Hillary Clinton’s presidential hopes may have just ended…
The Washington Times reports former Secretary of State Clinton may have exposed North Korean nuclear missile intelligence in her unsecured, private email account.
The information includes data classified at a Top Secret level inside the Talent-Keyhole compartment. Talent-Keyhole (or TK) is one of the most sensitive compartments in the entire intelligence community (IC).
Disclosure of this information may result in “exceptionally grave damage” to U.S. national security.
From my years in the IC, I can say this: Even the most basic, entry-level intelligence analyst receives extensive training in the proper labeling, transmission, and storage of classified material. Top Secret, TK material is never to leave the confines of the IC’s most secure, encrypted network.
The government minces no words: Doing so would earn this same entry-level analyst a one-way ticket to (the U.S. penitentiary) Leavenworth…
The level of gall, guile, or gross incompetence required to breech these safety protocols is almost inconceivable. That it should happen at the highest levels of the government is disturbing…
Bottom line: Hillary Clinton won’t shake this one. Look for her to lose the Democratic presidential nomination. As to the investment implications of all this…
Remember, shopping trumps politics. It doesn’t matter who’s in the oval office. If you want to build substantial stock market wealth, buy (and hold) the best companies on earth when they present good valuations.
