[Washington Examiner] Hillary Clinton recklessly discussed, in emails hosted on her private server, an Iranian nuclear scientist who was executed by Iran for treason, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said Sunday."I'm not going to comment on what he may or may not have done for the United States government, but in the emails that were on Hillary Clinton's private server, there were conversations among her senior advisors about this gentleman," he said on "Face the Nation." Cotton was speaking about Shahram Amiri, who gave information to the U.S. about Iran's nuclear program.
The senator said this lapse proves she is not capable of keeping the country safe.
"That goes to show just how reckless and careless her decision was to put that kind of highly classified information on a private server. And I think her judgment is not suited to keep this country safe," he said.
| One would think Mr. Trump would mention this very fact in the first debate. He'd make the point, one way or another, that the email hack of Ms. Clinton's ill-advised and illegal server led to this man's death. Let the poodle press in charge of the debate try to shut that down. |
If released, technical information provided by Mr. Amiri could have potentially damaging effect on the Obama-Iran Deal. Extremely high profile Mr. Amiri's return to Iran essentially ended his usefulness as a future source. Sharing sensitive source information with the Hildebeest, her team, and homebrew server network may have enabled project termination.
