oe Biden’s keeping of classified documents in a garage at his private residence is a new chapter in a book on how to mishandle the U.S.’s most sensitive secrets that was authored by the Clinton empire.
Bill Clinton’s CIA Director, John Deutch, wrote the first chapter in the Clinton classified chronicles.
Deutch was Clinton’s chief of the CIA between May 1995 and December 1996. After he left the spy agency, classified information was discovered on the government-owned laptop he was using at his home.
Deutch had “stored large amounts of sensitive intelligence on the laptop designated for the storage of only unclassified information,” Mark Hyman noted in a Jan. 14 substack.com analysis.
“Moreover, the laptop was connected to a modem, which made all of the information vulnerable to exploitation by hostile governments. “As the former DCI, Deutch would have been a high priority target for exploitation by hostile governments, including Russia, China and North Korea, and terrorist organizations. Mishandling of classified information is a serious breach of security for persons working with such information.”
An investigation by the Department of Justice confirmed that Deutch knowingly mishandled classified information.
In April 1999, Attorney General Janet Reno declined to pursue criminal charges against him.
