In a stinging new article, Jeb Babbin outlines how 16 different intelligence agencies must have known about Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server. So far not one of them has publicly objected:
Those facts could spread Hillary’s obvious criminality with a broad brush. If none of the intelligence agencies objected, and none sought to terminate her use of the unsecured system for communicating top secret — even compartmented information such as Special Access Programs — these agencies and their leaders are as culpable as Clinton and the president.
Remember, please, that the “clintonmail.com” system was entirely unprotected from interception of all emails by hostile governments such as Iran, Russia, and China (among others) and even sophisticated terrorist groups such as ISIS, al-Qaeda, and too many others. It is reasonable to conclude that anything that could have been intercepted and read by any hostile nation or terrorist group was intercepted, read, and shared among our enemies.

Mr. Babbin seems to not understand the purpose of the modern intelligence apparatus. It isn’t there to protect America from enemies foreign and domestic, it’s there to protect the likes of Hitlery from Americans.
The fish rots from the head down. Either;
a) Our Intelligence Agencies … aren’t … very intelligent, or
b) They are complicit in facilitating Hillary’s evasion of public scrutiny, or worst
c) Our Intelligence Agencies are actually serving foreign masters, doing all they can to undermine America by exposing ALL our secrets.
I actually fear that c) is the correct selection. Bill Clinton STARTED the “leveling of the Intelligence playing field” when he exposed countless secrets to the Communist Chinese … through “missing” laptops, etc. The LEFT has always had this ideology (My LEFTIST professors at UC Berkeley taught about it) that NO country should be a Superpower. That NO country should have a military or tactical advantage over another. It is the LEFTIST version of MAD (mutually assured destruction). The adjunct college professor in Chief is just obeying the Rules for Radicals. He has made us all vulnerable … in more ways that we can even imagine.
Just a thought, is it not possible that the e-mails were intercepted during Benghazi and emboldened the attackers, knowing nothing was coming?
Yes.
Worse, the e-mails before Benghazi from Stephens asking State Department(Hillary) for beefed up security and then being rejected were likely intercepted.
Those ones caused the attack to be planned and carried out.
They’re secret, though. We may never know.
If there are any emails from DOJ to State on Hillary’s private system,except for ones advising Hillary of the illegality of using said system, the DOJ is complicit and is being asked to indite themselves.
Ditto the FBI, how did FBI communicate with head of Stare?
Congress, presuming a spline, must install a special prosecutor.
If foreign enemies believe what they found on her server, think about what that means they thought about her. They must think she is a egomaniacal nitwit.
“Remember, please, that the “clintonmail.com” system was entirely unprotected from interception of all emails by hostile governments such as Iran, Russia, and China (among others) and even sophisticated terrorist groups such as ISIS, al-Qaeda, and too many others.

I’m sure any intelligence contained in anything that went through HRC’s private convenience/control unclas server is assumed by various security, military and law enforcement agencies to already have been breached and in the hands of America’s enemies.
They might as well release them as Hillary demands because their secrets are compromised anyway. They won’t and she is bluffing. She really doesn’t give a damn does she, about the consequences of her irresponsible and likely illegal conduct? It is her actions and only her actions that could lead to these emails being declassified, now leaked to the public domain. If she read/handled any of them, she should be criminally prosecuted.
But, no way the Obama administration lets that happen, for two reasons. First, they’re all good Democrats with lots of dirt on each other. Second, it will taint his legacy – that’s the most important thing, not enabling Iran, not crippling the US economy with debt, not playing the race and gun control card constantly, but one of his senior advisors is accused and subsequently found guilty of a crime.
Bad legacy, bad legacy. Anyway Hillary is growing more shrill and desperate sounding every day and it seems Bubba is not himself anymore. They both look like tired out old school establishment politicians, which of course is what they are.
“Clinton Calls Cybersecurity ‘One of the Most Important Challenges’ for the Next President”—headline, Washington Free Beacon, Feb. 3
http://freebeacon.com/politics/clinton-cybersecurity-most-important-challenges-for-next-president/
The Muzzies in Benghazi didn’t need to intercept an email to learn there was no security at our embassy. They could see it with their own eyes … on the ground. They’re watching ALL other Embassies close down and LEAVE … and the US as lightly-protected at best … with no other allied Embassy security staff to call-on. Hillary pulled our pants down, and invited the RAPE of our Embassy.
I am convinced that Hillary (and Obama) believed that by disarming and unprotecting our Embassy, they were sending a message of … “we come in peace” … to the Muzzies. Like some bad Hollywood script, where an American settler lays down his rifle in front of a Sioux Warrior as a non-verbal expression of “peace” … Obama and Hillary wanted to communicate how THEIR “new” America would greet the Arab Spring breakers. Yep … the Clinton/Obama/Kerry foreign policy is largely based on Kevin Costner’s role in “Dances with Wolves”. Brilliant … just brilliant … the whole lot of em.
That would be the logical conclusion. Though at least some foreign intelligence services would wonder if it was some kind of disinformation operation because it was too good to be true, but then second guess their own second guessing because as a disinformation operation it was so obvious and clumsy they couldn’t believe that either.
The “Intelligence Agencies” did not know about her kludged up email system. Individual “Senior” “high level” very important people knew or should have known about it. The analysts and agents knew nothing, but they and their work was what was compromised.
The senior people did not want to compromise their perks and privileges, so they never wanted to make waves. Compromising National Security does not make waves. Pissing off the State Department or your own political hack boss makes waves, and that is to be avoided in a bureaucracy at all costs. Even if it compromises national security, they ignored it.
A bureaucrat’s survival and eventual cushy pension is much more important to him/her than any possible war or attack on the US.
“The Muzzies in Benghazi didn’t need to intercept an email to learn there was no security at our embassy. They could see it with their own eyes … on the ground.”
So you think that State telling Stephens “No, you can’t have more security.” isn’t similar to saying, “No, we aren’t sending Delta Force or Navy Seals or helicopter gunships or a C-130 gunship.”, when the attack does get under way?
I think they are similar messages and were understood to be so if the e-mails were intercepted.
Right. No disagreement. But the Muzzies (The rag-tag Libyan rebel leadership) had already interpreted (if they weren’t directly informed by the State Dept.) that she was running a “peace mission”. She didn’t want the “appearance” of a hostile force by “overstaffing” our security detail.
As I suggested … Hillary dropped her panties (bad visual) and ANNOUNCED that she was OPEN for business (double bad visual). Unfortunately, she didn’t/doesn’t know how the Muzzies think. How they act in the face of weakness and submission. She (and Obama) have a foreign policy that was written by college sophomores with -0- real world perspective … and it ended poorly.
They’re all (Obama and his cabinet) a bunch of sophomoric ignoramuses. And they have set the table (primarily with Iran) for some really, really, BAD THINGS in the near future. Of course it will end up hitting another Rep. administration. The adults will have to clean-up the kids MESS all over again.
The damage this did is incalculable on so many levels. As was pointed out elsewhere, the Pentagon receives about 100,000 cyber attacks per day. Most of those will be some amateur in Timbuktu trying to hack the Pentagon — hardly a serious threat, but others of those will be routine prowling by hostile professionals in the intelligence agencies of enemies looking for any weakness in the system. The same level of attention would have been directed at any and all high ranking US officials. And Hillary’s “private” e-mail server would have been hacked by the pros before the morning coffee break on the day it was set up. At that point virtually anything going into or out from it was showing up in Moscow, Beijing, Pyongyang, and Tripoli in real time. Whereas initially the content would have been perceived as a decoy for being too good to be true, in no time flat the hostiles would have realized they had the mother lode of intel. The upshot for US allies is that it is now effectively impossible to share any sensitive information with the US since it will likely end up in enemy hands via Hillary’s e-mail by morning. Without prosecution, punishment and a complete overhaul of US handling of sensitive information, the US is now effectively isolated from the allied Intel community. Maybe that was the aim all along?
Do you think that Putin has an e-mail server that is not secure? I expect not, even is his address is vlad@impaler.com. (Seriously, I do not consider him such a villain; and I appreciate his seriousness).
Ever wonder how General Petreus’s emails to his his girlfriend were brought to light? Of course all this was, and is, known but the decision to use it is a political one … eh, Obomber?
Hillary failed the Bar.. She is an functioning moron and those that follow her are truly beyond
description.. They are the mentality challenged children of the crack head generation…Just keep the blow flowing and the party keeps repeating. The “Hotel California”.. Where you Check in, but never checkout are Hillary’s sick supporter.. They don’t give a F****
president Hellary Clinton will be played like a fiddle by those adept at using the weaknesses of others to further their ends.
these weaknesses include opening the floodgates in some sort of suicidal, blind and unrestricted ‘benevolence’. rhymes with violence.
Embrace the power of AND!

You cannot “hack” SIPRNET and JWICS because these are not connected to the Internet; the ordinary hacker won’t know this and will end up trying to fish around completely unclassified “.gov” and “.mil” public sites for secrets that just aren’t there.
Despite all the cybersecurity noise and hype, the only way Snowden and Assange were able to get information from these systems was the old-fashioned way: by downloading the material and effectively walking it out the door (Snowden did it himself; an insider did the job for Assange). That of course is the only way sensitive information could end up on the Clinton server too.
“The upshot for US allies is that it is now effectively impossible to share any sensitive information with the US since it will likely end up in enemy hands via Hillary’s e-mail by morning.

You make it sound like the Clinton server was somehow handling the whole vast throughput of shared sensitive information, which is obviously not the case. The Allied intelligence community will continue to roll along, business as usual. It has withstood the Snowden NSA leaks, so the stuff on Hillary’s server is hardly any worse. Also, as the information probably related to State Department diplomacy, I’d be willing to bet most of it was likely NOFORN anyway (meaning off limits to Allies).
(Let me emphatically state that my comments above are not to be taken as an attempt to minimize the seriousness of this issue.)
