A friend sent me this text in an email. I would love to believe that that piece came from an actual retired military major who was in the know but I had to wonder if this is for real.

"WHAT ALL AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON'S
ALLEGED SAP COMPROMISE—MAJ. ED COET, USA (RET)
[COURTESY: CAPT Les Horn, USN (Ret)]
My name is Ed Coet. I
am a retired US Army Intelligence Officer.
In my last job in the army I was the Chief of the Human Intelligence
Branch for the US European Command in Stuttgart, Germany. In that capacity I was also the Designated
Program Manager for a Special Access Program (SAP) like the SAP that Hillary
Clinton is alleged to have compromised in the most recent State Department
Inspector General report to congress and which has been widely reported in the
news. Here is what I personally know
about SAP's and what I can attest to in an unclassified forum:
1. The names of each SAP are themselves classified Top
Secret because the information within the SAP are far and above Top Secret.
2. SAP's are so sensitive that even people who have security
clearances giving them access to Top Secret Sensitive Compartment Information
(TS SCI), an enormously high security clearance level, cannot have accesses to
a SAP's unless they receive a special indoctrination into the SAP based on an
operational "must know" that exceeds all other "need to
know" standards.
3. Being "read on" for a SAP is far more then
acknowledging in writing that you have been briefed on the SAP. It is an in-depth "indoctrination"
into the given SAP, and each SAP is itself compartmented separately from other
SAPS. Having access to one SAP does not
give you access to another SAP, and in fact rarely does. Only a tiny handful of people have knowledge
of all SAP's. SAP's are the most
stringently compartmented and protected information in the entire US
government.
4. Unlike Top Secret SCI which is maintained in highly
secure Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilitates (SCIF's) managed by
specially trained Special Security Officers (SSO's) at various levels of
command, every single SAP is managed by an individually designated Program
Manager for each individual SAP covering an entire theater of operations. In other words, SAP Program Managers are far
fewer in number than there is SSO's.
SSO's are not cleared to even know about SAP's or to maintain
information about them in their already enormously secure SCIF's. How SAP's are secured cannot be discussed
because of the sensitive beyond Top Secret nature in which it is done.
5. Unlike individuals with the highest Top Secret SCI access security clearances, who must undergo a special background information with periodic "bring-up" background investigation, those tiny few who have access to SAP's must also endure periodic polygraph tests in addition to the most comprehensive of special background investigations. I used to have to schedule four-star generals and admirals to be polygraphed in order for them to maintain their access to my SAP. Many generals and admirals who obviously have the highest security clearances still did not rate being indoctrinated into my SAP. In fact, they didn't even know the SAP existed.
6. Compromise of a SAP is the single most dangerous security
violation that can ever happen to the USA.
Even the enormously damaging revelations of the Edward Snowden's TOP
Secret SCI security compromise does not reach the level of a SAP compromise.
7. To put SAP information in to an unsecure sever like
Hillary Clinton's unsecure server is a class one felony that could, in some
cases, result in life in prison. That is
because such a compromise is so dangerous that it could and likely will result
in the death of people protected by and within the scope of the SAP.
As a former SAP Program Manager I believe it is inconceivable
that if it is verified that Hillary Clinton's server actually had SAP
information on it that she could possibly escape indictment and criminal
prosecution. As hard as it is to
imagine, that would even be worse then electing to not prosecute a mass
murdering serial killer because even they could not inflict as much damage on
our country as the compromise of a SAP. Compromise of a SAP not only could --
but without doubt would -- cause serious damage to our national security.
If it is true that Hillary Clinton had SAP information on
her unsecure server, whether it was marked or not, you can be sure that the FBI
will strongly recommend that charges be brought against Hillary Clinton and
continue in an exhaustive investigation to trace back to every single person
that had even the tiniest role in this unbelievable security compromise.
If the Attorney General, through "prosecutorial
discretion," elected not to prosecute this crime, I believe congress would
have no alternative but to impeach her, and the FBI would then have no choice
but to conduct a criminal investigation of her for a deliberate cover up -- so
grave is this security violation.
If President Obama were to pardon Hillary Clinton for a
compromise of this magnitude he would render himself in the historical record
as an "enemy of the state," and could himself face criminal
prosecution -- so grave is such a security compromise. Nobody, not even the POTUS could gets away
with something like this in our system of government.
If anyone could escape persecution for compromising a SAP,
we are in deep trouble as a nation. No
president who loves this country and is true to his oath would ever allow
anyone, not even his or her closest and most loved relative, to get away with a
SAP compromise. It is simply
unimaginable that this could ever happen.
If the ongoing investigation finds that Hillary Clinton
compromised a SAP, then we all should know with certainty, regardless of
political persuasion, that she is entirely unfit to hold public office of any
kind let alone President of the USA -- and ALL Americans should never tolerate
it. Compromising a SAP is an absolute
"disqualifier" for public office and access to our nations most
sensitive information - period.
ED COET
Major, US Army (Retired)
P.S. It is my sincere hope that each of you will share this
article, to help other Americans understand how grave Hillary Clinton's alleged
SAP compromise is. We can't allow anyone
so careless with this level of information to have access to any classified
information ever again for as long as she lives. This would surely render her unqualified and
unfit to hold any public office let alone POTUS if this allegation proves to be
true."

After reading that, being the perpetual cynic who am I, I did some checking on 'Major' Coet. I found some other things he has done but not much of anything on the so called fact or not sites that either support or debunk stuff like this that is going around on the Internet. Here, at the the below link, is one thing I did find referencing him:
It seems that this guy maybe is an agitator, that's okay with me as long as you are stirring the right pot and shaking up the right people and being truthful. Who knows if he is any of those? That is not to say he is not a retired major in the know. One can only hope, whether or not he actually is a retired major, that he got it right and she will be arrested, indicted and convicted. Hopefully that does not net Bernie the presidency.
Hat tip to Herr Rich M for sending me that piece in an email.
All the best,
Glenn B
