Hillary Clinton recklessly discussed, in emails hosted on her private server
, an Iranian nuclear scientist who was executed by Iran for treason, Sen.
Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said Sunday.
"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 revelation could cause further political damage to Clinton, who was
already on the defensive Sunday after commenting oddly last week that she
had "short-circuited" in a statement related to her honesty about the email
scandal.
Republican nominee Donald Trump seized on the statement to question her
mental stability.
Iran confirmed on Sunday that Amiri had been hanged for treason. He was
convicted of spying charges in a death sentence case that was upheld on
appeal, according to the Associated Press.
"This person who had access to the country's secret and classified
information had been linked to our hostile and No. 1 enemy, America, the
Great Satan" a spokesman for the Iranian judiciary said. "He provided the
enemy with vital and secret information of the country."
His body was returned to his mother with rope marks around the neck.
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.
Amiri disappeared while on a religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in 2009,
but he then resurfaced a year later in the U.S., where he visited the
Iranian interest section of the Pakistani embassy and demanded to be sent
home to Iran. While Amiri told reporters that he was held against his will
by both the Saudis and the Americans, U.S. officials said he was receiving
millions of dollars for information he provided about Iran's nuclear program.
The scientist shows up in Clinton's emails back in 2010, just nine days
before he returned to Iran.
"We have a diplomatic, 'psychological' issue, not a legal one. Our friend
has to be given a way out," the email by Richard Morningstar, a former State
Department special envoy for Eurasian energy, read, according to the
Associated Press. "Our person won't be able to do anything anyway. If he has
to leave so be it."
Cotton Sunday also accused the Obama administration of "working like a gun
cartel" by sending $400 million to Iran in what many regard as ransom for
hostages.

briefing，目的是怕万一现总统出意外，接任的人会措手不及。
