| Now Hear This - Clinton Defense Will Undercut Classification/Clearance system |

| By U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Thomas Brooks (Retired) [US Navy Institute] The Clinton email saga will provide grist for the politicians, pundits, and tabloids for a long time to come. But the immediate impact will be ever-more-shrill charges and countercharges as the election cycle winds down, with pro-Hillary and anti-Hillary camps "spinning" the facts to suit their political beliefs. From the perspective of some, Mrs. Clinton deliberately set up a private email server to ensure her emails remained private and not a matter of public record and then used this unprotected server to send and receive official messages, some of which were highly classified. Clinton apologists will respond that it was all an innocent mistake and she has admitted that, so let’s move on. There is no proof her computer was hacked, so there is no proof any of the classified emails were compromised. Thus, there is no reason to be concerned over what FBI Director James Comey characterized as Mrs. Clinton's "extremely careless" handling of classified material. There are, however, a number of reasons to be concerned. Most important, anyone who believes the Russians (and probably others) were not reading the emails of the U.S. Secretary of State is hopelessly naïve. According to the press, some of these emails contained sensitive intelligence, to include identification of sources. If this is true, it is very serious. Lengthy article. Be sure to review the author's credentials. |

| #2 Reference Clinton's military aide, this article is well worth reading: "Is Gen. John Allen in Over His Head? President Obama’s point man in the fight against the Islamic State faces a ruthless foe. But his detractors at home -- even in the Pentagon -- may be his biggest enemy." |
