Whistleblower: Beest's Chief of Staff Quashed State Dept. Scandal Investigation
2015-08-13
[Breitbart] A former senior investigator with the State Department's criminal investigative unit has turned whistleblower and alleged to both the media and Congress that senior staff within State Department covered up investigations into appalling behavior committed by members of Hillary Clinton's security staff and our ambassador to Belgium. One of those alleged to have interfered was Cheryl Mills, Hillary's chief of staff.

The case in which Clinton enforcer Mills allegedly intervened centered upon Brett McGurk, Obama's nominee to be US ambassador to Iraq.

McGurk's expected nomination fell apart after a computer hack exposed his racy e-mails and an extramarital affair with Wall Street Journal reporter Gina Chon.

According to the memo, the SID "never interviewed McGurk, allegedly because Cheryl Mills from the Secretary's office interceded."

"Without that interview, SID has been unable to close the case," the memo concludes.

Mills is a longtime associate of the Clintons, going back to 1992, and was also at the center of the first scandal to hit Hillary's State Department: Benghazi. Gregory Hicks, the former Deputy Chief of Mission in Libya, testified before Congress that Mills instructed him not to cooperate with the Congressional investigation into the September 11 terror attacks.

Mills isn't the only high-ranking official being named. Patrick Kennedy, the Undersecretary of State for Management, is directly accused of killing an investigation into our Ambassador to Belgium, Howard Gutman, who is accused of slipping away from his security detail to solicit sex from minor children.
Appears a rift exists, or has existed between the Clinton inner circle and Foggy Bottom career DoS, Foreign Service types. The gloves are off, the 'cheese eating' has begun. Make no mistake, a Federal investigation is now officially underway and people are diving for cover. As has been said here previously, the Beest did not act alone. We may be seeing more of Joe Biden very, very soon.

#6  ...and then the Chinese wait in the wings, with materials in hand. How can the Clintistas claim they're not authentic as they have no evidence to say otherwise having destroyed it?

This could be a fascinating year of (literally) Chinese water torture, drop after drop after drop....

#5  If they've have suspect emails, the server is not needed. It should be easy enough to construct the elements of a criminal conspiracy without the server. This sanitizing and retransmission of classified email traffic was a 24x7 TEAM effort. Several people would have had to be involved. Even more would have been knowledgeable.

If the Beest used nothing but an UNCLAS system, how did she communicate with the Champ while she was at State. Someone needs to subpoena members of the White House Communications Detachment and the U.S. State Department Information Management Officer (IMO) ask some probing questions.

What if anything did the WH know? How could the Foggy Bottom IMO or WH Coms Det NOT know ?
