Hillary Clinton's Weiner
« on: December 20, 2016, 03:53:56 PM »
A Federal judge ordered a release of the search warrant for the Abedin/Weiner laptop. They show 27 classified email chains, with 6 of them at the SECRET level at the time of transmission (versus being classified after the fact).

It seems like no one cares anymore, but that's more hard, irrefutable evidence for punishment. Again, IMO, the very least she should suffer is a lifetime ban on clearances. Same with Abedin.

Trump needs to have his people follow through and prosecute some of these people.  The politicians and their aides cannot get a pass.

Why would former Secretary Clinton still have any clearances at all after leaving government service?  Is it common for former politicians/State Department staffers to retain a clearance after leaving the job?

In some cases they can be left as-is and not actively rescinded.  Like mine when I got out of .mil.  I went to my new employer with a shiny, new, "No need for interim clearance, thanks" the day I walked in the door.  Which can be a serious hiring issue, since some clearances can take months to get.

I expect HRC had a TS which has a sell-by date of 5 years.

But, yeah, she and the Wieners and her staffers should never come close to classified material again this side of the grave.

Irrespective of whatever clearance she has, or had, she does not currently hold any position in government, nor does Huma, nor does Anthony. Fundamental to security clearances is the concept of "need to know." If I have a secret document, and you have a top secret clearance and want to read my document -- if you don't have any need to see it, I'm not supposed to show it to you, and you're not supposed to be looking at it anyway. And everyone who has any security clearance at all is supposed to know that.

Look at the boy general Petraeus, who got caught letting his mistress biographer look at his classified documents. Broadwell was a commissioned officer herself  (Major - up for Lt. Colonel but the scandal axed that), an intelligence officer with a top secret clearance. But she wasn't boinking the general in an official capacity, she was there as a biographer and she had no official need to see any of those documents. THAT's why he got nailed for letting her have access to them.

At this point I'm ready to say "Bring back HUAC."  

Yeah, yeah, I know....

Reactionary...

Too bad it's got so much baggage with it.

At least in terms of security leaks, maybe.

I take it back.
