Opinion

I think this is an appropriate moment to review the nature of this Precinct Newsletter. For the majority of my career I can rightfully be called a “low-information voter”. My day consisted of eat, the hospital, the clinic, the hospital, home, eat and sleep. My political awakening came with my retirement 9 years ago. I started to write short editorials at first to organize my ideas. I worked with a retired Air Force serviceman in Cheyenne who read my copy and in return, I read his. This then, evolved into more defined goals for my precinct voters and readers in 25 states: a) to keep my Precinct Voters up-to-speed on key issues. b) To canvass the news at various levels in a manner most readers would not do with any regularity. c) To connect names & figures with their political activity (accountability). d) To unwind the misrepresentations and lies from the political sphere as much as I am able – knowing that I am not an investigative journalist. To wit: If the news reads wrong it’s not my fault! If the news is about YOU and YOU don’t think the news is truthful, you’d best call “foul” and make it read right! Slander and Defamation of Character are still workable accusations today. There are all kinds of ways to use the newsletter: Read the whole thing; read some of it; read titles and lead sentence of articles, or read sections and connect the dots (like Obama and Department of Defense). Yes, it is my selection of articles and yes, I am trying to paint pictures with other authors’ narrative. Validation comes from similar remarks from multiple sources. Yet another purpose is to provide thoughtful background material from sources like the Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, Heartland Institute and the Independence Institute. There is a huge amount of excellent literature from these major “think tanks”, much of which never reaches the cable news networks. 3 Permanent Lists:

a) The Obama Crisis-Espionage List b) The Hillary Clinton Expose. c) The Archive List.

Rotating Listings: a) Obama’s Scandal Sheet b) Republican Congress Win/Loss Score c) Timbers Readership.

3

The Scandal Sheet is a means of “keeping score” on Obama – by some, “the worst president in American History”. I have subdivided a growing list of “presidential indiscretions” by Unconstitutional, Corrupt or Illegal/stupid. Now I am not Constitutional scholar. You’ll have to think of these as categorical questions – not statements.

The Win/Loss Sheet is a Congressional Scorecard. We now have both a Republican House and Republican Senate. At the outset we were told “things will be different”. I remind readers that debate is not an accomplishment – any more than a Town hall meeting is successful legislation. Carly Fiorina said it right: Hillary Clinton’s world travels as Secretary of State was an “activity”, not an “accomplishment”. Only bills that pass both House & Senate and reach the president’s desk are accomplishments. This is perhaps the hardest list to categorize since it is a moving target. You’ll notice I don’t include political cartoons. Although cartoons are witty, the newsletter is not intended to be cute.

Another goal is to inspire voters to get involved. The quote from Plato was never truer: “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” 2016 is a turning point for America. The dynamics are sometimes hard to understand. I hope the newsletter sheds light on the importance of this year, our decisions, and the essential need for remediation in Washington. In closing, I am fascinated by the wisdom and engineering of the Constitution. There is no other document like it in history. I am proud to be an American. I love this country, its beauty and its culture. I am not about to let a few selfish individuals spoil it for personal gain. Join me in my effort. ~Editor

WHAT ALL AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON’S ALLEGED SAP COMPROMISE— MAJ ED COET, USA (RET) [COURTESY: CAPT Les Horn, USN (Ret)]

Note: Highlight by Author 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 names of each SAP are themselves classified Top Secret because the information within the SAP are 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’s 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 then 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)

6

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 unsecure sever like Hillary Clinton’s unsecure 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 unsecure 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

7

the tiniest role in this unbelievable security compromise. If the Attorney General, through “prosecutorial 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.

Open Letter to Mitch McConnell on SCOTUS Appointment and attached contribution request

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell You know, I just got an email from you, Majority Leader McConnell, asking me to sign a petition to stop Obama from making a Supreme Court nomination to replace Scalia. I did sign the petition, but immediately it pops up as being from the NRCC and asks me for a big contribution. I suppose that's payment to Congress, particularly the Senate, to get YOU to do what you are supposed to do. Something is mighty messed up in that process and approach. No, Senator, I'm not contributing to the NRCC in order to get you to do your duty and stop Obama from putting a slimy Liberal on the SCOTUS. That's your job. You stop him from doing it with all the power and money at your disposal--and with the majority WE gave you in the Senate THEN and only then is when you should ask me for a contribution for having DONE your duty. I fail to understand why you need contributions to stand firm against his appointment. You don't need it for a campaign add to stop him. You don't need to tour the nation to convince the nation he should be stopped. You KNOW she should be stopped, so just stand up to your majority as Majority Leader and convince them to stand by you. Stop Obama in his track on this. Filibuster just as he filibustered on the same subject. Draw it out. Get him out of office, then consider the replacement. Let it ride. A 4 to 4 vote by SCOTUS won't do us any damage. Standing up doesn't take money. That takes guts! You and your GOP/RINO compatriots need to earn those contributions. Thus far, you haven't. I don't like you never fulfilling promises and never doing the things that you should be doing, yet you want more and more contributions for doing nothing--even demanding them, once saying my "account was past due" for my contribution. Anyway, let's see what kinda guts you have on this, then I'll weigh a contribution.
