The media feeding frenzy over the alleged unlawful use by Hillary Clinton
of a non-government email system is having an impact on other
allegations against the presidential wannabe. On Tuesday, a former
Department of Justice prosecuting attorney said that he believes then-Secretary of State Clinton
-- probably using her unofficial and illegal email system -- was
complicit in the leaking of classified intelligence regarding military
operation plans formulated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the
Israeli Defense Force (IDF) to destroy Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Ms. Gearan wrote: "Hillary Rodham Clinton used a private e-mail account for her official government business when she was secretary of state and did not routinely preserve and turn over those e-mails for government records collection, the State Department said Monday." She also wrote: "It was not clear why Clinton, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, created the private account. But the practice appears to bolster long-standing criticism that Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, have not been transparent."
According to documents obtained by Larry Klayman, the top executive at the nonpartisan Freedom Watch, as a result of his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, Secretary Clinton and her closest staff members were the likely sources of the leaks to New York Times reporter David Sanger. Klayman also said the FOIA documents show that those leaks were coordinated with the Obama White House's national security team, which included Susan "Benghazi" Rice and Iranian-born Valerie Jarrett.
Sanger, the New York Times's chief Washington correspondent, has complained that the Obama administration is the "most closed, control-freak administration" he's ever covered. This despite Obama and his minions telling the American people that they are the most transparent White House in modern history. Sanger claims that a memo was sent out by the White House chief of staff to White House employees and the intelligence agencies that ordered them to freeze and retain any email, and presumably phone logs, of communications with him.
Unfortunately, the U.S. Department of State, now under the leadership of John Kerry, continues to stonewall the release of many other documents, but Freedom Watch is currently arguing its case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to force further release. Oral arguments are expected to occur in early April (case no. 14-5174).
On Tuesday, Klayman issued a biting statement regarding the deteriorating Israeli-American relations thanks to Barack Obama and the Democrats this week: "It seems that President Obama and would-be president Hillary Clinton have done much to try to put a chink in the side of both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel so they could reach an under-the-table nuclear deal with Iran. This would include disclosing Israeli war plans and cyberwarfare sources and methods to prevent a preemptory strike. Both the President and former Secretary of State Clinton should be forced to legally come clean about his serious breach of national security. While whistleblowers like Edward Snowden are held out to dry and prosecuted, higher ups are left alone to release classified national security information when it suits their political purposes."
