UPDATE:
Former Navy SEAL and former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince comments on Shahram Amiri’s execution:
When he went back to Iran, there was no talk of him being executed. Once her emails were released, he was executed. What does it mean? It means, once again, America does not take care of the people that help America. This guy was a treasure trove of information on the Iranian nuclear program. He’s dead.
ORIGINAL POST:
Hillary Clinton’s lack of discretion knows no bounds. Sen. Tom Cotton said the Democratic nominee discussed details about Shahram Amiri, an Iranian nuclear scientist who’d given the United States secret information about their nuclear program.
In 2010, nine days before he returned to his home country, Clinton discuss details about him in her unsecured emails. After he arrived back home, he was given a hero’s welcome. Then, he was hanged for treason.
“I’m not going to comment on what he may or may not have done for the United States government, but in the emails that were on Hillary Clinton’s private server, there were conversations among her senior advisors about this gentleman,” he said on “Face the Nation.” Cotton was speaking about Shahram Amiri, who gave information to the U.S. about Iran’s nuclear program.
The senator said this lapse proves she is not capable of keeping the country safe.
“That goes to show just how reckless and careless her decision was to put that kind of highly classified information on a private server. And I think her judgment is not suited to keep this country safe,” he said.
The Washington Examiner noted, “It would appear possible that discussion on an unclassified — and quite possibly hacked — email system about a person who was hanged as a spy will have a chilling effect on others who might want to engage in espionage for the United States.”
In deed. Then, the Examiner provided a gruesome and sobering detail. Apparently, his body still had rope marks around his neck when the Iranian officials returned his corpse to his mother.
