, the most delicate, and the most damaging, information there is.  To say otherwise, is to blatantly lie to the American people, as well as to all of our foreign allies worldwide.

Hillary had no problems sacking a senior diplomat for sending emails on his personal account.  The individual didn’t even have the luxury of a personal server.  The Department Of Justice wasted no time and effort to slam GEN David Petraeus for having a confidential document at home, and allowing a CLEARED individual access.  True, the person had clearance, just not need to know, but the result was that the general was indicted and convicted.  And the general did not have a high, cabinet-level, position, either.

There is only one option for the Department Of Justice: Indict and convict Hillary Clinton of Espionage.  Edward Snowden has been indicted for treason for the release of thousands of emails.  We can do no less for someone who held one of the highest offices in the land, and used it to abuse their privileges for their own personal gain.  Thousands of emails containing classified information that, unlike Snowden’s emails, put current personnel who are supposed to be covered by our government, at risk, were found to have resided in her personal server.  People may have wound up being disappeared for their support of us clandestinely, and their kidnappings, and possible deaths, can be laid directly at the feet of Hillary Clinton.

Bernie Saunders, by his neglect in calling Hillary to account, is just as negligible.  The democrat party is also negligent.  To not denounce Hillary in the strongest terms, to not back a grand jury indictment, shows that the democrat is only interested in one thing: Power, for power’s sake.

The Republican party candidates are very negligent, as they should be shouting about this at the top of their lungs, showing the world, and their constituents just what a piece of work Hillary is.  The Republican candidates know what the damage Hillary has done.  Instead, the nominees resort to smear tactics against each other.  The Republican candidates have turned the entire nomination process into a sideshow circus, and no one really takes them serious.  Only Carly Fiorina has consistently taken Hillary to task, but the media, including Fox News, give Carly a small percentage of their time.  Donald Trump, the erstwhile frontrunner, refuses to take on Hillary at this time, and the same for Cruz, Christie, Bush, and Rubio.

Hillary Clinton has violated many government statues, regulations, and laws concerning the management and safekeeping of classified and sensitive information.  We’ve sent many a person to federal prison, hell, we’ve hung a few for treason, for less than what Hillary has done.  Look at the Falcon and the Snowman, for example.  This will be buried, as usual, by the mainstream media.  But I will not stop the drumbeat for Hillary.  If Edward Snowden can be indicted for his crimes against America, WHY NOT HILLARY?
