Top prosecutor: New Hillary revelations are 'very telling'
'They fear there are other copies of these emails out there'
Published: 11 hours ago
Just three days before the first votes are cast in the 2016 presidential campaign, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is on defense again after the State Department refused to release 22 emails kept on her unsecured server because they contain highly sensitive information.
State Department sources says the 37 pages of emails contain Special Access Program information, some of the most closely guarded secrets in U.S. government.
“This is very telling,” said former U.S. Attorney Andrew C. McCarthy, who is now with National Review and is author most recently of “Faithless Execution: Building the Political Case for Obama’s Impeachment.”

McCarthy told WND and Radio America this doesn’t radically change the scope of the FBI investigation into Clinton’s server since it’s already known that more than 1,300 emails contained classified information and have been released with the sensitive parts redacted. Still, he believes this highlights the seriousness of Clinton’s actions.
“With respect to these 22 (emails), there is actually a blanket prohibition on disclosure and the reason is that they fear there are other copies of these emails out there,” McCarthy said.
“If they release any part of them, whoever may have those emails will have it confirmed to them that you’re dealing with a Special Access Program national security intelligence matter,” he said.

He said tipping anyone off to such information could have horrific consequences.
“When that kind of stuff gets revealed and people work backward or go to school on the information that’s out there, that can result not only in the compromise of important sources of intelligence but also potentially in the killing of people who are spies or covert informants,” McCarthy said.
