When Hillary chastises Trump for supposedly being allied with Putin or claims that the Russians hacked the DNC email, she should really reflect on her own staff’s actions in aiding and abetting Putin’s intelligence gathering.

Russian TV reports that the FBI discovered another security violation when US Diplomatic Security (DS) found a classified document from then Sec State Clinton’s briefing book left behind in a Russian hotel room. Monica Hanley, one of Hillary’s former aides, was given a diplomatic pouch with the Sec State’s briefing book and took the pouch to the suite of the Russian hotel she was sharing with Clinton. Following their departure, the DS conducted a routine security sweep and found the classified document.

"anyone else in the military or government mishandling classified material in such a manner would have faced severe consequences for their actions."

Remind me of the scene in Scarface when he says “here, here’s the key to the front door. Why dont you give it to them?”

There was some subtle humor in that movie that was pretty good :)

The fish stinks from the head. The fact that Hill didn’t care to worry that her email was easily hacked, tells her aides not to be super diligent.

#2 reason I’m voting for Trump—safety and security must improve!

[Dilbert San Diego]

Now, will our liberal media go with this story, or ignore it?

My God, you know what the liberal and media reaction would be, if a Republican had been so careless with secret information.

I hope Clinton Foundation got a nice anonymous donation.

Scatter brains leading scatter brains. It seems no one in this administration takes security seriously, from Odungo who only attends 45% of his security briefings to some airhead who leaves secret documents in a French taxi

The Soros-supported Obama administration has done more to help build Russia's strength than anyone. Obama went out of his way to appease the KGB/FSB thug on such critically important things as missile defense and nukes. Now, apparently, that Putin has gotten what he wanted from the willing saboteur-in-chief he's basically told him to get lost and get out of the way. BO must be crushed by the rejection, after all that he's done for him.

Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch' on Ukraine

Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

March 2012...

"Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:

Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space."

Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ..."

Obama: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."

Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."

"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." That statement tells us much about the president's mindset.

The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration. Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president's comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.

In addition, there is the phrase "on all these issues," implying more is at stake than just missile defense."

Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs

February 29, 2008 :: News
MissileThreat.com

A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.

The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:

Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.

First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[i.e. not win it]

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

I will not weaponize space.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

Minor issue if you have immunity which seems to be given out like candy.

Hillary chastises Trump for supposedly being allied with Putin.......

She didn't know Bill had a laugh-filled chat w/ Putin while she was Secy of State? And neither did Obama?

Hillary musta been emailing.......or cashing Foundation checks. Obama was golfing.

PIC Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.

"Hahahaha. US ntl security? Hahahaha. You gotta be kidding, Vlad."

Leaving classified documents in a Russian hotel room.
Just one example of "Smart Power" advancing US ntl security (/sarc).

===========================================

The ambitious, self-serving Hillary Clinton arrogantly declared
this the age of, “smart power” (her made-up assinine term).

LIBERAL DRIVEL: "They looked out at the world at the end of the Bush years, and didn’t see tough decisions, unsolvable problems, unstable institutions, restless populations, technology enabling the impulse to destabilize existing institutions, evil men hungry for more power, and difficult trade-offs."

"No, our problems and challengers were just a matter of the previous hands running U.S. foreign policy not being smart enough." (Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ..

=============================================

So, you think Hillary's said some stupid things? Now this is simply astonishing:

BACK IN DECEMBER 2015 HILLARY GOT BIG BUCKS TO SAY"
"This is what we call smart power," Clinton said to a small audience at Georgetown. "Using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security. Leaving no one on the sidelines. Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view."

Helping to define the problems, determine the solutions. That is what we believe in the 21st century will change -- change the prospects for peace."

WATCH HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zVHgqj8His

==================================================

Former Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, a Fox News host, said the comments are “irrational.” “I can’t think of a presidential candidate who would have said those kinds of things,” he said. “Think about December 7, 1941 and then FDR going to the Congress of the United States the next day saying, ‘We need to have more empathy for Japan.’”

Can you imagine George Bush standing atop the rubble of the World Trade Center with his bullhorn saying "I hear you! And soon the people who took these buildings down will be getting more respect and empathy from us!"

(Excerpt) Read more at floppingaces.net...

=============================================

We "deplorables" never bought into the sap-happy liberal notion that
getting greater cooperation and less hostility from our enemies was just
a matter of giving them our wealth, our jobs, our national sovereignty,
plus an eternal case of victimization.

sharing a suite? wtf
I travel constantly, I am sure the gangstamint can afford a private suite..who are these people...private sex therapist?

[silverleaf]

A “ briefing book” is not a single document
A briefing book in a diplomatic pouch would likely have been stuffed with notes and backgrounders on many issues

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

"Classified information” is too abstract.

If Trump finds a way to make the LIV understand what that means operationally, by comparison with, say, identity theft, he should win in a walk.
