Moss and Zaid: I refer to our letter dated October 30, 2015, regarding the release of certain Department of State material under the Freedom of Information Act (the "FOIA"), 5 U.S.C. §552. The search and review of the records of the Office of Information Programs and Services is ongoing. The review of more than 4,800 pages of material has resulted in the retrieval of 762 documents responsive to your request. After reviewing these documents, we have determined that 5 may be released in full and 757 may be released with excisions. An enclosure explains the FOIA exemptions and other grounds for withholding material. Where we have made excisions, the applicable exemptions are marked on each document. In some cases, two or more exemptions may apply to the same document. All non-exempt material that is reasonably segregable from the exempt material has been released. We will keep you informed as your case progresses. If you have any questions, please have your counsel contact Trial Attorney Stephen Elliott at 202-3058177, or Stephen.Elliott@usdoj.gov.

First, on the UN agency that had sent computer shipments to NK, Iran. The agency, WIPO, has put out a statement saying it's pursuing an "independent" probe. Is this the kind of independent probe the State Department wanted? Or does this not satisfy the concerns? Release is here: http://www.wipo.int/oressroom/en/articles/2012/article 0016.html Second. Has State heard anything about the status of Dr. Shakil Afridi's appeals hearing in Pakistan? I had been told that the hearing was delayed indefinitely, wanted to see if State could confirm. And if State had any comment on this. Thank you!

Hi Philippe, C Iwrote: 86 ·-----------~ So now that we're back, I'm wondering when you think we can pfo down a time for the sit-down in Washington? Now that I've gotten further into the story and based on your feedback, I'm planning to go with more general questions.· Here's my current thinking: 1) Discuss her role and experience advocating for some U.S. companies (For example, Boeing). 2) Discuss coming into the administration during economic crisis, and how that informed her thinking about the role that she would play in the administration. 3) Discuss how this relates to her own history. Advocating for New York companies in the Senate. 4) Discuss TPP and the limitations and possibilities for leveling .the playing field for US companies to compete in emerging markets. What barometer does she think economic statecraft should be held up to? 4) Discuss economic statecraft as a management question. How to change the culture of a large bureaucracy. Happy to talk through any of these as well. Obviously, there's lots of uncqntrollable factors on the trip that prevented us from accomplishing anything more than a short meet.and greet. I'm therefore really counting on the interview in Washington to take place as soon as possible, so I can have my story ready to go to press this sunimer. I'm very excited about the story, and want to thank you again all your help in getting me to Burma. Looking forward to hearing from you ..

Story is now leading POLITICO http://www.politico.c om/news/stories/07 12/78720.html Anthony Weiner: 'Nothing Huma can't do' /" By: Jonathan Allen July 19, 2012 lQ:lS AM EDT ·!=~LEASE IN PARTl -- -··---·- The Huma Abedin fan club is gr9wing - fast. There's John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Ed Rollins, Republicans who leapt to the defense of Hillary Clinton's top State Department confidante when Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) suggested that she just might be a traitor. There's a Facebook group of folks who "stand with Huma." (PHOTOS: Huma Abedin) And there are countless women aQd men around the country who thought she handled her husband Anthony Weiner's Twitter malfunction with all the grace and elegance that he lacked. Abedin's finding out an enduring t ruth of Washington politics: Yesterday's victim is tomorrow's hero. Some Democrats are whispering that it might be A~edin, not Weiner, who has a future in elective politics. "There's nothing Huma can't do," Weiner said in an e-mail Thursday morning. State Department spokesman Philippe Reines said he'd give "points for creativity" on the question of whether she might run for office when she's done at State. Few outside of the political world had heard of Abedin before Weiner tweeted a lewd photo of his crotch, lied to the country about his online inte,ractions with a series of women, and finally resigned his House seat under pressure from Democratic leaders following his confession . .· (PHOTOS: 8 times Weiner lied about lewd pies) But her political stature had been on the rise for years. Now a deputy chief of staff at the State Department, Abed in began workiflg for the Clintons in 1996, served as Hillary Clinton's body woman during the 2008 presidential primary and is as close to the secretary of State - both metaphorically and physically - as anyone. Her big public coming-out moment: A 2007 Vogue profile that portrayed her as Clinton's protege. "Abedin has the energy of a woman in her 20s, the confidence of a woman ·in her 30s, the experience of a woman in her 40s, and the grace of a woman in her 50s," Hillary Clinton told Vogue'. "She is timeless, her combination of poise, kindness, and intelligence are matchless." In 2010, the same year she married Weiner, Time listed her as a civic leader under 40 to watch. 1 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868085 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 8 O8 5FIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868085 Date: 11/24/2015 Adding to the intrigue surrounding the newlywed power couple: Abedin was pregnant with the couple's first child when the scandal broke a little more thari a year ago. Combined, that was enough for Abedin to develop a bit of a cult following among liberal women, particularly Hillary Clinton fans. She s~ayed with her man, but she didn't stand by him - at least not literally. Abedin proved loyal but independent, parting from so many political wives .who have appeared on stage as their husbands delivered tearful televised apologies in what has become a modern cleansing ritual for unfaithful officials who hope their constituents will forgive them. Forbes Magazine gushed last June that she was "anything but the 'good 'wife."' Instead, she has continued to steadily build her own profile over the past year - and tried to.reshape her husband's reputation at the same time. "It took a lot of work to get to where are are today, but I want people to know we're a normal family," she told People magazine for a feature running in this week's iss·ue. "Anthony has spent every day since [the scandal) trying to be the best dad and husband he can be ... I'm proud to be married to him." . . There was no shortage of outrage over Weiner's spectacular flame-out, even within her own tight circles. Hillary and Bill Clinton, who see Abedin as an extension of their family, were said to be furious about the scandal. She has been a fixture in Hillary-land since the tail end of Bill Clinton's presidency. Another torrent of outrage fl.owed this week after Bachmann and four colleagues demanded the State Department's inspector general open an investigation into whether foreign policy decisions are being made as the result of an "influence operations" by the Muslim Brotherhood. In the letter, the lawmakers accused members of her family, including her dead father, of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and noted that Abedin has "routine access" to Clinton and influence in the policy process. . ' . Similar letters were sent to inspectors general at the .departments of Defense, Justice, Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Abedin, born in Michigan but raised in the Middle East, is Muslim. Weiner is Jewish. McCain; the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, went to the Senate floor Wednesday to denounce his House GOP colleagues. "These allegations about Hum a, and the report from which they are drawn, are nothing less.than an unwarranted and unfounded att.ack on an honorable woman, a dedicated American, and a loyal public servant," he said. Rollins, a veteran GOP political operative and the onetime manager of Bachmann's failed presidential campaign, let loose in ari opinion piece on the FOX News Website. "I am fully aware that she sometimes has difficulty with her facts, but this is downright vicious and reaches the late Senator Joe McCarthy level," the wrote, referring to the Red-baiting Wisconsin senator who charged that the Pentagon, the State Department and Hollywood were full of communists. "As a member of Congress,. with a seat on the House Intelligence Committee, Mrs. Bachmann you know better. Shame on you, Michele! You should stand on the floor of the House and apologize to Huma A~edin and to Secretary Clinton and to the millions of hard working,loyal, Muslim Americans for your wild and u11substantiated charges," he wrote. "As a devoted Christian, you need to ask forgiveness for this grievous lack of judgment and reckless behavior." 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868085 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 8 O8 5 =1ED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-201.2-36691 Doc No. C05868085 Date: 11/24/2015 Graham told POLITICO Huddle on Thursday that he has traveled the world with Abedin and calls the attacks on her.. "ridiculous." "The person saying it has no idea what they're saying because they'vf? never met her," Graham sa id. "She is about as far away from the Muslim Brotherhood view of women and ideology as you possibly could get. She's a very modern woman in every sense of the word, and people who say these things are really doing. her a disservice because they don't know what they're talking about, and I don't know what their motivations are, but clearly it says more about them than it does her." A senior House Republican who spoke to POLITICO under the condition of anonymity to speak freely about a GOP colleague added this: "This is ridiculous and extraordinarily petty. Clinton is the most p_ro-lsrael member of this administration. Clearly, this is another dumb idea from Michele." And that's just the fire from the friendly side. A new Facebook page, called "I stand with Huma," sprung up in response to the letter. "Hmmmm ... Huma or Bachmann???? Hmmmmm .... Bachmann doesn't have a fraction of the character, intellect and grace of Huma Abedin," longtime Democratic strategist Burns Strider wrote on the page. "Give me a break." · Reines called the allegations in t he.fetter "nothing but vicious and disgusting lies," in a statement released to news outlets. Bachmann said the letters, which were also signed by Republican Reps. Louie Gohmert (Texas), Tom Rooney (Florida), Trent Franks (Arizona) and Lynn Westmoreland (Georgia), are "being distorted." "The intention of the letters was to outline the serio.us national security concerns I had and ask for answers to questions regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical group's access to top Obama administration officials," she wrote in a statement posted on her Website. "I will not be silent as this administration appeases our enemies instead of telling the truth about the threats our country faces." Bachmann, a favorite of the Tea Party, angered liberals during the 2008 campaign when she called on Congress to investigate "anti-American " lawmakers. The upshot: Abedin has become an instant cause celebre for the left and an instrument for Bachmann's Republican critics. Travis Worl, who worked with Abedin on Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, started the "I stand with Huma" Facebook page to illustrate the contrast he sees between the two women. "I wanted both Huma and Rep. Bachmann to know that I and the nearly 1,100 others who have joined the group so far, stand with Huma aga inst Bachmann's bullying tactics," he told POLITICO. © 2012 POLITICO LLC -----Original Message----From : Reines, Philippe I [mailto:reinesp@state.gov] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 8:35 AM To: Jonathan Allen Subject: Re: Abedin story 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868085 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 8 O8 5 IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868085 Date: 11/24/2015 Can't wait to see Call Lindsay Graham, I hear he has some colorful things to say.

"Recently, it has been alleged that H~ma, a Muslim American, is part of a nefarious conspiracy to harm the United States by unduly influencing l}S foreign policy at the I)epartment of State in · favor of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist causes," he said. Five members of Congress, including Minnesota congresswoman Bachmann, wrote a letter to the deputy inspector general of the State Department alleging the conspiracy and demanding a probe. "These allegations about Huma, and the report from which they are drawn, are nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman, a dedicateq American, and a loyal public servant," McCain said. He went on to shoot down the accusations, explaining that one member of Abedin's fami ly allegeq to be part the conspiracy, her father, had actually passed away two decades ago . .. "These sinister accusations rest solely on a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations of members ofHuma's family, none of which have been shown to harm or threaten the United States in any way," McCain said. "These attacks on Huma have no logic, no basis, and no merit. And they ·need to stop now." Abedin came under the spotlight last year when her husband, New York congressman Anthony Weiner, resigned after sending lewd online messages and photographs on his cell phone and then lying about it. The United States voiced caution last month after the Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi was crowned Egypt's new president, urging the Islamist leader to respect the rights of women and keep the peace with Israel. The Muslim Brotherhood is an lslamist political movement founded in Egypt in 1928 and a . staunch opponent of several Middle East governments that enjoyed US backing, notably Israel and the formerly secular regimes in Egypt and ·Turiisia. ag/dc US-POLITICS-MCCAIN-EGYPT-BROTHERHOOD-ISLAM - 07/18/2012 18:59 - AFP Service: World News (ANA) 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868093 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 8 O9 4 IFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868094 Date: 11/24/2015 Virkar, Pooja From: Sent: To: Subject: 1m C .....___ ______,] Dougherty.

SUSAN DAVIS 86 /' STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN ON HUMA ABEDIN , Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today delivered the following remarks on the floor of the U.S. Senate in defense of Huma Abedin: UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868107 Date: 11/24/2015 c O5 8 6 81O7 IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868107 Date: 11/24/2015 "Mr. President: Rarely do I come to the floor of this institution to discuss particular individuals. But I understand how painful and injurious it is when a person's character, reputation, and patriotism are attacked without concern for fact or fairness. It is for that reason that I rise today to speak in defense of Huma Abed in. "Over the past decade, I have had the pleasure of coming to know Hwna during her long. and dedicated service to Hillary Rodharn Clinton, both in the United States Senate and now in the Department of State. I know Huma to be an intelligent, upstanding, hard-working, and loyal servant of our country and O\µ' government, who has devoted countless days of her life to advancing the ideals of the nation she loves and looking after its most precious interests. That she has done so while maintaining her characteristic decency, warmth, and good humor is a testament to her ability to bear even the most arduous duties with poise and COI).fid~nce . "Put simply, Huma represents what is best about America: the daughter of immigrants, who has risen to the highest levels of our government on the basis of her substantial personal merit and her abiding commitment to the American ideals that she embo.dies so fully. I am proud to know Huma, and to call her my friend. "Recently, it has been alleged that Huma, a Muslim American, is part of a nefarious conspiracy to harm the United States by unduly influencing U.S. foreign policy at the Department of State in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islarnist causes. On June 13, five members of Congress wrote to the Deputy Inspector General of the Department of State, demanding that he begin an investigation into the possibility that Huma and other American officials are using their influence to promote the cause of the Muslim Brotherhood within the. U.S. government. The information offered to support these serious allegations is based on a report, 'The Muslim Brotherhood in America,' produced by the Center for Security Policy. "To say that the accusations made in both documents are not substantiated by the evidence they offer is to be overly polite and diplomatic about it. It is far better, and more accurate, to talk straight: These allegations about Huma, and the report from which they are drawn, are nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman, a dedicated American, and a loyal public servant. "The letter alleges that three members of Huma's family are 'connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations.' Never mind that one of those individuals, Huma's father, passed away two decades ago. The letter and the report offer not one instance of an action, a decision, or a public position that Huma has taken while at the State Department that would lend credence to the charge that she is promoting anti-American activities within our government. Nor does either document offer any evidence of a direct impact that Huma may have had on one of the U.S. policies with which the authors of the letter and the producers of the report find fault. These sinister accusations rest solely on a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations of members of Huma's family, none of which have been shown to harm or threaten the United States in any way. These attacks on Huma have no logic, no basis, and no merit. And they need to stop now. "Ultimately, what is at stake in this matter is larger even than the reputation of one person. This is about who we are as a nation, and who we still aspire to be. What makes America exceptional among the countries of the world is that we are bound together as citizens not by blood or class, not by sect or ethnicity, but by a set of enduring, universal, and equal rights that are the foundation of our constitution, our laws, our citizenry, and our identity. When anyone, not least a member of Congress, launches specious and degrading attacks against fellow Americans on the basis of nothing more than fear of who they are and ignorance of what they stand for, it defames the spirit of our nation, and w.e all grow poorer because of it. "Our reputations, our character, are the only things we leave behind when we depart this earth, and unjust attacks that malign the good name of a decent and honorable person is not only wrong; it is contrary to everything we hold dear as Americans. 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868107 Date: 11/24/2015 C058 68107FIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868107 Date: 11/24/2015 "Some years ago, I had the pleasure, along with my friend, the Senator from South Carolina, Senator Lindsey Graham, of traveling oyerseas with our colieague, then-Senator Hillary Clinton. By her side, as always, was Huma, and I had the pleasure of seeing firsthand her hard work and dedicated service on behalf of the former r Senator from New York - a service that continues to this d~y at the Department of State, and bears with it significant personal sacrifice for Hwna. "I have every confidence in Huma 's loyalty to our country, and everyone else should as well. All Americans owe Huma a debt of gratitude for her many years of superior public service. I hope these ugly and unfortunate attacks on her can be immediately ~rought to an end and put behind us before any further damage is done to a woman, an American, of genuine patriotism and love of country." ### 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868107 Date: 11/24/2015 C05868108=1ED U.S.DepartmentofState CaseNo.F-2012-36691 DocNo. C05868108 Date:11/24/2015 Virkar, Pooja I -- ·--- --·-- ~ - From:· Sent: Arons, Melinda Wednesday, July To: Adler, Caroline E; Reines, Philippe I Subject: helloooo!!! 86 , 2012 1:441'- · Any more guidance re Africa?

Michele Bachmann (R-M inn.), apparently in need of some attention, has launched some sort of paranoid inquiry into whether the U.S. Congress has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. Some weeks ago, Bachmann sought the assistance of inspectqr generals in the State, Homeland Security, Defense and Justice Departments, asking them to investigate potential "policies and activities that appear to be the result of influence operations conducted by individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim· Brotherhood." "It appears that there has been deep penetration in the halls of our United States government by the Muslim Brotherhood," Bachmann told radio host Sandy Rios in June. "It appears that there are individuals who are associated with the Muslim Brotherhood who have positions, very sensitive positions, in our Department of Justice, our Department of Homeland Security, potentially even in the National Intelligence Agency." Practicing Muslim and fellow Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) didn't take to kindly to Bachmann's insinuations, and sent her a letter asking her to provide him with "a full accounting of the sources you used to make the serious allegations against the individuals and organizations in your letters." He ~lso warned her that there had better be "credible, substantial evidence" for her claims. Well, today, Bachmann responded to Ellison with 16 pages worth of "evidence" implicating the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, to whom President George W. Bush created a "special envoy" position in 2008, and advocacy groups like the Islamic Society of North America and the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Bachmann doesn't make clear what evidence connects these latter groups to "infiltration" -- their mere existence seems · sufficient to warrant her paranoia. But by the far the strangest claim of "infiltration" that she cites is the one she leads off her letter with: longtime Hillary Clinton aide-de-camp Huma Abedin. In her letter, Bachmann tells Ellison that she is concerned about Abedin's familial connections to the Brotherhood, and raises concerns over her security clearance. As Alex Seitz-Wald reports for'Salon : As evidence, she pointed to Abedin's late father, Professor Syed Z. Abedin, and a 2002 Brigham Young University Law Review article about his work. Bachmann points to a passage saying Abedin founded an organization that received the "quiet but active support" of the the former director of the Muslim World league, an international NGO that was tied to the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe in the 1970s through 1990s. So, to connect Abedin to the Muslim Brotherhood, you have to go through her dead father, to the organization he founded, to a man who allegedly supported it, to the organization that man used to lead, to Europe in the 1970s and 1990s, and finally to the Brotherhood. And from there, all connections lead to the obvious Islamofascist puppetmaster: Kevin Bacon, star of Footloose. 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868109 Date: 11/24/2015 -· CO 5 8 6 81O9 IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868109 Date: 11/24/2015 Seitz-Wald goes on to point out what would normally be a sticky logical problem for this conspiracy fantasy: . Abedin is the wife of Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former congressman from New York who is well-known for being one of the most relentlessly pro-Israel politicians in America. But if you recall, the sharia-paranoiacs · have an answer for that, too. (It involves the wild notfon that Muslim infiltrators positioned Abedin into her marriage to Weiner, or that Weiner himself is a secret Muslim, depending on the directiop. the wind is blowing that day.) At any rate, if the Muslim Brotherhood wanted to infiltrate Congress, why wouldn't they do it the.way everyone else does -- cut huge campaign checks and get their lobbyists to offer legislators lavish rewards for writing legislation?

SUSAN DAVIS Chief Congresslonol Reporter, USA Todoy jREVIEW AUTHORITY: Barbara Nielsen, ~eEJor Reviewer [ LJ STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN ON HUMA ABEDIN Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today delivered the following remarks on the floor of the U.S. Senate in defense ofHuma Abedirr "Mr. President: Rarely do I come to the floor of this institution to discuss particular individuals. But I understand how painful and injurious it is when a person's character, reputation, and patriotism are attacked without concern for fact or fairness. It is for that reason that I rise today to speak in defense of !'luma Abedin. "Over tqe past decade, I have had the pleasure of coming to know Huma during her long and dedicated service to Hillary Rodham Clinton, both in the United States Senate and now in the Department of State. I know Huma to be an intelligent, upstanding, hard-working, and loyal servant of our country and our goverrunent, who has devoted countless days of her life to advancing the ideals of the nation she loves and looking after its most precious interests. That she has done so while maintaining her characteristic decency, warmth, and good humor is a testament to her ability to bear even the most arduous duties with poise and confidence. "Put simply, Huma represents what is best about America: the daughter of immigrants, who ·has risen to the highest levels of our government on the basis of her substantial personal merit and her abiding commitment to the American ideals that she embodies so fully. I am proud to know Huma, and to call her my friend. "Recently, it has been alleged that Huma, a Muslim American, is part of a nefarious conspiracy to harm the United States by unduly influencing U.S. foreign policy at the Department of State in favor of the Mtislim Brotherhood and other Islamist causes. On June 13, five members of Congress wrote to the Deputy Inspector General of the Department of State; demanding that he begin an iqvestigation into the possibility that Huma and other American officials are using their influence to promote the cause of the Muslim Brotherhood w ithin the U.S. government. The information offered to support these serious allegations is based on a report, 'The Muslim Brotherhood in America,' produced by the Center for Security Policy. "To say that the accusations made in both documents are not substantiated by the evidence they offer is to be overly polite and diplomatic about it. It is far better, and more accurate, to talk straight: These allegations about l UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C058681 17 Date: 11/24/2015 C 0 5 8 6 811 r1ED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868117 Date: 11/24/2015 Huma, and the report from which they are drawn, are nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman, a dedicated American, and a loyal public servant. "The letter alleges that three members of Hurna's family are 'connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations.' Never mind that one of those individuals, Huma's father, passed away two decades ago. The letter and the report offer not qne instance of an action, a decision, or a public position that Huma has taken while at the State Department that would lend credence to the charge that she is promoting anti-American activities within our government. Nor does either document offer any evidence of a direct impact that Huma may have had on one of the U.S. policies with which the authors of the letter and the producers of the report find fault. These sinister accusations rest solely on a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations of members ofHuma's family, none of which have been shown to harm or threaten the United States in any way. These attacks on Huma have no logic, no basis, and no merit. And they need to stop now. ·"Ultimately, what is at stake in this matter is larger even than the reputation of one person. This is about who we are as a nation, and who we still aspire to be. What makes America exceptional among the countries of the world is that we are bound together as citizens not by blood or class, not by sect or ethnicity, but by a set of enduring, universal, and equal rights that are the foundation of our constitution, our laws, our citizenry, and our identity. When anyone, not least a member of Congress, Launches specious and degrading attacks against fellow Americans on the basis of nothing more than fear of who they are and ignorance of what they stand for, it defames the spirit of our nation, and we all grow poorer because of it. . "Our reputations, our character, are the only things we leave behind when we depart this earth, and unjust attacks that malign the good name of a decent and honorable person is not only wrong; it is contrary to everything we hold dear as Americans. "Some years ago, I had the pleasure, along with my friend, the Senator from South Carolina, Senator Lindsey Graham, of traveling overseas with our colleague, then-Senator Hillary Clinton. By her side, as always, was Huma, and I had the pleasure of seeing firsthand her hard work and dedicated service on behalf of the former Senator from New York - a service that continues to this day at the Department of State, and bears with it ~ignificant personal sacrifice for Huma. "I have every confidence in Huma's loyalty io our country, and everyone else should as well. All Americans owe Huma a debt of gratitude for her many years of superior public service. I hope these ugly and unfortunate attacks on her can be immediately brought to an end and put behind us before any further damage is done to a woman, .an American, of genuine patriotism and Jove of country." ### ' 2 _ UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868117 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 8118 IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868118 Date: 11/24/2015 Virkar, Pooja From: McCormick, CamiC Sent: To: Subject: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 11:21 AM Reines, Philippe I Hey _ __ 86 RELEASE IN PART 86 Scott would love to interview secretary Clinton today for Evening News.

With AP Photos. By MATTHEW LEE and BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868150 Date: 11/24/2015 86 CO 5 8 6 815 OFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868150 Date: 11/24/2015 WASHINGTON (AP) -- If diplomatic achievements were measured by the number of countries visited, Hillary Rodham Clinton would be the most accomplished secretary of state in history. . While historians will debate and eventually rate her tenure as America's top diplomat, Clinton is already assured of a place in the State Department record book. When her plane touched down at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington early Tuesday morning, the former first lady completed an epic.13-day journey of 27,000 miles -- about 2,000 miles more than the circumference of the Earth -- through and over Europe to Asia and then doubling back to the Middle East. One well-traveled Clinton staffer described the France-Afghanistan-Japan-Mongolia-Vietnam-Laos-Cam bodia-Egypt-1srael itinerary as "especially absurd, even for us." Despite the mind- and body-numbing time zone hopping, Clinton joked that she was ready for more. "I appreciate being here, I am only sorry that I have to leave," she told reporters on her last stop Monday, in Israel. "My traveling team is anxious to get home. I'd like to be hanging out in Jerusalem, but, you know, I have to dq my duty," she said with a sigh. Since becoming secretary of state in 2009, Clinton has logged 351 days on the road, traveled to 102 countries and flown a whopping 843,839 miles, accordiJ?.g to the State Departrnen~. While some previo~s secretaries may have flown more miles -- mainly due to shuttling back and forth to the Mideast on peace missions -- none has visited more nations. Clinton broke that record last month, eclipsing Madeleine Albright's total of 98 1 when she traveled to Finland for number 99 and then hit the ioo mark in Latvia. Not content, she tacked on another two countries -- Mongolia and Laos, where she was the first secretary of state to visit in 57 years and only the second ever -- on her latest trip. And she has another six months to go before she reaches her self-imposed deadline to step down and take a breather. Even with a bed on the plane and her uncanny ability to sleep mid-flight, the grueling schedule can take its toll. Clinton suffered a rare coughing fit as she finished a speech before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Hanoi. And while she insisted that she would have preferred to stay all day as birds sang in Kabul's presidential place, she rushed away when Afghan President Hamid Karzai suggested taking additional questions. Arriving in Egypt this weekend after a flight from Cambodia, Clinton and her staff literally didn't know what time it was. BlackBerrys autom~tically reset their times to what should have been Cairo time, except it wasn't, so the staff set their clocks to Sarajevo time. Several hours later, the reason for the "discrepancy 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868150 Date: 11/24/2015 C0586815QFIED U.S.DepartmentofState CaseNo. F-2012-36691 DocNo. C05868150 Date:11/24/2015 was discovered: Egypt opted out of daylight saving time this year. Clinton tells anyone who asks that she won't be staying on if President Barack Obama wins a second term -- not surprising, given that only one secretary of state has served more than four years since the 1970s. And after a bruising fight with Obama for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, she Ji.kes to say she won't be returning to the political stage. But with her popularity at an all-time high and the Democrats in likely need of a 2016 candidate regardless of whether Obama is · reelected, there is widespread speculation that she would find a seconq stab at becoming first female president irresistible. First, though, she'll need a nap. (Copyright 2012 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

Now that I've gotten further into the story and based on your feedback, I'm planning to go with more general questions. Here's my current thinking: 1) Discuss her role and experience advocating for some U.S. companies (For example, Boeing). 2) Discuss coming into the administration during economic crisis, and how that informed her thinking about the role that she would play in the administration. 3) ·Discuss how this relates to her own history. Advocating for New York companies in the Senate. 4) Discuss TPP and the limitations and possibilities for leveling the playing field for US companies to compete in emerging markets. What barometer does she think economic statecraft should be held up to? 4) Discuss economic statecraft as a management question. How to change the culture of a large bureaucracy. . Happy to talk through any of these as well. Obviously, there's lots of uncontrollable factors on the trip that prevented us from accomplishing anything more than a short meet and greet. I'm therefore really counting on the interview in Washington to take place as soon as possible, so I can have my story ready to go to press this summer. I'm very excited about the story, and want to thank you again all your help in getting me to Burma. Looking forward to hearing from you. -Lizza 1 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868152 Date: 11/24/2015 C05868154 =1ED U.S.DepartmentofState CaseNo.F-2012-36691 DocNo.C05868154 Date: 11/24/2015 Virkar, Pooja From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: - -- 1 Wlach, Jennifer [ · Tuesday, July 17, 2012 11:06 AM .

So it'll be a close call and depend on exactly what we do post-Cambodia (which is still a work in progress). Won't know for sure until we're done if it hits 13. Will either tie for longest or be longest. But I'd find a rfietori9al way to say it's the most grueling or most involved. Because even if it's the same length, it's a complex and difficult trip (as you've experienced). Our first 12-day trip was in 2009 to Africa. Was pretty grueling, but different. If nothing else, the flight time's to and from Africa were shorter, as well as between countries within Africa. 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868162 Date: 11/24/2015 B6 CO 5 8 6 8 l 62=1ED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868162 Date: 11/24/2015 On this one we're mixing a variety of regions and topics.

What they're not own ing up to is reading and transcribing Chris's diary well before bothering to tell the family or anyori.e else that they took it from the site of the attack. Or that when they finally did inform them, they completely ignored the 4 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868314 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 8 314 FIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868314 Date: 11/24/2015 wishes of the family, and ultimately broke their pledge, made to the Stevens family only hours after they witnessed the return to the Unites States of Chris's remair.is. Whose first instinct is to remove from a crime scene the diary of a man killed along with three other Americans serving our country, read it, transcribe it, email it around your newsroom for others to read, and only when their curiosity is fully satisfied thinks to call the family or notify t he authorities? Then, someone who seems to be a junior blogger at CNN, eventu·ally called the Stevens family. Setting aside the question of why CNN didn't assign that obviously delicate call to someone more appropriate, that person didn't say, 'Hello, I know this is a terrible time, I'm sorry for your loss. But I'm sure you want your son's diary, where do you want it sent?' They instead took the opportunity to ask the family if CNN could report on its contents. Contents known only to Chris Stevens, and those at CNN who had already invaded his privacy. They were told no. At this point the Stevens fam ily reached out to us to enlist our help with CNN. When the seniormost levels of CNN were finally reached, they needed to be convinced to do the right thing. But not before they took another shot at convincing the family to let them report on the contents. A family member made it crystal clear directly to CNN that they wanted Chris's diary and would not make any other decisions.until then. But that wasn't fast enough for CNN, so t hey graciously offered to send the family the transcript they'd already made and passed around internally, to put a rush on the family for their own purposes. CNN then pressed for permission to at least take credit on-air for recovering the diary. They were told no. It was then made clear to CNN yet again that they wanted to look at it privately, together as a family before making any decisions. Period. CNN finally accepted what they were hearing, agreed to abide by the clear wishes of the Stevens family, and pledged not to use the diary or even allude to its existence until hearing back from the family to grant their permission. But the Stevens family was never given that chance. It seems that four days is as long as CNN can control themselves, so they just went ahead and used it. Entirely because they felt like it. Anderson Cooper didn't even bothe.r to offer any explanation as to why the network broke its promise to the family. And he only made that statement after CNN was contacted by reporters asking CNN to explain their convoluted sourcing. CNN's actions and Cooper's admission, and subsequent statements by CNN raise serious questions that they won't answer. Because they can't without indicting the!r own behavior. But there is one question more than any other that they need to answer: If they weren't going to respect the family's wishes, why did CNN even bother to pSk them what they wanted to happen with the diary? CNN had already read every word of the diary before speaking with the family. They knew exactly what it contained. If they had assessed based on what they read that they had a responsibility to t he public to report on the contents of the diary, why didn't they just say that right away, explain it to the family, and then proceed as they deemed appropriate and necessary? Nothing in the diary changed over the days that followed. From the outset, CNN had every piece of information they needed to make an editorial judg[Tlent. So why the ruse? The answer is simple: the only thing that changed as the days went on was CNN's integrity. They should never have made that promise if they felt compelled to report on the contents of the diary. The pride they are now showing in their journalistic responsibilities should have been on display from the moment they picked the diary up off the ground. 5 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868314 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 8 314 FIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05868314 Date: 11/24/2015 They could have spared themselves the trouble, spared their own viewers from being misl~d about how they came to their reporting, and more important than anything else, spared the family from the emotional whiplash CNN created.

We also reported that the ambassador specifically mentioned the rise in Islamic extremism, the growing al Qaeda presence in Libya and said he was on an at Qaeda hit list. The information for that report like all of CNN's reporting was carefully vetted. Some of that information was found in a personal journal of ambassador Stevens in his handwriting. We came upon the journal through our reporting and notified the family. At their request, we returned that journal to them. We I reported what we found newsworthy in the ambassador's writings.

Haven't heard from you so I wanted to check in. I know you have a lot of stuff on your plate, but I see that you're traveling again on Tuesday, and so I am wondering if it is realistic to think about something for the week of August 14 (I know it's unlikely, but if there happens to be time before you take off, I'm available anytime as well). There's a lot of excitement for the profile on this end. After we decided to do the Asia trip, the editors slated the story for August, so my deadline is looming. . Hoping to hear from you soon.

Hi Philippe, wrote: On Tu~, Jul 17, 2012 at 12:41 PM, Elizabeth Dwoskin Hi Philippe, So now that we're back, I'm wondering when you think we can pin down a time for the sit-down in Washington? Now that I've gotten further into the story and based on your feedback, I'm planning to go with more general questions. Here's my current thinking: I) Discuss her role and experience advocating for some U.S. companies (For example, Boeing). 2) Discuss coming into the administration during economic crisi$, and how that informed her thinking about the role that she would play in the administration. 3) Discuss how this relates to her own history. Advocating for New York companies in the Senate. 4) Discuss TPP and the limitations and possibilities for leveling the playing field for US companies to compete in emerging markets. What barometer does she think economic statecraft should be held up to? 4) Discuss economic statecraft as a management question. How to change the culture of a large bureaucracy. Happy to talk through any of these as well. Obviously, there's lots of uncontrollable factors on the trip that prevented us from accomplishing anything more than a short meet and greet. I'm therefore really counting on the interview in Washington to take place as soon as possible, so I can have my story ready to go to press this summer. I'm very excited about the story, and want to thank you again all your help in getting me to Burma. Looking forward to hearing from you. -Lizza UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867564 Date: 11/24/2015 86 86 CO 5 8 6 7 5 9 3 IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867593 Date: 11/24/2015 ·.

I'll just note that this isn't "DC gossip," these are assessments by former policymakers. As you'd expect, they are largely very positive. As you'd also expect, some people have an ax to grind. I'll discount for that, particularly in the case of critics who don't have the class to make their comments on the record. Your responses will help provide the balance and clarity I need. Here are criticisms I need your response to: -the administration doesn't have a strategic vision for responding to the world as it is today (globalized, postWestphalian) and instead, relies on tactical decisions and outmoded and increasingly ineffective international institutions (e.g. the UN on Syria) -key policy decisions on the M ideast, AfPak, Russia have been made in the WH, making it hard_ for the " Secretary to have any significant ·legacy (Tommy's email speaks to this a little) lot."] a room cabinet the lot, a room situation [one quote: "I don't have a sense that she's in the -the secretary's push to have a role in commercial diplomacy has produced no ·substantive change -on cybersecurity and cyberdiplornacy there's been a lot of talk, but .no real accomplishment -For Jake and Philippe, on mHes the Secretary has traveled and the investment she's made in developing relationships: Can I get an anecdote that conveys the pay-off that investment has yielded?

Not to get into a laundry list, but SecCfinton also praised by these forpof types for Libya and handling of Chen Guangcheng ... (some of these people are G~P types, some of them De ms)." The question is "where does 'the ·wH think she's made the most impact? So the first thing I'd note is that you're right that foreign policy decisions are ultimately made by the President, but this is very much a team sport. Secretary Clinton has been a key player in every debate about every issue since the first days of this administration. That includes START, AfPak and Iraq. Not only is she in nearly every Principals Committee meeting on these' subjects and her staff in every DC, but she's also in every NSC meeting with the President and she meets with him weekly about a range of topics. I don't know how anyone could argue otherwise. But I also don't want to somehow argue that all foreign policy influence is derivea from meetings in DC. She is also the most traveled Secretary of State in history, and she has had key conversations with heads of state and government in all of these places to shape and implement these policies. So what I'm not going to do is get into some zero sum argument about who was the most important person in a debate about a given issue, but I think we can offer actual metrics about her# of visits to the White House, miles traveled, and whatever else is useful that undercut what is in essence just DC gossip. I'd note that her exceptional work, and the President's exceptional foreign policy record, is praised not just be Democrats but by Republicans. My favorite example is below from Jim Baker, who at recent forum basically says he agrees with us on all the key i ssues of the day. Jake/Philippe/Ben - over to you. Tommy China/Currency: SECRETARY BAKER: I think the policy that we should be pursuing is pretty much the policy we are pursuing. I come, of course - I came over here with a Treasury hat on. I'd been Secretary of the Treasury for four years, interrupted by a political campaign. (Laughter.) But one of our big gripes today with China is that they mani1:mlate their currency, and they do. Now, should we call them a manipulator or not? Or would we be -.. r-better off tryin·g to get over that hurdle quietly through quiet diplomacy and serious dielomacy and stren~h-; strong. diplomacy? That's my view of the way we ought to be.approaching that.I '1 Russia/Iran: SECRETARY BAKER: Well, I'll answer that in just a miriute. But first let me say if we're going to have ..-- - differences with Russia - and we do have some differences with Russia - it seems to me 'the most important aifference we might have is with respect to Iran. And we don't have that now, and that's really important.IAnd I don't think we ought to create a problem with Russia vis-a-vis what we want to do in Iran about their nuclear ambitions as a result of something we might do in Syria. I just think the Iranian issue there is far more important really than how we resolve the Syrian issue. SECRETARY BAKER: [agree with that.. My personal position on that is this: We ought to try every possible avenue we can to see if we can get them to correct their desire and goal of acquiring a nuclear weapon, 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867682 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 7 6 8 2 IFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867682 Date: 11/24/2015 but we cannot let them acquire that weapon.

We said if we can take these wars out of domestic politics, we can cure the foreign policy problem, and we did. How did we ~o it? We put it to both parties - Daniel Ortega, the hardline, authoritarian dictator, if you will, in Nicaragua, and to Violeta Chamorro, the opposition candidate. We said if you'll hold an election and both agree to abide ·by the results, that's the way we'll get out of this conundrum. That's what happened. And both of them did agree, finally, to abide by the results. Ortega lost. President Carter was very instrumental in getting him to leave office. Why don't we try something like that in Syria, I mean, and say look, political transition is what we're looking for. Everybody - even the Russians, I think - would have difficulty saying no, we're not going to go for an election, particularly if you let Bashar run. Let him run. Make sure you have a lot of observers in there. Make sure they can't fix the election. Why not try that? Afghanistan : SECRETARY BAKER: I'm sorry- in Afghanistan-treasure, blood.

If they question her influence, so be it. We can discuss that. But to do so in the form of "I don't have a sense that she's in the situation room a lot, the cabinet room a lot" is an asinine contention made only by someone who has no clue what's going on. You get her daily schedule. The woman lives at the WH. I'll quantify that for you - but what a stupid and ignorant thing for someone to say, and should really discount their credibility.

We didn't talk about terms -- can I treat it as on-the-re.cord? If not, let's figure something out on that front. I'd asked where the WH thinks the Secretary has ryiade the most impact or biggest contribution -- I don't think you addressed that, unless you mean to say the WH sees the Secretary's contribution as evenly distributed across the board. I'll be attending Jake's talk on the Secretary's legacy tomorrow and wilf be in touch with Philippe's office about the stats on miles travelled, etc. I'd planned on a separate email to get Jake/Philippe's response to critics, but now I'll do that here and would appreciate Tommy and Ben's input as well. I'll just note that this isn't "DC gossip," these are assessments by former policymakers. As you'd expect, they are largely very positive. As you'd also expect, some people have an ax to grind. I'll discount for that, particularly in the case of UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867688 Date: 11/24/2015 86 CO 5 8 6 7 6 8 8 FIED U.S. Department of State 9ase No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867688 Date: 11/24/2015 critics who don't have the class to make their comments on t he ;ecord. Your responses will help provide the balance and clarity I need.

Say hi to Ben from the WH and Jake and Philippe from State. To get everyone acquainted w ith the topic at hand, Nicole notes that some "foreign policy types around Washington" are asserting that "Clinton hasn't been a major player on things like START, AfPak, Iraq ...They credit her with pushing the rebalancing toward Asia, esp helping to open Burma; promoting development as an integral part of diplomacy; leveraging multilateral institutions to deal with new, trans-national threats like terrorism and pandemics. Not to get into a laundry list, but SecClinton also praised by these forpol types for Libya and handling of Chen Guangcheng... (some of · these people are GOP types, some of them Oems)." The question is "where does the W H think she's made the most impact? So t he first thing I'd note is that you're right that. foreign policy decisions are ultimately made by the President, but this is very much a team sport. Secretary Clinton has been a key player in every debate about every issue since the first days of this administration. That includes START, AfPak and Iraq. Not only is she in nearly every Principa ls Committee meeting 2 "\ UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867688 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 7 6 8 8 IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867688 Date: 11/24/2015 on these subjects and her staff in every DC, but she's also in every NSC meeting with the President and she meets w ith him weekly about a range of topics. I don't know how anyone could argue otherwise. But I also don't want to somehow argue that all foreign policy influence is derived from meetings in DC. She is also the most traveled Secretary of State in history, and she has had key conversations with heads of state and government in all of these places to shape and implement these policies. So what I'm not going to do is get into some zero sum argument about who y.Jas the most important person in a debate about a given issue, but I think we can offer actual metrics about her# of visits to the White House, miles fraveled, and whatever else is useful that undercut what is in essence just DC gossip. I'd note that her exceptional work, and the President's exceptional foreign policy record, is praised not just be Democrats but by Republicans. My favorite example is below from Jim Baker, who at recent forum basically says he agrees with us on all the key issues of the day. Jake/Philippe/Ben - over to you. Tommy China/Currency: SECRETARY BAKER: I think the policy that we should be pursuing is pretty much the policy we are pursuing. I come, of course - I came over here with a Treasury hat on. I'd been Secretary of the Treasury for four years, interrupted by a political campaign. (Laughter.) But one of our big gripes today with China is that they manipulate their currency, and they do. Now, should we call them a manipulator or not? Or would we be better off trying to get over that hurdle · quietly through quiet diplomacy and serious diplomacy and strength'_: strong diplomacy? That's my view of the way we ought to be approaching.that. Russia/Iran: \. SECRETARY BAKER: Well, I'll answer that in just a minute. But first let me say if we're going to have differences with Russia - and we do have some differences with Russia - it seems to me the most important difference we might have is with respect to Iran. And we don't have that now, and that's really important. And I don't think we ought to'create a problem with ~ussia vis-a-vis what we want to do in Iran about their nuclear ambitions as a result of something we might do in Syria. I just think the Iranian issue there is far more important really than how we resolve the Syrian issue. Iran: SECRETARY BAKER: I agree with that. My personal position on that is this: We ought to try every possible avenue we can to see if we can get them to correct their desire and goal of acquiring a nuclear weapon, but we cannot let them acquire that weapon. We are the only country in the world that can stop that. The Israelis, in my opinion, do not have the capability of stopping it. They can delay it. There will also be many, many side effects, all of them adverse, from an Israeli strike. But at the end of the day, if we don't get it done the way the Administration's working on it now- which I totally agree with - then we ought to take them out. Syria/Arming opposition: How should we resolve the Syrian issue? I think we should continue to support a political transition in the government in Syria. But I don't - but I think we ought to support it diplomatically, politically, and economically in every way that we can, but we should be very leery, extremely leery, about being drawn in to any kind of a military confrontation or exercise MR. ROSE: Does that include supplying them with arms? 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Dep·artment of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867688 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 7 6 8 S IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867688 Date: 11/24/2015 SECRETARY BAKER: That -w~ll, that's a slippery slope. The fact of the matter is a lot of our allies are already supplying them with arms. Okay? It's not something MR. ROSE: And our friends in the region. SECRETARY BAKER: Well, I say our allie·s in the region. Yeah, they're doing it. And it's not something we have to do. I look at Syria and I think why are we not calling for something that we - this is - it may not be the right comparison, but in 1989, when we came into office, t he wars in Central America were the holy grail of the left, political left in this country, and the holy grail of the political right in this country. We said if we can take these wars out of domestic politics, we can cure the foreign policy problem, and we did. How did we do it? We put it t o both parties- Daniel Ortega, the hardline, authoritarian dictator, if you will, in Nicaragua, and to Violeta Chamorro, the opposition candidate. We said if you'll hold an electio!l and both agree to abide by the results, that's the way we'll get out of this .conundrum. That's what happened. And both of them did agree, finally, to abide by the results. Ortega lost. President Carter was very instrumental in getting him to leave office. Why don't we try something li ke that in Syria, I mean, and say look, political transition is what we're looking for. Everybody- even the Russians, I think - would have difficulty saying no, we're not going to go for an election, particularly if you let Bashar run. Let him run. Make sure you have a lot of observers in there. Make sure they can't fix the election. Why not try _that? · Afghanistan: SECRETARY BAKER: I'm sorry- in Afghanistan - treasure, blood. And yet, every country who's sur:rounding Afghanistan has a huge interest in a stable Afghanistan. Why don't we see if we - everyone needs to.- we're leaving now, and we've said t hat, and I agree with that. So why don't we say> "Hey, look it here. You all want a stable Afghanistan? Come on in here and help us. Everybody contribute." In that instance, I think we ought to have Iran at the table. 4 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867688 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 7 6 9 4 =1ED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867694 Date: 11/24/2015 Virkar, Pooja From: Sent: To: Subject: Melina Mara[,_-_-___··=.~-----·-___ _-_] Wednesday, July 25; 2012 8:57 AM Reines, Philippe I Secretary Clinton Piece...

My favorite example is below from Jim Baker, who at recent forum basically says he agrees with us on all the key issues of the day. Jake/Philippe/Ben - over to you. Tommy China/Currency: SECRETARY BAKER: I think the policy that we should be pursuing is pretty much the policy we are pursuing. I come, of course - I came over here with a Treasury hat on. I'd been Secretary of the Treasury for four years, interrupted by a political campaign. (Laughter.) But one ·of our big gripes today with China is that they manipulate their currency, and they do. Now, should we call them a manipulator or not? Or would we be better off trying to get over that hurdle quietly through quiet diplomacy and serious diplomacy and strength - strong diplomacy? That' s my view of the way we ought to be approaching that. Russia/Iran: SECRETARY BAKER: Well, I'll answer t hat in just a minute. But first let me say if we're going to have differences with Russia - and we do have some differences with Russia - it seems to me the most important difference we might have is w ith respect to Iran. And we don't have that now, and that's really important. And I don't think we ought to create a problem with Russia vis-a-vis what we want to do in Iran about their nuclear ambitions as a result !Jf something we might do in Syria. I just think the Iranian issue there is far more important really than how we resolve the Syrian issue. Iran: SECRETARY BAKER: I agree with that. My personal position on that is this: We ought to try every possible avenue we· can to see if we can get them to correct their desire and goal of acquiring a nuclear weapon, but we cannot let them acquire that weapon. We are the only country in the world that can stop that. The Israelis, in my opinion, do not have the capability of stopping it. They can delay it.. There will also be many, many side effects, all of them adverse, from an Israeli strike. But at the end of the day, if we don't get it done the way the Administration's working on it now- which I . totally agree with - then we ought to take them out. Syria/Arming opposition: 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867696 Date: 11/24/2015 MR. ROSE: Does that include supplying them with arms? SECRETARY BAKER: That - well, that's a slippery slope. The fact o·f the matter is a lot of our allies are already supplying · them with arms. Okay? It's not something MR. ROSE: And our friends in the region. SECRETARY BAKER: Well, I say our allies in the region. Yeah, they're doing it. And it's not something we have to do. I look at Syria and I think why are we not calling for something that we - this is - it may not be the right comparison, but in 1989, when we came into office, the wars in Central America were the holy grail of the left, political left in this country, and the.holy grail of the political right in this country. We said if we can take these wars out of domestic politics, we can cure the foreign policy problem, and we did. How did we do it? We put it to both parties - Daniel Ortega, the hardline, authoritarian dictator, if you will, in Nicaragua, and to Violeta Chamorro, the opposition candidate. We said if you'll hold an election and both agree to . abide by the results, that's the way we'll get out of this conundrum. That's what happened. And both of them did agree, finally, to abide by the results. Ortega lost. President Carter was very instrumental in getting him to leave office. Why don't we try something like that in Syria, I mean, and say look, political transition is what we're looking for. Everybody- even the Russians, I think - would have difficulty saying no, we're not going to go for an election, particularly if you let Bashar .run. Let him run. Make sure you have a lo't of observers in there. Make sure they can't fix · the election. Why not try that? Afghanistan: SECRETARY BAKER: I'm sorry - in Afghanistan - treasure, blood. And yet, every country who's surrounding Afghanistan has a huge inter-est in a stable Afghanistan. Why don't we see if we - everyone needs to -we're leaving now, and we've said that, and I agree with that. So why don't we say, "Hey, look it here. You all want a stable Afghanistan? Come on in here and help us. Everybody contribute." In that instance, I think we ought to have Iran at· the table. 4 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867696 Date: 11/24/2015 CO 5 8 6 7 7 O4 IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05867704 Date: 11/24/2015 Virkar, Pooja From: Sent: To: Subject: NICOLE GAOUETIE (BLOOMBERG/ Tuesday, July 24, 2012 7:04 PM Reines, Philippe I Re: A "Tsk Tsk" question ~EWSROOM:) I ~ '--~---~-- No, she was the principle weasel for wanting to be really critical on background and said that as a "former senior foreign policymaker" -- won't bore you with her other criticisms.

I'd asked where the WH thinks the Secretary has made the most impact or biggest contribution·-- I qon't think you addressed that, unless you mean to say the WH sees the Secretary's contribution as evenly distributed across the board. I'll be attending Jake's talk on the Secretary's legacy tomorrow and will be in touch with Philippe's office about the stats on miles travelled, etc. I'd plarmed on a separate email to get Jake/Philippe's response to critics, l;mt now I'll do that here and would appreciate Tommy and Ben's input as well. I'll just note that this isn't "DC gossip," these are assessments by former policymakers. As you'd expect, they are largely very positive. As you'd also expect, some people have an ax to grind. I'll discount for that, particularly in the case of critics who don't have the class to make their comments on the record. Your responses will help . provide the balance and clarity I need. REVIEW AUTHORITY: Barbara Nielsen~] Senior Reviewer Here are criticisms I need your response to: -the administration doesn't have a strategic vision for responding to the world as it is today (globalized, postWestphalian) and instead, relies on tactical decisions and outmoded and increasingly ineffective international institutions (e.g. the UN on Syria) -key policy decisions on the Mideast, AfPak, Russia have been made in the WH, making it hard for the Secretary to have any significant legacy (Tommy's email speaks to this a little) [one quote: "I don't have a sense that she's in the situation room a lot, the cabinet room a lot."] -the secretary's push to have a role in commercial diplomacy has produced no substantive change -on cybersecurity and cybe.rdiplomacy there's been a lot of talk, but no real accomplishment -For Jake and Philippe, on miles the Secretary has traveled and the investment she's made in developing relationships: Can I get an anecdote that conveys the pay-off that investment has yielded?

We are reporting out an article about Secretary Clinton's relationship with Sen. McCain (in light of the Huma episode last week.) And we're wondering if the secretary or the department could send us a statement on how she views their relationship? Also, if you have specific episodes or anecdotes for background about their relationship over the years, that would be very helpful. · A few things I want to run by you. When the Mari Carmen Aponte ambassadorial nomination was up for a confirmation vote this year, Secretary Clinton called McCain and urged him to support her. We're talking about some trips they've taken together, including Munich, Salties, and Svalbard. McCain hig~lighted -the Svalbard trip because of the 24-hours-a-day of sunshine, said they "sat outside and watched the sun go down and just touch the horizon and then go back up." ) He told us they first mefwhen she was first lady and got to know her better as he worked with her husband in the mid-1990s on normalizing diplomatic relations with Vietnam. ,., We interviewed the senator about it, and he said they have developed a good relationship over the years. Wanted to give you a headsup and see if you wanted to weigh in on _this. Thanks for any help you can give.

The point really is one-on-one time w/HRC and talking to her while she's in action. One conversation is fine, and I appreciate your tempering my expectations. Journalists love the Chen story, and one reason it's being recounted in the media so much is because it's play-by-play.

She's a very close friend, and ~ s very special to all of us. So I was a little surprised when she just mentioned that you contacted Risa Heller to request an interview with Huma, on behalf of Savannah Guthrie.

Going forward, please feel free to con~act me directly for anything related to Huma, so there's no further misunderstanding.

Nearly ten countries, bilateral meetings, multilateral conferences, the works. It's going to be one.of those trips where the hosts give us a hard time on the number of our traveling press that can get into events. They'll say "one camera" and rough us up about the camera needing a producer too (very often their own media isn't as strict about ed itorial standards}. So before we go down the road of twisting arms, we just want to make sure that Tom, as the pool producer, needs to be with the camera at all times, at all events, all sprays, etc. Otherwise, my understanding is that absent editorial presence, what's shot can't be used. With some producers that seems like a hard and fast unbreakable rule, with others it seems to be more, shall we say, more flexible. Would love for you guys to let us know what Tom's marching orders are, so we can do our best to facilitate his and the pool's needs.

The fonner first lady 1s on her first uip to the Middle East as Amenca's top diplomat since US President Barack Obama took office in January pledging a new spirit of global cooperation The United States is reportedly mulling a 900-million-dollar aid package to rebuild Gaza, which was devastated by Israel's three-week war against its Hamas rulers m December and January and a continumg blockade Clmton will have to respond to the womes of European leaders who want Washington to pressure its top ally Israel to improve aid distribution to the Palestmian enclave. She said on Fnday the aid would depend on how well the Palestinians meet the conditions of the diplomatic Quartet of the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia "I will be announcing a commitment to a significant aid package, but It will only be spent if we determine that our goals can be furthered rather than undermined or subverted," she told Voice of America radio About 75 countnes are taking part m the aid conference being held m the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday, six weeks after the guns largely fell silent around the impoverished enclave.

But major donors are demandmg that Gaza's Islarmst rulers agree to play, no role in spending the cash, which they insist be handled by the Western-backed Palesuruan Authority of president Mahmud Abbas. Clinton is due to hold bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the conference and JOin a meeting of the Middle East peace Quartet From Egypt, she is due to visit lsrdel and the Wes!

In Egypt Clinton will be joined by a host of top world officials including UN chief Ban Ki-moon, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and EU foreign pohcy envoy Javier Solana "We expect rapid mteroational aid from all parties to completely rebuild Gaza," Abbas told reporters on Saturday "We also expect that as in the past there will be one mechanism, the P alestinian Authonty." 111e Palestinian Authority and Hamas each want to lead the rebuildmg effort, but Western countries - which blacklist the Jslam1sts as tetTOrists - have said they will work only with Abbas. "I wouJd like to insist that the mechanism used to deploy the money is the one that represents the Palestinian Autbonty,• Solana said on Friday. "I don't think there 1s a need for new mechanisms.• However, the Palestinian leader's control e>..1ends only to the West Bank smce Hamas violently seized Gaza in June 2007, ousting .

Giving a reporter a background point from a US official saying the secretary expressed the unshakable committment to Israel just doesn't fit that description . I know you probably feel you are trying to control the information and the message, but i'm telling you - if history is any indicator, this will have the opposite effect. In the absence of real information and background c:Ontext, the secrecy becomes the story. You dont' want that. There is a lot of nuance behind the scenes which these reporters already recognize .... so the more forward leaning you can be, the more likely the story is going to resemble something that you want it to look like. - the best advice i could give to you is give these reporters a roundtable, a backgrounder with Jeff Feltman or something to write a meaningful story and do it soon. That list from glenn is a great blueprint for how you should be allowing access=that is how it was done in Asia and the coverage was VERY favorable. This should be built into every schedule from the beginning. The same goes for Brusells/Geneva - a combo of HRC and Dan Fried would be about right. These officials - HRC in particular - are all adults and a rent' going to say anything that they shouldn't anyway . · You know l"m saying this to you directly in an effort to try and helpful - im in office for about another half hour if you want to talk about it before you go to sleep. on cell after that.

L ---~ Date: 02/26/200906 : 14PM Subject: Briefings on the trip Hi a ll, Here are some unsolicited t hough ts regarding briefings from the Secretary on the upcoming trip. I thought it worked out well on the Asian trip once we figured what each side needed. Generally, for our purposes, we need fresh on-the-record words from the Secretary with each news cycle or st op . (It gets complicated sometimes because of the time zones.) · So, if we are headed to a new place, answering some questions on the plane helps ground the story in that location. If t he Secretary is planning to land some place, hold a quic~ meeting and then have a news conference (and dead lines can be met back in the States), then the plane briefing is a little less essentia l. Roundtables are very helpfu l after a stretch of diplomacy, since it allows us to get into issues in more depth. So with those thoughts in mind : Sunday , on the second leg after the refueli ng stop: trip briefing so we can fi le stories with a Cairo dateline for Monday's papers Monday -- I assume she has a news conference of some sort at the conference Tuesday/Wednesday --I assume she has news conferences schedu led with various officia ls, but a roundtable Tuesday o r Wednesday would be very helpful. Then flying to Belgium, a plane briefing for the NATO story. Thursday --there's a NATO news conference Fri day -- Plane briefing before Lavrov? or is there a news conference planned? Roundtable after Lavrov? Saturday --I assume there is a news conference . But a plane briefing on the way back to Shannon would allow her to address t he whole t ri p more in depth.

C 1oud By Thursday, she was proposing an international conference on Afghanistan, which Clinton said Iran was likely · to be invited to attend. The contrast - between condemnation and engagement with Iran - illustrates the delicate balance that Clinton and President Barack Obama are trying to strike as they fashion a strategy to stop Tehran's nuclear program and bring peace to the Middle East. · Obama's approach to Iran - the very heart of that broader 'M iddle East strategy he described during the campaign, when he called for direct talks with Tehran. is turning out differently than Clinton did not rule out direct talks, but she signaled on her first v isit to the Middle East this week that the administration is pursuing a policy of isolating Iran - not unlike the approach employed with little success by the Bush administration. In large measure, it is a bow to reality. U.S. officials now see little ind ication that Iran is willing to make even token steps, to ease back on either its nuclear program or its support for terror groups, that would justify moving ahead with such talks. Increasingly they believe gett.ing Iran to change will most likely require the use of tougher sanctions and other fonns of intensifying pressure. But Obama's strategy on Iran differs from Bush's in its greater willingness to engage with Iran on regional issues and at multilateral forums, as Iran's possible participation in the- U'.S.-backed conference on Afghanistan sugge·sts. All the nuances of the emerging strategy have been on display during Clinton's weeklong trip to the Middle East and Europe. Clinton hopes to have better success than Bush did at building support among allies for imposing t ighter economic restricti ons on Tehran's oil sector. European governments and Russia have been reluctant to adopt such measures while Bush was in office - arguing f(>r engagement, rather than isolation, to persuade Tehran to freeze its nuclear program. So by keeping the possibility of direct talks on the table and collaborating at forums like the upcoming Afghanistan conference, the administration thinks it can undercut the reluctance of its allies and Moscow to move forward with tougher measures , officials and outside experts said. Clinton will meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov later in the week in Geneva. For Clinton and the rest of the administration, Iran lies at the heart of an interlocking set of Middle East issues that American officials argue can be solved only by pressuring Tehran to abandon its nuclear program and halt support for terror groups - st1ch as Hamas and Hezbollah - that stand in the way of U.S. goals for the region. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05852708 Date: 11/24/2015 l I I CO 5 8 5 2 7 OS IED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2012-36691 Doc No. C05852708 Date: 11/24/2015 "There's a great deal of concern about Iran in the entire region," Clinton said at the end of three days of talks in the region, first in Egypt and later in Israel and the West Bank. "It is clear that Iran intends to interfere in the internal affairs of all these people and try to continue their efforts to fund terrorism, whether it is Hezbollah or Ha mas or other proxies." The question is, what happens if t he Iranians don't buckle under the intensified pressure the U.S. is planning? Israel has long raised the possibility of military action against Iran's nuclear facilities if international efforts to force Tehran to abandon its nuclear activity fail in the coming year. In Israel this week, with Clinton standing beside her, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni reminded her that "time is of the essence" and "all necessary steps" should be taken to deny Iran a nuclear weapon, a standard Israeli warning that airstrikes against Iran 's nuclear facilities may be necessary. U.S. officials ~ave not ruled out military action, but they are hoping that their Iran strategy produces results before a decision on military act ion becomes necessary. That will depend on the ability of Clinton to make the · multifaceted strategy on Iran work. Clinton announced this week that the administration was sending two officials to explore better ties with Syria, an Iranian ally that the Bush administration sought to isolate. The overture to Syria is in its early stages, and it is unclear what will come of it, Clinton emphasized to reporters. But it is potentially an important piece of the new strategy that at least holds the potential for drawing Damascus away from the Iranian orbit and reducing its support for Hezbollah, the hard-line Islamic movement in Lebanon, officials said. "We believe there is an opportunity for Syria to play a constructive role, if it chooses to do so," Clinton told reporters traveling on her plane. Her call for an international con ference on ·Afghanistan came Thursday at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers. U.S. officials said invitation lists for the conference were still being finalized. They played down the participation of Iran, saying that if Iran is included, it will be because all of Afghanistan's neighbors are invited and will not represent a U.S. overture to Tehran. Clinton said the meeting could be held March 31 and be led by the U.N.'s special representative for Afghanistan, Kai Eide of Norway, who was appointed to improve coordination of international civilian assistance to Kabul. The conference is likely to be held in the NetherlClnds. Iranian officials skipped a similar conference convened in·Paris last December, and if they fail to show for the March meeting , it will be another piece of evidence for the U.S. to use in arguing that Iran is an international pariah. During the presidential campaign, Obama promised to pursue better ties with Iran and to hold d irect talks without preconditions. But other than offering engagement if Iran ''unclenches its fist," he has made no public moves to initiate direct-contact with Tehran , which in recent years has been confined to narrow talks about Iraq and other regional concerns. Likewise, in her comments to reporters on her trip, Clinton did not rule out talks with Iran, which broke off relations in 1979. But she emphasized: "We want to make sure it's constructive." Clinton did not lay out this entire strategy during her swing th.rough the Middle East but offered snippets of the new thinking, some of which reflects the ideas of special adviser Dennis Ross, whom she brought in to shape the administration's overall strategy in the region. Ross' appointment was announced by the State Department last week, but he has been informally advising Clinton since before the announcement. Ross may well pursue a less visible overture to the Iranians. Before joining the government, he recommended approaching the Iranians in private, rather than holding direct talks. In a lengthy analysis published last year by the Center for a New American Security, a centrist Washington think tank, Ross recommended setting up a "direct, secret back channel" to the Iranians with the goal of having "a thorough discussion" and "a common agenda" for improving relations, including dealing with Iran's nuclear program. Whether the administration's strategy for the region works depends to some degree on events beyond its control, including the results of elections later this year in Iran to choose a new president.

At the same time, officials say that decisions about the Iranian nuclear program will be made by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a hard-liner who has so far shown little indication he is willing to pursue better relations with Washington. On Wednesday, The Associated Press reported, Khamenei accused Obama of following what he viewed as the same mistaken path as the Bush administration with his "unconditional" support of Israel. Khamenei described Israel as a "cancerous tumor" that is on the verge of collapse, and he criticized the Palestinian Authority, which Clinton sought to bolster d~rin g her visit to the West Bank on Wednesday.

But it's more than that: it's a stunningly clueless statement, because we would surely know already if the Clintons had failed · to pay their taxes. ·See, the Clintons have released their tax returns to the public. It was kind of a big deal, with the media -- Andrea Mitchell included - endlessly clamoring for the returns (and showing no comparable interest in John McCain's.) A big enough deal that it's incomprehensible that a national political reporter like Andrea Mitchell wouldn't know that the Clintons released the returns. (Thanks to S.P. for the tip.) Prev.

Clintons Moving to Woodstock? From: Sent: To: Subject: ~SEINPART) Hi Philippe, Is there anything to this piece in today's Kingston Freeman about the Clintons buying a place in Woodstock? Many thanks, Rik Rik Stevens News Editor The Associated Press Albany, N.Y. ~ I Clintons to Woodstock? Rumors are swirling Friday, March 13, 2009 8:23 AM EDT By Freeman staff .WOODSTOCK -Are they buying a white house in Woodstock? Speculation has been growing around Ulster County in recent weeks that former President Bill Clinton and his wife . Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, are buying a home in the community known for its arts and history. The former first couple, whose home is in Wesichester County, seems to be enamored of the area - evidenced by multiple visits here - but whether they plan to become local residents is anything but certain. Phone calls to local politicians, officials, spokespeople and real estate agents have led to the conclusion that if someone knows something, anything, about a pending home purchase, they aren't saying. It's as if someone has stamped the whole idea ·rop Secret." Take, for instance, an e-mail sent by the Freeman to the former president's office. The e-mail was not answered on Wednesday, but a follow-up phone call that day to a spokesperson in the office brought an assurance that a response would come on Thursday. On Thursday, with an e-mail reply still lacking, another call brought the response that it could a few days for the reporter's question to be reviewed and answered. A spokesman in the secretary of state's press office, meanwhile, wouldn't comment. It seems like a simple enough question: Are the former president and current secretary of state buying a home in Woodstock? Perhaps the answer is "Simply wait and see if a deed is filed." But no one is saying even that. An employee in the Woodstock town assessor's office said she had heard talk on the street about the Clintons buying a house here but had not seen any deed to prove it. The Ulster County clerk said she, too, had not seen a deed. The Woodstock town supe1Visor's office also said it had no information, nor did the public relations director at the Emerson Resort & Spa in Mount Tremper, where the Clintons have stayed on two occasions, most recently in December. Ulster County Chamber of Commerce of Commerce President Ward Todd alluded to the Clintons moving to Woodstock in an interview with Jodie McTague on Kingston radio station WKNY-AM, but he later confirmed that his knowledge simply came from reading an editorial about the subject in The Townsman, a weekly newspaper based in Woodstock.
