Hillary Clinton appeared to have revealed at least some sensitive information about the country’s national security when attacking Donald Trump at the final debate Wednesday night over whether he should be trusted with nation’s nuclear codes.

Retired Army Lt. General Keith Kellogg, who worked for the Joint Chiefs of Staff as director for all communications for U.S. forces and now advises the Trump campaign, responded to Clinton’s attack telling The Daily Caller Wednesday evening, “It is foolish to talk about any nuclear command control timing decision.”

He explained, “It is just not done, because you just don’t give up any indications of what your windows are for decision-making—especially when it comes to nuclear command and control. You hear her say it and it’s almost cavalier. It just corresponds to me to her cavalier approach to security in general from having an unsecured server in the basement in her home with a comment like that. It’s like ‘security’s not that important.’ It’s crazy. It’s incredibly foolish for someone to do something like that.”

However, intelligence experts and a former Navy SEAL told Fox News that just because the response time was previously reported in academic documents does not allow government officials holding security clearance or who had previous access to classified information to discuss it in a public forum.

"Whether the four minutes is accurate or not, anything having to do with response capability is generally classified," Dan Maguire, a former strategic planner with Africom, and with 46 years combined service, told Fox News. "She has a tendency to use previous access and her position as secretary (of state) to give an appearance of knowledge to show she has the answers, rather than protect the information."

Why (WHY) are they protecting her here?  Cheering her on?

This Man Did What Hillary Did With Classified Information, And He’s In Jail

Police executed a warrant to search Harold Martin's home for classified documents, which was not an 'authorized location' for their storage. Sound familiar?

Hillary Clinton Got Special Treatment

The documents found in Martin’s home were currently and properly classified top secret according to an “original classification authority.” Clinton’s emails are also currently classified Top Secret according to an original classification authority, and that is the reason the State Department is currently refusing to release some of them.

Sorry if I don't get too worked up over this one. I'm sure our enemies have had a reasonable idea of our response times for decades.

Given the current threat today, I wouldn't be surprised if we have units on 15 minute alert status now.

Be specific? Are you crazy? Currently, we're at DEFCON 4, a low status. However, when Incirlik AB was surrounded, our military was put on higher alert.

There are strategic military bases that normally have some units ready to deploy within hours, and air bases that are required to have jets/bombers in the air within 15 minutes or less.

So the threat you're worried about comes from our NATO ally Turkey, and I'm the one who is characterized as crazy?  :pondering:

No one here is protecting Hillary, stop saying that.


How many more times are you going to continue to post the same information under a different title?

You've already been warned about spamming.

Aww give Happy a break, he/she/it is just practicing the Gobbles method of propaganda.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

Just a head's up about the article.

Keith Kellogg retired from the Army as the director of command, control, communications and computers for U.S. forces under the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

He was not director for all communications for U.S. forces.

Just for those troops assigned to serve at the JCS.  In other words, for the forces assigned to the Pentagon.

Additionally, he never served in any nuclear capacity.  So he would not know the procedures for what is predominantly an Air Force and Navy field.
