What DC REALLY thinks of the Clintons

colin-powell-hillary-clinton

Those are not kind thoughts going through Powell’s head about now. Note his obviously closed body language, leaning away from Hillary Clinton.

If you’re not familiar with the German term schadenfreude, you should be. Look it up. I’ll wait. With that in mind, please read the following breaking story, from TheIntercept.com:

Colin Powell Urged Hillary Clinton’s Team Not to Scapegoat Him for Her Private Server, Leaked Emails Reveal

by Lee Fang and Naomi LaChance

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell attempted to discourage Hillary Clinton and her team from using him as a scapegoat for her private email server problems, according to newly leaked emails from Powell’s Gmail account.

“Sad thing,” Powell wrote to one confidant, “HRC could have killed this two years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tie me to it.”

“I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hampton’s [sic] party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these ‘character’ minefields,” Powell lamented. He noted that he had tried to settle the matter by meeting with Clinton aide Cheryl Mills in August.

If you recall, Hillary Clinton and her camp did indeed “try to blame it on the black man” as I detailed here. It was Colin Powell who told her it was fine to have her private server. According to Hillary and her minions.

Powell’s private messages were leaked by DCLeaks.com, an anonymously managed website that shares hacked emails from U.S. military and political figures. DCLeaks has a relationship with Guccifer 2.0, a hacker that many allege to have ties with Russian intelligence. DCLeaks provided access to Powell’s emails to a number of reporters on Tuesday.

The emails show Powell regularly corresponding with reporters and friends about the Clinton email server scandal, explaining that his situation was different. When Powell arrived at the State Department, the information technology system was badly dated, he argued. And unlike Clinton, Powell never set up a private server. Instead, he used his personal AOL account, on a server maintained by AOL, and used a government computer for classified communications.

By now, I hope you’re seeing the difference between the two persons. One cheats, the other doesn’t. I should tell you up front that, unlike Hillary, Powell’s retinue did not disclaim the emails but, instead, owned up. Those were Colin Powell’s, they said. And Powell did not have a private server as Hillary initially alleged.

Now here’s where things get good.

“They are going to dick up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin record rules. I saw email more like a telephone than a cable machine,” Powell wrote last year to his business partner Jeffrey Leeds. “As long as the stuff is unclassified. I had a secure State.gov machine. Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.”

Friends, I love that line: “Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.” Hubris indeed — with gobs of conceit, arrogance, narcissism and pomposity mixed in for good measure.

Powell spared no truth when he also observed:

“I told you about the gig I lost at a University because she so overcharged them they came under heat and couldn’t any [sic] fees for awhile. I should send her a bill.”

What? A Clinton overcharge for a speech? Powell surely must be prevaricating.

What’s perhaps even more interesting is the spin the American Media Maggots are putting on the Powell’s hacked emails.

  • NBC News headline: “Colin Powell calls Trump a national disgrace.”
  • USA Today: “Colin Powell calls Trump national disgrace in hacked emails.”
  • NY Times: “Colin Powell, in hacked email, calls Trump national disgrace.”

But I find this hacked email particularly illuminating:

I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect. A 70-year-old person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home.

I also love this as well:

The July 26, 2014, email came just days after The Post, which Powell appears to cite, reported: “Bill Clinton reportedly has a buxom blond mistress who visits so often when Hillary Clinton isn’t home in Chappaqua that the former president’s Secret Service detail have given her an unofficial code name: Energizer.”

This is also interesting:

Peter, I am back from the Bohemian Grove. Surprise, surprise, I sat next to Stephen Harper a couple of times and had a nice discussion.  Grove attendees know that Trump is a disaster. Most will vote against, but quite a few will not vote for Hillary and will vote for a third party candidate. Strange doings down here. Otherwise all is well with the Powells. We’ll sneak away for a few days in August. Of course I’d love to see you. Let me know your dates.  I told Stephen that you seemed quite content in your new place in life.

All the best, Colin

It’s no shock that Powell dislikes Trump; that’s to be expected. But many will not vote for Hillary? That, indeed, is good news.

Hillary Clinton’s recent incidents, particularly her own forced focus on health, are already creating negative waves on the Demorat side. One Clinton ally said she is a “self-inflicted fucking nightmare.”  Even David Axelrod, long-time hod carrier for the Dems, said on Twitter: “Antibiotics can take care of pneumonia. What’s the cure for an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems?”

Don’t forget, Hillary wants it both ways: If she blamed her email memory issue on a neurological condition — “I can’t recall” 39 times to the FBI — then doesn’t that make the health of Hillary Clinton quite a legitimate issue, having opened the door herself?

Ah yes. Wonderful to see the Clintons are loved, admired and respected in DC.

Hillary outed the NSA

Hillary Clinton LawsFrom the Observer.com:

EmailGate and the Mystery of the Missing GAMMA

by John R. Schindler

Hillary Clinton’s ‘unclassified’ email included highly classified NSA information—why didn’t the FBI mention this fact?

Why?  In my opinion FBI Director James Comey surrendered his veracity, his honesty and his oath when he recommended no indictment against Hillary Rodham Clinton.  Truthfully, I can only hope that Comey sleeps but only a few hours every night, if even those.  Go here for my opinion on Comey’s resultant Hillary protectivism.

Last week’s Federal Bureau of Investigation release of materials relating to their investigation of Hillary Clinton has reignited the political firestorm surrounding EmailGate. How the Democratic nominee mishandled her emails while she was secretary of state is again front-page news, which is bad news for Hillary. Particularly because the FBI’s data dump demonstrates clearly that Clinton is either dumb or dishonest—and perhaps both.

I say: both.

Hillary’s professed inability to even recognize classified information, thinking the “C” (for Confidential) meant alphabetical order, will now enter the pantheon of laughable Clinton infamy, alongside her husband’s debating the meaning of “is” while under oath.

Right along with wiping her server, “like with a cloth or something.”

The FBI examined 81 Clinton email chains, determining that they included classified information relating to the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon, NSA, and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency or NGA. In other words, Hillary compromised classified materials representing the full range of American espionage: human intelligence or HUMINT from CIA, signals intelligence or SIGINT from NSA, and imagery intelligence or IMINT from NGA.

Of those 81 classified email chains, the FBI assessed that 37 of them included Secret information while eight included Top Secret information. Worse, seven email chains included Special Access Program or SAP information, which is tightly protected by the Intelligence Community and shared on a restricted, need-to-know basis only.

Now again, with that in mind, remember that Comey recommended no indictment for Hillary Rodham Clinton though a navy sailor will be spending a year in prison for taking six photos inside the submarine USS Alexandria in 2009 when it was in Groton, Connecticut.  The photos were on a phone that was found at a waste transfer station in Connecticut.  One year in prison.

Keep reading.  It gets better.

Three more email chains contained Sensitive Compartmented Information or SCI, which was almost certainly SIGINT from NSA. SCI always requires special protection and handling. In fact, you’re only allowed to access it inside a specially-built Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, a SCIF (pronounced “skiff”) in spy-speak. Any exposure of SCI brings severe penalties—at least if you’re not named Clinton.

It’s nice to see the FBI finally confirm just how much highly classified information got exposed here, but I reported this many months ago from Intelligence Community sources, including that Hillary’s “unclassified” emails included Top Secret SAP information from CIA and Top Secret SCI information from NSA.

John Schindler then makes the point.

Which leads to a troubling matter: What the FBI did not mention in its big data dump on EmailGate.

This then brings up the question of Sidney Blumenthal and his email to Secretary of State Hillary regarding Sudan in 2011

Not to mention that, in terms of verbiage and format, Blumenthal’s email read exactly like classified NSA reporting, as anybody acquainted with our SIGINT would immediately recognize. As one veteran agency official told me back in January, Blumenthal’s email was NSA information with “at least 90 percent confidence.”

So: information acquired from the NSA was encapsulated in that email to Clinton.  The NSA even said Blumenthal’s Sudan email contained information from four different agency SIGINT reports, all classified Top Secret/SCI.

At least one of those reports was issued under the GAMMA compartment, which is an NSA handling caveat that is applied to extraordinarily sensitive information (for instance, decrypted conversations between top foreign leadership, as this was). GAMMA is properly viewed as a SIGINT Special Access Program, or SAP, several of which Clinton compromised in another series of her “unclassified” emails.

All on Hillary’s server.  A private server funded by you and me, the American Taxpayer.  A server which existed to keep Hillary’s machinations secret and therefore avoiding scrutiny, FOIA requests, responsibility and accountability.  A server through which she could also quietly run Clinton Foundation information and dealings.

“It’s word-for-word, verbatim copying,” an agency official of them explained. “In one case, an entire paragraph was lifted from an NSA report” that was classified Top Secret/SCI. To add to the mystery, Sid emailed Hillary his “personal” assessment on Sudan only hours after some of those classified NSA reports were issued.

So, there is unequivocally no doubt that NSA information was run through emails to Hillary’s server.  Then Schindler again hits it out of the ball park:

Somehow Sid Blumenthal—who in 2011 was not working for the U.S. government in any capacity and had not held security clearances in a decade—was reading above-top-secret NSA reports just hours after they appeared in tightly restricted GAMMA channels.

Emails sent to Hillary’s private server — information of which was hacked by Guccifer and others, likely sent to Russia and China — by a non-government person with no vetting for any form of security whatsoever.

The term GAMMA never appears in the paperwork the Bureau released last week.

Why not?  Schindler writes:

Not admitting that above-top-secret NSA information was compromised only furthers the Clintonian cover-up at this point.

The American Taxpayer needs to know, and needs to realize there’s an excellent chance that Blumenthal will be in the Hillary White House if she wins.

Here’s one other thing we know: the NSA itself was hacked.  Likely by Russians.

Are these two events connected?

Did one yield the other?

The target-rich environment of Hillary Clinton, a moron

Hillary Clinton Burned State SecretsJust when I thought Hillary was having a bad week last week, I documented her equally-bad past week here and here and here.  It’s been a splendid feast at the Hillary Theater of the Absurd.

I start out with this video today because, frankly, it just makes me larf out loud to see the American Media Maggots smacked upside their stupid heads with the truth — and they don’t want to believe it.  Prepare to bark like a duck, dearest readers.

Was that not grand, eh wot?

These are actions that, you, the American Taxpayer, funded:

There were so many Clinton catastrophes this past week that I actually have to break them down individually.

Hillary Clinton RULES For Small People1. Hillary Clinton lost classified cellular phones.

From Breitbart.com:

FBI: Hillary Clinton Lost Cell Phones with Classified Emails

by Joel B. Pollak

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost several mobile telephones carrying e-mails from her private server during her time in office, according to newly-released FBI documents on the investigation into her mishandling of classified information.

“[Huma] Abedin and [former Clinton aide Monica] Hanley indicated the whereabouts of Clinton’s [mobile] devices would frequently become unknown once she transitioned to a new device,” one report indicates.

On other occasions, a staffer would destroy Clinton’s old mobile phones “by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer,” the FBI documents reveal.

Uh, yeah.  See the video above.  But wait for the damning paragraph:

The fact that Clinton’s staff attempted to destroy her old smartphones whenever they could indicates that they knew there was sensitive information on the devices.

In law enforcement, that is called a “consciousness of guilt.”

2. Hillary did not know what “C” meant.

Not cement.  What “C” meant.

From the NYPost.com:

Clinton claims she didn’t know emails marked ‘C’ were confidential

by Carl Campanile, Daniel Halper and Linda Massarella

Hillary Clinton was so cavalier about security at the State Department that she told FBI agents she had no idea that the letter “C” stood for confidential in official e-mails.

Time and again during a 3 1/2-hour interview with agents investigating her private email server, the Democratic presidential candidate shrugged off concerns that her digital behavior was endangering the nation’s security.

  • When asked about an email chain containing “C’’ markings during her tenure as Secretary of State, Clinton “speculated it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order.” instead of the obvious designation for confidential or classified data.

  • Clinton didn’t know the difference between the government’s classifications of TOP SECRET, SECRET, and CONFIDENTIAL. In fact, she told the FBI that she “did not pay attention to the ‘level’ of classification and took all classified information seriously.”

  • Clinton had 13 separate cell phones, including 11 smart phones linked to two different phone numbers – eight of which were used during her tenure at the state Department.

Hello?  Calling all morons?  So Hillary answered.

3. Hillary lost a laptop containing classified info in the mail.

At this point your proper response would be something on the order of “what the hell?”  First, for sending something like that through the US mail and, second, for trusting the US mail in the first place.

From Breitbart.com:

Laptop with Entire Clinton Email Archive Lost in the Mail

by Michelle Moons

Both an Apple laptop and a thumb drive containing a 2013 archive of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails was lost after being put in the mail and never provided to the FBI according to the agency’s documentation of it’s investigation into Clinton’s mishandling of classified information.

Folks, you couldn’t write an episode of the Keystone Cops as moronic as this.

A person whose name was redacted in the FBI documentation told the agency that after the email archive was transferred, the emails were deleted, but he “did not wipe the laptop.” The person further told the FBI that, on Hanley’s instruction, he shipped the laptop using either the “United States Postal Service or United Parcel Service to [redacted] who was Clinton’s [redacted] at the time.”

FBI documentation then states, “[redacted] told the FBI that she never received the laptop from [redacted] however, she advised that Clinton’s staff was moving offices at the time, and it would have been easy for the package to get lost during the transition period. Neither Hanley nor [redacted] could identify the current whereabouts of the Archive Laptop or thumb drive containing the archive, and the FBI does not have either item in its possession.”

Lost.  Hey, no big dealio, eh wot?  Just national security shite.  Yawn.  What’s that “C” mean again?

4. Hillary told FBI she never received a classified document briefing, but paperwork says otherwise.

From the WeeklyStandard.com:

Hillary Signed She Received Briefing on Classified Info, But Told FBI She Hadn’t

by Jeryl Bier

Either Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI or she lied on a State Department form as she began her tenure as Secretary of State. This conclusion appears inescapable after Friday’s FBI document release related to the Clinton email investigation.

As revealed by those FBI documents, Clinton told agents that she could not recall “any briefing or training by State related to the retention of federal records of handling of classified information”.

There’s a problem, though. This problem:

Hillary Clinton SIGNED Nondisclosure STATEMENTHillary Clinton is, truly, the gift that keeps on giving.  That is, if these were ordinary times covered by actual journalists with an actual curiosity.  Nope.  None of those here in the US.  Damned few.  Above the fold or leading newscasts?  Nope.  Wouldn’t be prudent.

The American Media Maggots keep waiting for Hillary to extend her hand so they can lick it, or she pats them on the head.

But wait! she says.  Things are changing!  Having had no open press conferences in 275 days, Hillary has deigned to lower herself to having the press on her new blue campaign plane.  So Monday, with pens and cameras and digital voice recorders in hand, what did the press ask?

Clinton, under pressure for not holding a press conference for nearly 280 days, was peppered with questions like, “How was your Labor Day weekend?” Another question: “Are you ready?”

“Do you have a Labor Day message?” one reporter asked.

STOP THE PRESSES 2Yes!  The media digs deep for concerned, insightful and probing questions for Hillary Clinton!

But everything in its due time and, hell, it’s all excusable anyway:

Asked if she was instructed about the preservation of records when she was leaving office in 2013, Clinton noted that she suffered a concussion in December 2012 and “ could not recall every briefing she received.”

The dog ate her homework.  She was asleep in her bunk at the time.  She hit her head.

She can’t be bothered with something as petty as national security.  Security worries are not for Clintons.  They are for little people.

Hillary to FBI: “I can’t recall”

Hillary Clinton Could NOT RECALL Answers To THESE QUESTIONS

Hillary Clinton responded “I cannot recall” to these questions from the FBI.

Which is it, Hillary?

First, you said:

Then you said:

Hillary Clinton absolutely has to be one of three things, then:

  1. An incredible moron, or
  2. A LIAR of the first order, or
  3. A combination of both

I can’t wait for Assange October, because I think November is going to be a bit of a surprise.

P.S.

This is how seriously Hillary Clinton takes American national security and your taxpayer dollars — dollars you spent to fund her private server and seed money to begin the entire Clinton Foundation.
