“Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends . . . .”<\/em>\u00a0 Well, at least it seems sometimes as if this one will persist forever.<\/p>\n

Still, maybe not.\u00a0 Remember the argument a few weeks ago, when the Clintoon camp tried to “pooh-pooh” two emails found on her poorly-secured “private email server” that contained top secret information, calling them the result of a “disagreement” over the proper classification or claiming that they “weren’t classified at the time”?\u00a0 The IC came on record and flatly stated that was not the case, and that the materials in question were indeed top secret.<\/p>\n

Well, it looks as if there was a bit more to it than that.<\/p>\n

It seems as if the Intelligence Community IG office did a comprehensive review of the issue, apparently between November and earlier this month. And it\u2019s considerably worse than they first let on.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: dozens of classified emails were on that ineffectively-secured and unauthorized “private” server.\u00a0 And at least some of those emails apparently contained information that was not only top secret, but which was also SAP (special access program) material from the Intelligence Community<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 For those of you unfamiliar with the term, this linked Wikipedia article<\/a><\/em> provides a decent overview of what a special access program is and why one would exist.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking, “That\u2019s bad” – yeah, that\u2019s bad.\u00a0 Really<\/u> bad.\u00a0 As in “Big (Freaking) Deal” bad, to quote the current VP.<\/p>\n

Something like this is simply NOT supposed to happen.\u00a0 Period.<\/p>\n

The material here is so highly controlled that some members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee – the Senate committee which oversees operations of the State Department – were not authorized access to this information without receiving additional security briefings and signing additional nondisclosure agreements<\/span> specifically relating to the material.\u00a0 This was true even though those same individuals were previously cleared for access to all other materials publicly acknowledged as being found on Clintoon\u2019s unauthorized “private” server.<\/p>\n

The linked articles are quite informative – and disturbing as hell.\u00a0 IMO they\u2019re worth your time to read.<\/p>\n

IMO, a number of people should be going to jail for this.\u00a0 At this point it appears obvious that this was not merely the result of some “honest mistake” in handling classified information.<\/p>\n

18 USC 793(f) and (g)<\/a><\/em>, anyone?\u00a0 Sure looks like it to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
