A former Diplomatic Security agent revealed to the FBI Hillary Clinton repeatedly broke diplomatic and security protocols in favor of her own personal preferences.

The agent, whose name was redacted in the FBI report, told investigators Clinton “frequently and ‘blatantly’ disregarded” the rules, according to newly released documents related to the Clinton email server investigation.

“[REDACTED] described a ‘stark difference’ between RICE and CLINTON with regard to obedience to security and diplomatic protocols,” the agent told the FBI.

“RICE observed strict adherence to State Department security and diplomatic protocols while CLINTON frequently and ‘blatantly’ disregarded them.

“For example, it is standard security and diplomatic protocol for the Secretary of State to rise in the armored limousine with the local U.S. ambassador when traveling in countries abroad. It is seen as diplomatic protocol for the Secretary of State to arrive at foreign diplomatic functions with the local ambassador; however, CLINTON refused to do so, instead choosing to be accompanied in the limousine by her Chief of Staff, HUMA ABEDIN.

“This frequently resulted in complaints by ambassadors who were insulted and embarrassed by this breach of protocol.

“[REDACTED] explained that CLINTON’s protocol breaches were well known throughout Diplomatic Security and were ‘abundant.'”

The agent told the FBI Abedin had an unusual amount of power for her position.

“[REDACTED] explained that ABEDIN possessed ‘much more power’ over Clinton’s staff and schedule than other former chiefs of staff.

“[REDACTED] believed that ABEDIN herself was often responsible for overriding security and diplomatic protocols on behalf of Clinton,” the agent said.

The former Diplomatic Security agent also told the FBI Clinton repeatedly jeopardized her own safety for her own personal reasons.

Clinton demanded security agents drive her into a “potentially hostile area” of Jakarta, Indonesia so she could observe a “clean cooking stoves” initiative for a “photo op.”

The agent lamented putting Clinton in “unnecessary danger in order to conduct a photo opportunity for ‘her election campaign’.”

“DS agents felt CLINTON traveled with hand-picked media who would present her in favorable light in order to garner political support,” the agent said.

Another breach came when Clinton demanded a vehicle window be opened while traveling through the West Bank.

“[REDACTED] initially declined to respond to CLINTON’s request; however, repeated demand by CLINTON forced him to open his window despite the danger to himself and the occupants.”

The agent’s interview took place September 2, 2015.
