ABC News<\/a> reports that LTC Jason Amerine retired yesterday after the government’s case against him collapsed. Amerine was accused of releasing classified information to Congressional staffers of Congressman Duncan Hunter. He has has always denied that;<\/p>\n

Amerine…came under fire this year when FBI agents working hostage cases alerted the Army\u2019s Criminal Investigative Command to what they claimed was a serious security violation stemming from Amerine’s contacts with Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., a military veteran on the House Armed Services Committee, and Hunter staffers who didn’t hold Top Secret clearances. Amerine’s own clearance was pulled, ironically, the day [Warren] Weinstein was killed.<\/p>\n

Amerine denied that he did anything wrong in his forceful testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on whistleblowers, recounting how “the FBI formally complained to the Army that information I was sharing with Rep. Hunter was classified. It was not.”<\/p>\n

“After my criminal investigation began, the FBI admitted to Rep. Hunter that they had the utmost respect for our work but they had to put me in my place. Again: the FBI made serious allegations of misconduct to the Army in order to put me in my place and readily admitted that to a U.S. Congressman,” the Green Beret said at the dramatic June hearing, in which he appeared in uniform. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Amerine finally retired yesterday, ending the quixotic persecution of a real American hero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
