Hillary Clinton Email Chain Discussed Afghan Agent's Ties to the CIA

An actual spy in a foreign government is one of the CIA's greatest assets, and of course his life would be in grave danger were his allegiance to the CIA to be disclosed.

In other words, it's a great topic for chitty-chat on Hillary Clinton's illegal secret non-secure server.

The one thing that Hillary can hold on to here is that they were discussing his outing in the New York Times.

One of the classified email chains discovered on Hillary Clinton's personal unsecured server discussed an Afghan national's ties to the CIA and a report that he was on the agency's payroll, a U.S. government official with knowledge of the document told Fox News....

The U.S. government official said the Clinton email exchange, which referred to a New York Times report, was among 29 classified emails recently provided to congressional committees with specific clearances to review them. In that batch were 22 "top secret" exchanges deemed too damaging to national security to release....

Based on the timing and other details, the email chain likely refers to either an October 2009 Times story that identified Afghan national Ahmed Wali Karzai, the half-brother of then-Afghan president Hamid Karzai, as a person who received "regular payments from the Central Intelligence Agency" -- or an August 2010 Times story that identified Karzai aide Mohammed Zia Salehi as being on the CIA payroll. Ahmed Wali Karzai was murdered during a 2011 shoot-out, a killing later claimed by the Taliban.

Now you may wonder -- if this was in the New York Times, what's the big deal?

The big deal is that it's one thing for the Times to claim it. It's another thing for a US official to seemingly confirm it.


National security and intelligence experts emphasized to Fox News that security clearance holders are trained to not confirm or deny details of a classified program in an unclassified setting, which would include a personal unsecured email network, even if the classified program appears in press reports.

Meanwhile, a second email surfaces in which Hillary email instructs an aid to print out an email of confidential information, while removing the heading.

This heading was not about the classification of information (it so far appears), but rather noted who was sending the email -- Sydney Blumenthal. Apparently Hilary was trying to hide her continuing reliance on him.

It's an old news biz trick anyway. You call Cedars hospital and you say "can you tell me what room Bob Hope is in? I hear he had his gall bladder removed, and I want to send him flowers."

The nurse says "sorry, Mr. Hope's room number is confidential. Anyone who has surgery in this hospital is entitled to their privacy."

You just told the reporter EVERYTHING they wanted to know.

Improper storage of each email - Felony.
Reading each classified email on a non-secure system - Felony
Accessing classified email by people with neither the clearance or need to know - Felony.
Use of a private email system by a Federal official - Felony.
Failure to report someone breaking Federal law - Felony.

90 Please. Everyone sit down. I have some shocking news.

Trump has finally gone too far for me. Yes that's right you heard me.

His endorsement of forcing Apple to devise a way to circumvent their OS so as the FBI can retrieve files that they have no way of knowing will be of any use is a bridge too far for me.

We've surrendered too much to government in the name of stopping terrorism while the government ignores a very simple test and solution to terrorism in this country.

And that would be anyone who practices Islam is suspect and all such should be stopped from entering the country.

But that aside, Trump has spoken clearly as to his opinion on this and it's one that I don't want to have in a President.

So, even though I suspect Cruz is also less of a conservative than he presents himself as, I must vote for Cruz. I will not campaign or send money nor argue pro or con but he will have my vote.

The line was finally crossed.

103 What was her reason for using her own private server instead of the government's? She had to know she would be receiving and sending classified information. So what was her motive? Paranoia? Blackmail? Filthy lucre?


And as to her sending emails - wouldn't someone be able to detect that they were not coming from a government server? Wouldn't officials at that level recognize that they were getting emails from CoughCough.com? Why did no one say anything?

Posted by: grammie winger, sign of The Time

why did she do it? to avoid FOIA requests, to hide her relationship with Blumenthal which Obama didnt want, and to cover her tracks. To cover up pay for play type graft being generated between The Clinton Foundation and the State Dept


didnt the other officials knwo it was classified and why didnt they report it?

they knew it was classififed. They didnt care. They are all using private emails too to avoid FOIA requests and investigations

113 There is one of those HOV lanes on Rt 50, running between D.C. and the bridge to the Eastern Shore. That road is choked on summer Friday afternoons with bureaucrats going to their summer houses and sailboats, and the cops write a lot of tickets to drivers who are alone (you're supposed to have at least two people to use the lane).

I heard recently there was talk of converting it to a "pay lane", which I'm guessing is so the summer house crowd isn't ticketed.

----------------------
To hide her business from Congress, from the American people, and even from the POTUS. (Several inside sources say that, when Obama signed her on, it was firmly agreed that Blumenthal NOT be given any post or role at State.)

The fact that anyone of average intelligence would know that it opened up highly secret info to our enemies made no difference to her. Because Iran, Russia, N Korea, etc., are only OUR enemies, not hers.

What mattered was to keep her corrupt dealings and incompetence from HER enemies, mainly us, the American people, anyone not on board the Clinton bus.

Posted by: Anna Puma at February 17, 2016 07:00 PM (flLTe)


I don't know what the author is trying to accomplish, but they're doing it wrong.

I have no deep understanding of Hasidic tradition but I would sooner see a reference to Tzadik than God in a dream. Semi-wild-guess.

Secondly, repetition is powerful... until you get to about 3, then it gets weaker. Five pretty much means someone is hysterical. Eight... ummm...

Thirdly, the sentence is a little clumsy, but as far as ESL goes that's fine. The sentence is simple and uses simple words, lacks contractions, and is also a cliche on at least two fronts.

Basically, dust off and nuke the site from orbit. *Or* suggest maybe a better working and no more than three repetitions, unless it's low comedy, in which case spread them out a bit (like "Death to America" in MadTV's sketch).

That is wrong on several levels.

All labor was very heavily supervised in those large tank factories, which had been moved to the Urals. Peer pressure was immense.

Ukrainian Jews were mostly excluded from munitions work because of fears of unreliability.

Russian Eastern Orthodox worship was less closely run by the NKVD in WWII only. There was no mixture of religion and work. None.

Food was used as the real currency, as the workers had a 6 day week with mandatory overtime.

8 times? A foreman would have removed her. Discipline in the large factories was very strict.

227 Chicago is known for its L-train. But its the gravy train that White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett prefers to ride.

In addition to the $173,922 Jarrett earns per annum as President Obamas senior adviser, she is also paid an annual pension of $35,660 for the eight years she served as chairman of the Chicago Transit Authority

As of last summer, Jarrett has collected $306,080 in pension payments in total.

That hefty sum is 27 times the amount $11,132 that Jarrett contributed to her pension plan through deductions from her CTA paychecks, according to the Sun Times.

Because of lucrative pension arrangements like the one provided to Jarrett, Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, also a former Obama chief of staff, has been forced to raise property taxes to the highest levels in the citys history to help fix a massive budget shortfall.

First of all, good for you!

Secondly, you, if you are sane, pay an editor because you know you need changes, not because you think everything is right.

Repetition can be done well, but not eight times in a paragraph. Just suggest an alternative.

If it happens a lot, you may have a lot of work to do. A little more repetition that normal is fine, because each author has their own voice. Just ridiculous amounts mean the author's voice is unsteady and needs work.

*shrug* Do the best you can, and hope you get a mention as an editor when it's a best-seller.

Good, plenty of room to pare back. Encourage him that he's got great structure and ideas, and push the concept of being a good basis that he can pare down to a lean and tight story. Its easier in my experience to cut away than add.

287 Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a woman of wealth and station
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's donation

And I was 'round when Lewinsky
Had her moment of public shame
Made damn sure that my husband
Got off scott-free and secured fate

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Bowed to Putin and his ministers
The reset button was in vain

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a woman of wealth and spite
And I laid traps for Ambassadors
Who get killed when they reached Benghazi

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Hillary
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

299 A very large portion of military factories in the Soviet Union during the war were whole sale taken apart and moved out of the reach of the Nazi's, but not all. Many were taken over and destroyed remember most of the territory west of Moscow was occupied. Manpower was in high demand the Soviets lost millions in the opening part of the war, civilians were used to build fortifications in many places to stop the Nazi's invasion. I'm sure just as Americans had Rosy the riveter the Soviets must have used women in factories.

http://www.mrctv.org/blog/

Of course he's a lazy s*it. "The funerals of sitting Supreme Court Justices were far more common before the 1950s, but it is unclear if sitting presidents attended the funeral services of those sitting justices or if not as few records of attendance exist."

Here's a clue you excuse for a "journalist"...there's something called the internet and you could find out by searching for a few minutes. Guess that would be too much like research and work! *spit*

Today 509 is bandwidth exceeded.

509 is the A-bomb B-29 Group.

It could be a day in the siege. The total siege was 872 days.
