Clinton Emails Contain Intel From the Most Classified Programs

Clinton

Hillary Clinton claims she never sent or received any information marked classified through her private email server arrangement. An unclassified letter from an Inspector General tells a different story.

A letter obtained by Fox News from Inspector General Charles McCullough III shows Hillary Clinton’s private server contains information from the U.S. governments most secretive and classified programs called SAP or “special access programs.”

Catherine Herridge of Fox News reports:

Intelligence from a “special access program,” or SAP, is even more sensitive than that designated as “top secret” – as were two emails identified last summer in a random sample pulled from Clinton’s private server she used as secretary of state. Access to a SAP is restricted to those with a “need-to-know” because exposure of the intelligence would likely reveal the source, putting a method of intelligence collection — or a human asset — at risk. Currently, some 1,340 emails designated “classified” have been found on Clinton’s server, though the Democratic presidential candidate insists the information was not classified at the time.

“There is absolutely no way that one could not recognize SAP material,” a former senior law enforcement with decades of experience investigating violations of SAP procedures told Fox News. “It is the most sensitive of the sensitive.”

This is the same level of classified information that lead to the prosecution of General David Petraeus when it was discovered he had shared intelligence from such “special access programs” with his biographer and mistress Paula Broadwell. Petraeus had signed an explicit non-disclosure agreement to protect such secretive material:

Executive Order 13526 — called “Classified National Security Information” and signed Dec. 29, 2009 — sets out the legal framework for establishing special access programs. The order says the programs can only be authorized by the president, “the Secretaries of State, Defense, Energy, and Homeland Security, the Attorney General, and the Director of National Intelligence, or the principal deputy of each.”

The programs are created when “the vulnerability of, or threat to, specific information is exceptional,” and “the number of persons who ordinarily will have access will be reasonably small and commensurate with the objective of providing enhanced protection for the information involved,” it states.

According to court documents, former CIA Director David Petraeus was prosecuted for sharing intelligence from special access programs with his biographer and mistress Paula Broadwell. At the heart of his prosecution was a non-disclosure agreement where Petraeus agreed to protect these closely held government programs, with the understanding “unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention or negligent handling … could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation.” Clinton signed an identical non-disclosure agreement Jan. 22, 2009. 

Hillary Clinton’s camp pushed back, claiming the emails were not marked classified at the time they were sent or recieved. Experts have stated that there is no way Clinton would not have recognized the documents as classified.
