WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China killed or imprisoned 18 to 20 CIA sources from 2010 to 2012, hobbling U.S. spying operations in a massive intelligence breach whose origin has not been identified, the New York Times reported on Saturday.

Investigators remain divided over whether there was a spy within the Central Intelligence Agency who betrayed the sources or whether the Chinese hacked the CIA's covert communications system, the newspaper reported, citing current and former U.S. officials.

I have long maintained that the server was set up SPECIFICALLY to provide donors to the Foundation access to classified intelligence. Pay for Play and nearly untraceable.

Don’t forget the OPM hack. The Chinese have the personal information of everyone that applied for a security clearance since the mid 1980’s. It happened during Obama. He gave everyone up. This is an excerpt from a Gizmodo article.

Multiple security firms have tied Sakulato the OPM attack—a massive data breach that involved the records of millions of US citizens who had undergone government security clearance checks. According to Washington Post sources, China’s involvement was suspected by US authorities, though the Obama administration never official ascribed blame.

The big one was Bill Clinton & Loral. Got away with it. Memories are short so another elected Democrat will pick it up again.

Makes me sick reading about the blatant disregard maintaining secured documents. No one can be that dumb. She just doesn’t give a damn about anyone but herself.

When we get past these Chinese “courtesy copies,” maybe we’ll pick up with the Muslim Brotherhood, who didn’t have to display technical prowess to hack into Hillary’s server.

They had Huma copying all (well, very many, at least) of Hillary’s private server emails onto her and her husband’s laptop via Huma’s Yahoo email account.

The way Yahoo worked throughout that time was that multiple computers throughout the globe may be enabled, all simultaneously to access any given email account.

So how many computers throughout the Muslim Brotherhood world were opened at any given time to read Hillary’s and our State Department’s classified emails? Unlike for the Chinese, copies would not have to be sent to any foreign account. Huma simply received such emails via what seemed to be her Yahoo email account, never minding that she—for all government work—was required to use only a .gov, secure account via a secure .gov server.

And how many of our confidential human sources throughout the muslim world went dark in the years 2009-2017?

Who was the head of the CIA between 2010-2012, the DNI, and the Secy of State?

When you answer those three questions, then you’ll know why our agents were exposed and killed.

Linky to gizmodo please? I had thought it was the mid-1990s due to server changes.

One of the things that came to light is that in the early 90s, suddenly at least a couple of dozen Chinese attached themselves as fund-raisers and aides to a couple of dozen up-and-coming politicians (and a few established ones). Most of these showed up within about 18 months of one-another.

Charlie Trie, and John Huang weren’t the only ones who managed to tie themselves to successful politicians - but their patronage was a substantial part of getting their clients to the Presidency.

We know that the State Department was successfully hacked during that time period. We also know that the State Department firewalls were shut down for a time so Hillary’s e-mails would stop getting caught in the security filters.

When we traveled to sensitive places like Russia, we often received warnings from the Department security officials to leave our BlackBerries,


Actually, she was told back in 2009 an absolute NO in regards Blackberries and her staff was given a day-long presentation from the NSA on why they could not be made secure...right after being refused a waiver, and right before she had the private server set up on an old laptop.

Iran tortured and executed a spy in their nuclear program that we KNOW was named in Hillary’s e-mails.

I don’t think this article says how far back the people were effected but I was one who had a top secret clearance. I remember getting the notification from OPM stating that all of the information on all SF 86’s dating back to the mid 80’s had been compromised. This will include everyone in the intelligence field. The year 1985 stands out in my mind. Of course, OPM offered credit protection from a company I’ve never heard of and no nothing about. This a link to the article.

Everybody knows it was Hillary.

Indeed. China has BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION material for everyone WITH a clearance, and everyone WHO APPLIED FOR A CLEARANCE AND DIDN'T GET ONE. That's MILLIONS of Americans.

China has some SERIOUS BLACKMAIL material on millions of Americans!!!
