Retired Foggy Bottom Military Advisor talks about intelligence leaks
[Newsweek] A retired senior State Department military advisor claims that Hillary Clinton’s "sloppy communications with her senior staff" when she was secretary of state may have compromised at least two counterterror operations.Bill Johnson, who was the State Department’s political adviser to the special operations section of the U.S. Pacific Command, or PACOM, in 2010 and 2011, says secret plans to eliminate the leader of a Filipino Islamist separatist group as well as intercept Chinese-made weapons components being smuggled into Iraq, were repeatedly foiled. Johnson says he and his team eliminated the possibility of other security leaks before settling on the unprotected telephone calls of the secretary of state and her aides as the likely source--though he quickly adds they had "no proof." "I had several missions that went inexplicably wrong, with the targets one step ahead of us," Johnson tells Newsweek in an exclusive interview. Clinton's spokesman Nick Merrill calls the allegations "patently false." Unfortunately, there is much more. Washington Examiner, same story. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-05-26 |
