The Clinton family has found themselves in so many scandals that you can’t count them all on two hands.
And Chelsea just racked up a new one to add to her family’s “legacy.”
But this one could be major enough to bring down her whole family.
Following in her mother’s footsteps, Chelsea Clinton is alleged to have put national security at risk in order to hook her “best friend” up with $11 million dollars in defense contracts.
And her friend didn’t even have to get a security clearance. Jacqueline Newmyer is the president of a company called the Long Term Strategy Group, who has for over ten years received a number of Defense contracts from a secretive think tank called Office of Net Assessment.
Over that ten-year period of receiving $11 million in contracts, it has come out they have only now started the process of gaining a security clearance from the Office of Net Assessment.
That means they never operated in a secure room to handle classified information, according to the Defense Security Service, which is in charge of approving secure rooms inside private sector firms.
As reported by The Daily Caller:
“A company whose president is “best friends” with Chelsea Clinton received more than $11 million in contracts over the last decade from a highly secretive Department of Defense think tank, but to date, the group lacks official federal approval to handle classified materials, according to sensitive documents TheDCNF was allowed to review.
Jacqueline Newmyer, the president of a company called the Long Term Strategy Group, has over the last 10 years received numerous Defense Department contracts from a secretive think tank called Office of Net Assessment.
The Office of Net Assessment is so sensitive, the specialized think tank is housed in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and reports directly to the secretary.
To date, the Long Term Strategy Group has received $11.2 million in contracts, according to USAspending,gov, a government database of federal contracts.
But after winning a decade of contracts from the Office of Net Assessment, the federal agency is only now in the process of granting clearance to the company. Long Term Strategy Group never operated a secure room on their premises to handle classified materials, according to the Defense Security Service, a federal agency that approves secure rooms inside private sector firms. Long Term Strategy Group operates offices in Washington, D.C., and Cambridge, Mass.”
But the mishandling of classified information isn’t even the biggest part of this scandal.
The company’s President Jacqueline Newmyer is the “best friend” of Chelsea Clinton, at least according to Chelsea.
They have known each other for years, since meeting while in a private school in Washington D.C., where they became such good friends that they were in each other’s weddings.
And new emails that have come out show Chelsea’s mom, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, actively working to secure Defense Department clearance for Newmyer, whose group did not have a security clearance.
Hillary worked so hard to help her daughter’s best friend that she got her in contact with people in the highest levels of the Obama administration.
The fact that Newmyer’s group did not have a security clearance at the time, and got help from Hillary Clinton to gain Defense contracts is very troubling.
Many are speculating that it is simply more Clinton cronyism.
