CNN Intel Analyst: Hillary's Server A Deal-Breaker, 'I Can't Tell You How Bad This Is'
[Breitbart] CNN Intelligence and Security Analyst and former CIA spy Robert Baer said that Hillary Clinton’s server and the material reportedly on it is a deal-breaker, adding, “I wonder if she’s capable of being president,” “you and I’d get fired, and possibly jailed. This could be a felony,” and “[this] is a transgression that I don’t think the president of the United States should be allowed to have committed on Saturday’s “CNN Newsroom” on CNN International.Skipping down a bit. "If this was on her server, and it got into her smartphone, there's a big problem there. Seriously, if I had sent a document like this over the open Internet, I'd get fired the same day, escorted to the door, and gone for good, and probably charged with mishandling classified information." When asked if people could argue that sometimes things can drop through the cracks, Baer answered, "No. When I was overseas at various stations, I had encrypted communications, and I wasn't even allowed to receive documents like this over highly encrypted communications. We were worried about leakage, and the rest of it, storage, leaving it in hard drives. It couldn't be sent from Washington. This is very, very serious stuff. And, in the discipline of the national security establishment, you never let this stuff out of your hands, and especially on a handheld. And if this in fact, were on her handheld, was sent to her, or she forwarded it [in] any way, I wonder if she's capable of being president." Baer was then asked if he thought this was a "deal-breaker" for Clinton's candidacy. He answered, "As a national security employee -- a former one, yes. I mean this -- I can't tell you how bad this is. ... But having documents like this sent across the Internet, it could be hacked very easily, and probably were hacked, is a transgression that I don't think the president of the United States should be allowed to have committed."
