Hillary Clinton divulged Top Secret nuclear security intelligence to tens of millions of worldwide television audience viewers Wednesday night during the third presidential debate, according to high-ranking Department of Defense personnel.
Clinton, responding to opponent Donald Trump and a question posed by debate moderator Chris Wallace, boasted specific and “damaging” details about the United States’ nuclear response time to retaliate during a nuclear attack. Clinton said:
“But here’s the deal. The bottom line on nuclear weapons is that when the president gives the order, it must be followed. There’s about four minutes between the order being given and the people responsible for launching nuclear weapons to do so.” –Hillary Clinton, National TV Appearance
“Secretary Clinton proved tonight she is unfit to be commander-in-chief,” a top-ranking DOD intelligence source said. “What she did compromises our national security. She is cavalier and reckless and in my opinion should be detained and questioned so we can unravel why she did what she did.”
According to Pentagon sources, the information Clinton disseminated publicly is Top Secret intelligence governed under the U.S. Special Access Program (SAP) which dictates safeguards and protocols for accessing and discussing highly classified and Top Secret intelligence. The specific details of the country’s nuclear response time discussed by Clinton, sources said, are only known by a handful of individuals outside top military brass, including the following “need-to-know” (NTK) officials:
President Vice President Secretary of State Secretary of Defense Secretary of Homeland Security Attorney General Director of National Intelligence CIA Director Deputy Secretary of State Deputy Secretary of Defense Special personnel designated solely by the President in writing
Sources said late Wednesday Clinton likely violated two different types of Dept. of Defense SAP protocols. Since nuclear response is part of the sensitive national plan for nuclear war operations, all of its schematics are covered under both “Intelligence SAPs” and “Operation and Support SAPs,” sources said. Both contain Top Secret information.
“Targeting options by ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missiles), air or sea, launch order, launch procedures and response are some of the most secretly guarded tenets of national security and nuclear war policy,” a Pentagon source said. “It’s truly incredible that (nuclear) response time as part of an ERO (Emergency Response Option) is now out there in the public domain to our adversaries.”
U.S. Defense sources said according to developed U.S. counterintelligence, military officials in China, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Iran and even actors like ISIS had no previous definitive intelligence to determine the U.S.’s nuclear response time, especially during an ERO, prior to Clinton’s admission Wednesday night. Sources reluctantly acknowledged her calculations were accurate.
“Any time frame calculated would have merely been an educated hypothesis, absent leaked documents and there have been no such breaches,” the DOD source said.
Clinton has come under fire time and time again for mishandling national security secrets via email, telephone and secure facsimile during and after her tenure as secretary of state. Her mishandling of classified and top secret intelligence sparked a year-long investigation by the FBI and various Congressional committees which continue to examine Clinton’s lackluster security controls with and attitude toward protecting some of the nation’s most sensitive data which she stored on an unprotected home server in the basement of her Chappaqua, New York home during her post at Foggy Bottom.
Clinton, just this week, unleashed a series of campaign ads painting Trump as a loose cannon who should never be in control of nuclear secrets and weapons. Clinton trumpeted the seemingly ill-timed ads Wednesday night at the debate prior to her rant divulging nuclear secrets herself.
Hillary Divulges Nuclear Intelligence
There’s about four minutes per Hillary. I’m going to nit pick since she’s the smartest woman in the world.
There’s (There IS) about four minutes.....
Shouldn’t that be
There’re (There ARE about four minutes.
As for the four minute drill. I knew that from a top secret clearance I had in the Navy in the 1970s. I figure that would be old news by now but apparently now.
Things could be worse alert!
P.S. This is really not funny.
I stand corrected, he actually said: I’ll keep you in suspense.
I wonder if the Trump team knows this. Does anyone know how to get it to their campaign staff?
Obviously, this woman can’t keep her mouth shut, and so therefore has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office.
I’m absolutely speechless.
I watched that and thought it odd that she mentioned the exact time lapse.
What a nasty woman.
We should see that graphic on as many Hillary threads as possible...great work!
Close.
‘I’ll keep you in suspense ‘.
She and Obama are in cahoots with Putin. He is allowing them to toss him out as a straw man because this is the only way they can see to protect against WikiLeaks and defeat Trump. He and Obama are rattling sabers to make sure we’re concerned and give the belief that there might be some confrontation.
If the Beast wins, Putin will own her...and us.
thanks. They will now turn this into him wanting to be king and dictator, etc.
He could have said if there’s not rampant fraud, but Trump is Trump and it’s worked so far.
Hillary was willing to jeopardize our national security for political gain.
Ah - but according to the establishment, Trump is the reckless and dangerous one.
People in Washington truly live in an upside down world.
That’s why they’re gung-ho on Hillary.
Loose lips....private server with confidential info..........and she thinks Trump is a problem? Hillary, look in the mirror.....YOU will get us all killed, YOU will be careless with war...you already have been.
Trump did say something like you mentioned. I had no problem with his answer. Why should he say what he will do in that aspect. He was being led down a path and refused to play.
As for HRC...jeez I heard her statement and it dovetailed with a tweet campaign that rolled out the same time. You know that tweet was planned in committee and mulled over for several days. This was all to paint Trump as unstable...
Will anyone report that she gave away secrets? If she would have said minutes she might have been fine. I read the Bloomberg article and even there it was speculation in terms of possible time. Anyone could probably make an educated guess I suppose. But for a presidential candidate to actually nail down the timline with such authority is truly the mark of an unstable person.
I read an excellent article late last year that was a re-printing of a much earlier article regarding Trump a nuclear non-proliferation. The article was regarding an interview he had in the mid 80s. He was trying to help out the Reagan administration with those efforts. Whether he actually was helping the administration or not I don’t know. Maybe he was trying to make himself important, I really do not know. But my take away was that Trump is not a nuclear cowboy. I really think he detests war and what it brings. From that interview in the 80s I do know that he will not be quick on that nuclear trigger if god forbid it ever has to be considered.
Damn HIllary and her dark heart. I really think she was trying to both play Trump and send a message to Putin. Trump I think is trying to stop a war and Hillary is trying to start one. What the hell is going on...
Late night early morning ramblings...
She talked about nukes as if she has already prepared plans to launch them. Spine-chilling.
She’s heavily medicated. I’m re-watching the debate, focusing on Hillary, and she is practically falling asleep in between questions. She keeps picking up her pen and writing something, puts the pen down, then picks it up again to write, over and over. She’s also not reacting to anything Donald says, which is so unlike the first debate. I don’t think she meant to divulge that info, but she’s even more careless than usual because of the drugs. The truth is there’s something seriously wrong with her and she should not be running.
Agreed across the board.
If Clinton does win because more legal votes are cast for her than for him, he will accept her as president. The MSM is just trying to make news where there isn’t any.
Wallace should’ve asked that question of both candidates.
I saw that look in last debate too - she looked like she was about to drift off when she was not talking. She is not well.
In a few places I've seen them say (in that arrogant tone they always have): "Oh, everyone already knew this, this has been common knowledge forever, it's all over the Internet, anyone who thinks this is some kind of revelation is just proving how uninformed they are," yada yada.
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg believe that they would like to see her get what they got . . . it’s only fair!
