FORMER CIA ANALYST: Hillary Clinton’s Unencrypted Personal Email Server May Have Led to Benghazi Attack
There’s an important article over at Consortium News by longtime CIA analyst Ray McGovern, who prepared Presidential Daily Briefings for presidents Nixon, Ford and Reagan, and which highlights an interesting point I hadn’t come across before.
Namely, that Hillary’s use of an insecure personal email server — that was almost certainly hacked by America’s enemies — could very well have exposed Ambassador Steven’s lack of security in his Benghazi compound, thereby leading directly to the terror attack that killed four Americans.
One very important, though as yet unmentioned, question is whether security lapses involving Clinton and her emails contributed to what Clinton has deemed her worst moment as Secretary of State, the killing of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other U.S. personnel at the lightly guarded U.S. “mission” (a very small, idiosyncratic, consulate-type complex not performing any consular affairs) in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012.
Somehow the terrorists who mounted the assault were aware of the absence of meaningful security at the facility, though obviously there were other means for them to have made that determination, including the State Department’s reliance on unreliable local militias who might well have shared that inside information with the attackers.
However, if there is any indication that Clinton’s belatedly classified emails contained information about internal State Department discussions regarding the consulate’s security shortcomings, questions may be raised about whether that information was somehow compromised by a foreign intelligence agency and shared with the attackers.
We know that State Department bureaucrats under Secretary Clinton overruled repeated requests for additional security in Benghazi. We also know that Clinton disregarded NSA’s repeated warnings against the use of unencrypted communications…
One can only pray that the FBI exposes this crime family once and for all and terminates their political aspirations with extreme prejudice. (For more from the author of “FORMER CIA ANALYST: Hillary Clinton’s Unencrypted Personal Email Server May Have Led to Benghazi Attack” please click HERE)
