WHAT ALL AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON’S ALLEGED SAP COMPROMISE--MAJ ED COET, USA (RET)
[COURTESY: CAPT Les Horn, USN (Ret)]
<<<<
My name is Ed Coet. I am a retired US Army Intelligence Officer. In my
last job in the army I was the Chief of the Human Intelligence Branch
for the US European Command in Stuttgart, Germany. In that capacity I
was also the Designated Program Manager for a Special Access Program
(SAP) like the SAP that Hillary Clinton is alleged to have compromised
in the most recent State Department Inspector General report to Congress
and which has been widely reported in the news. Here is what I
personally know about SAP’s and what I can attest to in an unclassified
forum:
1. The name of each SAP is itself classified Top Secret because the information within the SAP is far and above Top Secret.
2.
SAP’s are so sensitive that even people who have security clearances
giving them access to Top Secret Sensitive Compartment Information (TS
SCI), an enormously high security clearance level, cannot have accesses
to a SAP unless they receive a special indoctrination into the SAP based
on an operational “must know” that exceeds all other “need to know”
standards.
3.
Being “read on” for a SAP is far more than acknowledging in writing
that you have been briefed on the SAP. It is an in-depth
“indoctrination” into the given SAP, and each SAP is itself
compartmented separately from other SAPS. Having access to one SAP does
not give you access to another SAP, and in fact rarely does. Only a tiny
handful of people have knowledge of all SAP’s. SAP’s are the most
stringently compartmented and protected information in the entire US
government.
4.
Unlike Top Secret SCI which is maintained in highly secure Sensitive
Compartmented Information Facilitates (SCIF’s) managed by specially
trained Special Security Officers (SSO’s) at various levels of command,
every single SAP is managed by an individually designated Program
Manager for each individual SAP covering an entire theater of
operations. In other words, SAP Program Managers are far fewer in number
than there is SSO’s. SSO’s are not cleared to even know about SAP’s or
to maintain information about them in their already enormously secure
SCIF’s. How SAP’s are secured cannot be discussed because of the
sensitive beyond Top Secret nature in which it is done.
5.
Unlike individuals with the highest Top Secret SCI access security
clearances, who must undergo a special background information with
periodic “bring-up” background investigation, those tiny few who have
access to SAP’s must also endure periodic polygraph tests in addition to
the most comprehensive of special background investigations. I used to
have to schedule four-star generals and admirals to be polygraphed in
order for them to maintain their access to my SAP. Many generals and
admirals who obviously have the highest security clearances still did
not rate being indoctrinated into my SAP. In fact, they didn’t even know
the SAP existed.
6.
Compromise of a SAP is the single most dangerous security violation
that can ever happen to the USA. Even the enormously damaging
revelations of the Edward Snowden’s TOP Secret SCI security compromise
does not reach the level of a SAP compromise.
7.
To put SAP information in to an unsecured sever like Hillary Clinton’s
unsecured server is a class one felony that could, in some cases, result
in life in prison. That is because such a compromise is so dangerous
that it could and likely will result in the death of people protected by
and within the scope of the SAP.
As
a former SAP Program Manager I believe it is inconceivable that if it
is verified that Hillary Clinton’s server actually had SAP information
on it that she could possibly escape indictment and criminal
prosecution. As hard as it is to imagine, that would even be worse than
electing to not prosecute a mass murdering serial killer because even
they could not inflict as much damage on our country as the compromise
of a SAP. Compromise of a SAP not only could -- but without doubt would
-- cause serious damage to our national security.
If
it is true that Hillary Clinton had SAP information on her unsecured
server, whether it was marked or not, you can be sure that the FBI will
strongly recommend that charges be brought against Hillary Clinton and
continue in an exhaustive investigation to trace back to every single
person that had even the tiniest role in this unbelievable security
compromise.
If
the Attorney General, through “proprietorial discretion,” elected not
to prosecute this crime, I believe congress would have no alternative
but to impeach her, and the FBI would then have no choice but to conduct
a criminal investigation of her for a deliberate cover up –- so grave
is this security violation.
If
President Obama were to pardon Hillary Clinton for a compromise of this
magnitude he would render himself in the historical record as an “enemy
of the state,” and could himself face criminal prosecution –- so grave
is such a security compromise. Nobody, not even the POTUS could get away
with something like this in our system of government. If anyone could
escape persecution for compromising a SAP, we are deep trouble as a
nation. No president who loves this country and is true to his oath
would ever allow anyone, not even his or her closest and most loved
relative, to get away with a SAP compromise. It is simply unimaginable
that this could ever happen.
If
the ongoing investigation finds that Hillary Clinton compromised a SAP,
then we all should know with certainty, regardless of political
persuasion, that she is entirely unfit to hold public office of any kind
let alone President of the USA -- and ALL Americans should never
tolerate it. Compromising a SAP is an absolute “disqualifier” for public
office and access to our nation’s most sensitive information - period.

P.S.
It is my sincere hope that each of you will share this article, to help
other Americans understand how grave Hillary Clinton’s alleged SAP
compromise is. We can’t allow anyone so careless with this level of
information to have access to any classified information ever again for
as long as she lives. This would surely render her unqualified and unfit
to hold any public office let alone POTUS if this allegation proves to
be true.
