EXCLUSIVE: Clapper’s Intel ‘Reforms’ Helped Rice ‘Unmask’ Americans

Posted By Richard Pollock On 8:51 PM 05/16/2017 In | No Comments

Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper’s creation of a cloud-computing platform in 2013 made it far easier for officials like former White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice to ‘unmask’ individual Americans without creating a digital paper trail leading back to her, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned.

Clapper’s system enabled tens of thousands of government officials to share previously off-limits intelligence information, according to knowledgeable officials who tracked the cloud-computing initiative of the former DNI under President Barack Obama.

Going to defend Clapper here. Shared information between services is better than information not shared - you'd think people would have learned that after the Boston bombing, if they were too slow for 9/11 to make the point to them.

Every access to every bit of information is still tracked, so people can't browse the information over their morning coffee - they have to log their access and have a damned good reason for doing so.

Is it perfect? No - there is no such thing as a perfect system.
Is it better than it was? Hell, yes.
