You may have seen some of the discussion about Hillary Clinton and her inability to comprehend classified material. Let me explain; One of the main function of the executive department is the collection and distribution of information to folks who need the information. Some of that information is classified. A document might have a “Top Secret” classification, but not all of the information is classified as “Top Secret”. Some portions might be less classified. The author of the document indicates which portions are which level of classification by putting a parenthetical letter designation in the left margin. <\/p>\n

For example a (C) in the margin means that the information in a particular paragraph or sentence can be disseminated to people with a “Confidential” or higher security clearance – so an editor can cut and paste that information into a document releasable to folks who need that information – even though other paragraphs in the same document might be restricted to them.<\/p>\n

Hillary claims<\/a> that she didn’t know that. <\/p>\n

“When asked what the parenthetical ‘C’ meant before a paragraph … Clinton stated she did not know and could only speculate it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order,” the FBI wrote in notes from its interview with her.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess she didn’t notice that there was no (A) or (B).<\/p>\n

I know it because I was a low-level editor in the National Archives and I was required to take training to reinforce my lawful behavior. I took my job seriously, so I took the training seriously.<\/p>\n

Clinton, not so much. In fact, that stuff about parenthetical designations is like lesson one of online training. I guess national security isn’t as important to some folks in government as others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
