(145,321 posts)105. NBC News Rebuts Right-Wing Media Claim That Clinton Emails Reveal Names Of Undercover Operatives
These silly claims were debunked http://mediamatters.org/research/2016/02/04/nbc-news-rebuts-right-wing-media-claim-that-cli/208369
NBC News: "Contrary To" Schindler's Report, Three U.S. Officials Who Reviewed Emails Say No Email "Directly Revealed The Identity Of An Undercover Intelligence Operative." NBC News reported that "contrary to" Schindler's reporting, the emails in question do not "directly reveal" the identity of any undercover intelligence operative, but rather include "veiled references" that were later retroactively classified, according to three "U.S. officials who have reviewed them." Clinton herself reportedly "made no comment" in response to any of those emails, one of which reportedly originated with the CIA. From the February 4 article:
A handful of emails forwarded to Hillary Clinton's personal server while she was secretary of state contained references to undercover CIA officers -- including one who was killed by a suicide attack in Afghanistan, according to U.S. officials who have reviewed them.
But contrary to some published reports, three officials said there was no email on Clinton's server that directly revealed the identity of an undercover intelligence operative. Rather, they said, State Department and other officials attempted to make veiled references to intelligence officers in the emails -- references that were deemed classified when the messages were being reviewed years later for public release.
In one case, an official said, an undercover CIA officer was referred to as a State Department official with the word "State," in quotes, as if to suggest the emailer knew the officer was not actually a diplomat. In another case, an email refers to "OGA" for "other government agency," a common reference to the CIA. Yet another now-classified email chain originated with a member of the CIA director's staff, leading some officials to question how Clinton could be blamed....
The 2012 email wasn't the only one referencing a CIA officer or program, officials said. The references were indirect, and Clinton made no comment about them, the officials said.
