CLINTON THE SPY?

Any person in this country who has ever been in the military knows from the very get-go that there are levels of classification of information and that, depending on your need to know in order to accomplish your mission, you may be given a security clearance commensurate with the information you will need to encounter in the course of doing that job.  After a thorough background check to determine your suitability to have such a security clearance level, you are given a thorough lesson in what you can and cannot see and how you must take various steps to ensure the secrecy you are going to be dealing with.  

You learn, for example, that you cannot disclose such information to your friend, spouse, parent, brother, sister or anyone else, and that you must be prepared to die in order to protect that secrecy.  Hundreds, if not thousands, of members of the military have been subjected to various degrees of torture over centuries of service to their country by enemies seeking to obtain our secrets.  I got out of the service over 50 years ago and there are still things that I saw that I cannot disclose.  

Civilians in service to the government who have a need to know go through the same investigation and sign the same non-disclosure agreements... as did Hillary Rodham Clinton.  The requirements you agree to go to the very heart of every communication you see, every document you read and every piece of equipment or secure site that you encounter: you are constantly... constantly... aware of your duty to conceal our nation's secrets.  

For Clinton to claim she did not know things were classified, or that "other people did it," is so flagrantly opposed to everything to do with "security" that it makes me very angry.  To learn that information sent over her private, unsecured, non-authorized server was classified is an affront to me and everyone who has ever served their government.  To learn she sent the names of covert intelligence operatives over that server makes me very angry.  To learn that she sent information about the use of drones in Pakistan or troop engagement policy... or even details about the whereabouts and schedule of an Ambassador to Libya... is outrageous.  

She named Rajiv K. Fernando, born in Denmark, to a highly sensitive government intelligence advisory board simply because he donated to the Clinton Foundation; he has absolutely no qualifications for the position and was forced to resign when an ABC news reporter started to investigate.  Just what Top Secret information did he have access to and what did he do with it?  

The Russians hacked that server, the Romanian hacked that server and the Chinese are said to have hacked that server.  Knowing the rules and knowing the potential consequences, she not only created a wide-open venue through which to send classified material, she then proceeded make our most sensitive material readily available for the taking. The plain simple fact of the matter is that no one... no one... with any level of security clearance would ever even think of doing what Clinton has done unless... they were a spy.  

If that is so, and it appears by every conceivable measure to be true, she makes the Rosenbergs look like amateurs.  It's no wonder that the Russians and the Chinese are contributing so heavily to the Clinton Foundation. 


That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
