I just took a class for IRS Circular 230 tax preparers. Circular 230 covers CPAs, lawyers actuaries and little folk like me.

The legalese was all phrased “knew or should have known” in regards to my responsibilities.

Kendall and HRC hide behind all this lawyerly language, to hide their roles. It is all BS.

Nice find.

EXCERPT / Josh Gerstein, Politico / 08/25/15

Hillary Clinton’s personal attorney David Kendall says he had a “top secret” security clearance granted by the State Department in order to review information related to the House Benghazi investigation, but a senior Republican senator insists that clearance didn’t give the lawyer authority to hold Clinton’s most sensitive emails.

For weeks, Republican lawmakers such as Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley have raised questions and demanded information about Kendall’s authority to access portions of Hillary Clinton’s emails that the State Department has determined are classified. State officials previously confirmed that Clinton’s attorneys had a clearance but did not name the lawyers.

In a new letter to Grassley, Kendall says he got a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance from the Justice Department in November 2013 and a Top Secret clearance from the State Department about a year later.

Kendall says his Williams & Connolly law partner, Katherine Turner, also got a Top Secret clearance from State in December 2014. “These State Department security clearances remain active. We obtained them in order to be able to review documents at the Department of State, to assist former Secretary Clinton in preparing to testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi,” Kendall wrote.

Kendall's letter adds more detail to public knowledge about the clearances for Clinton’s lawyers, but it is unlikely to silence complaints from Clinton’s critics about mishandled classified information. Clearances, especially Top Secret ones, are normally granted in connection with specific matters and do not entitle recipients to all information classified at that level, absent an agency’s determination that an individual has a “need to know.”

Kendall called issuance of the State Department clearances “unrelated” to the roughly 30,000 emails Clinton turned over to her former agency from her personal server and account last December. “As I am sure you are aware, it was not until nearly six months later, that the first email in this group was retroactively classified as ‘Secret,’” Kendall wrote.

In a letter Tuesday to Secretary of State John Kerry, Grassley said Kendall’s clearance was inadequate because the intelligence community recently determined that at least two messages on Clinton’s server contained information classified at the “TS/SCI” level. The State Department disputes those classifications and has requested a review by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

“Neither Mr. Kendall nor Ms. Turner have a security clearance at a sufficient level to be a custodian of TS/SCI material. Thus, it appears Secretary Clinton sent TS/SCI material to unauthorized persons,” Grassley wrote. On Tuesday, the senator’s office released his letter as well as Kendall’s.

Nice work.

Cheryl Mills should be in one hot kettle of fish....but she's still up to her old tricks.....cashing in using the Clinton criminal MO ... pilfering classified govt info.

===========================================

US govt employee, Cheryl Mills group, BlackIvy, is developing a privately-financed dry port that will be located 56 km outside of the Port of Dar es Salaam, and will use shuttle trains to take transit and upcountry cargo to and from the Port,” BlackIvy spokeswoman Erin Pelton confirmed to Breitbart News. “BlackIvy is focused on in-land logistics, not operating seaports,” Pelton added, denying that BlackIvy is running into opposition from the Tanzania Ports Authority.

So how did BlackIvy, a brand new firm with no discernible track record of building ports, manage to become an overnight player in the East African energy market?

It turns out Clinton’s former aides had some help from a company called Symbion Power, which was created to profit off rebuilding efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan after the U.S. invasions. Symbion Power happens to be a very good friend of Hillary Clinton’s.

BACKSTORY Hillary's pal, Sid Blumenthal was the conniving Clintons' bagman---a $325,000 employee of the Clinton Foundation, he had numerous paid side interests----promoting any number of foreign deals and schemes in which he had a financial interest.....many of which were predicated on the toppling of Libya's Khadaffi.

Blumenthal was ambidextrous---chronically emailing Hillary Libya foreign policy messages w/ one hand....his other hand firmly in the State Dept cookie jar.

In one confidential e-mail to Clinton, Blumenthal was clearly colluding w/ onetime Amb Joe Wilson (Valerie Plame's hubby) to help himself to the tax dollars in the State Dept cookie jar.

GAME ON Amb Wilson pumped himself up as a 'director' of Symbion Power---an outfit seeking millions of dollars in contracts from an obscure government agency chaired by Hillary....the Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC)

In September 2010, Hillary's MCC awarded Symbion $47 million tax dollars for (cough) 'power projects in Tanzania.'

EVER WONDER how much of the $47 million tax dollars got to Tanzania....after the players divvied it up among Blumenthal, Wilson, the Clintons, Obama?

<><> Did Mill’s BlackIvy Group donate to The Clinton Foundation? <><> Did the Clinton Foundation partner w/ her BlackIvy Group in some phony sub-Sahara scam “for the children?” <><> Did Hillary’s State Dept grant Mill’s Group tax monies? <><>Did any of the Sub-Sahara countries listed above donate to the Clinton Foundation?

NOTE Millenium is also the source of the 100 million tax dollars Michele gave to Morocco "to teach Muslim girls" ===========================================

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT--DO THIS NOW: demand the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways.........govt parasites profiting at taxayers' expense.

The shocking activities of Hillary, Bill Clinton, their cronies Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, Doug Band, John Podesta, Jennifer Palmeiri, and the rest named above, remind me of the fictional Philip Nolan....."The Man Without a Country."

Like Nolan all of the Clinton cronies have seemingly renounced our nation. They act like they never heard of the United States of America. They do nothing but disparage its citizens.

Its as if they live their lives in exile......they never even mention America or, more importantly, ways to preserve American values.

Even more egregious one could conclude Hillary and Bill gave explicit orders that no one shall ever mention the United States of America in their presence, ever again.

WHERE THE REAL STENCH IS WITH HILLARY
The Market-Ticker ^ | July 5, 2016 | Karl Denninger /FR Posted by SatinDoll

The mere presence of Special Access Program (SAP) material on Hillary's "private" email server is a federal offense. Sometimes described as "above top secret" these programs are no-BS "need to know" and you must be read into each one individually, then you must access whatever material is involved in a secured facility from which that material may not leave. There is no such thing as "having access to them" on a general basis, no matter who you are.

These programs typically deal with human intelligence of some form -- an agent on the ground in a foreign nation employed in a very sensitive role and operation. Divulging the material will cause great harm to national security, usually will get people killed outright and might start a war -- literally. That's not hyperbole -- it's real and is no joke.

That Hillary is reported to have had this material on her server means that at least two serious felonies occurred. First, the person who caused it to be there committed a serious federal offense, since there is literally no possible way for it to happen without multiple breaches of security protocols to have taken place sequentially, acts that cannot happen by accident.

Second, for Hillary to not immediately report same and deal with the fallout is a second federal offense. ......Bill also had access to it so he's in trouble, too.

SNIP

Nonetheless this is not the most-serious aspect of the Emailgate scandal.....it's far worse -- it's the Clinton Foundation linkage. There is already plenty of evidence in the public that the Clinton Foundation basically sold access to information and even secrets themselves to persons in other nations for "donations", and this is not something that happened without the knowledge of literally hundreds of people in our government, including at the highest levels, all of whom had a legal and national duty to prevent and report it.

That America has a candidate for President who was not only deeply involved in this she was the architect and chief steering agent for it is beyond outrageous. There are plenty of people who believe that Obama has basically sold out America to various foreign interests, including the Muslim Brotherhood. What Hillary appears to have been involved in is not only far worse it's far more-pervasive.

SNIP

Hillary is facially disqualified by the laws of the United States from being President, or for that matter, holding any office in our government. That we continue to allow someone who is tantamount to Senator Palpatine to continue with this charade is an outrage. If it continues, and leads to her election, it very well may destroy our nation. Hillary Clinton, along with the rest of her cabal, must face indictment and prosecution -- not election.

As of 7/5/16, State Dept. refuses to say whether Hillary, her aides, still have security clearance
By Sarah Westwood, Washington Examiner

Hours after FBI Director James Comey blasted Hillary Clinton and her aides for their "extremely careless" handling of classified information, the State Department rejected Comey's conclusion that the agency had a "lax culture" surrounding the treatment of sensitive material.

"We don't share the assessment that as an institution ... that the State Department has in the past or does today take lightly the issue of sensitive and classified information," agency spokesman John Kirby told reporters Tuesday. Comey had said earlier Tuesday that the "security culture" at State was found to be "lacking" during the FBI's year-long investigation into Clinton's private email use.

Agents discovered on Clinton's multiple servers 110 emails that should have been considered classified at the time they were written.

Kirby also refused to comment on whether Clinton and the handful of State Department aides who transmitted classified intelligence on her private network retained their security clearances in light of the FBI investigation into their activities.

The spokesman cited an agency policy preventing public comment on individual security clearances. The State Department may still take action against the individuals involved in the mishandling of classified intelligence, Kirby said."The department will determine the appropriate next steps following a decision by the Department of Justice," Kirby noted, referencing the fact that the Justice Department must officially rule on whether to accept Comey's recommendations.

"We have an administrative process to evaluate cases where information might have been mishandled," Kirby added. "At the request of the FBI, we didn't move forward with that process."

The agency spokesman refused to comment on contradictions exposed by the FBI, including the fact that he and other spokesmen had repeatedly argued no emails on Clinton's servers were ever marked classified when several were indeed marked as such.

Is this guy, Kendal, the lawyer who had a thumb drive in his office safe with Hillary’s emails? I am not sure how they retroactively gave him a Security Clearance. I gather from these posts that the Thumb Drive had SAP information on same. Is Kendal allowed to posses SAP information with only a Top Secret Clearance? Does he need this approval on a case by case basis? Is Hillary guilty of providing this SAP info to him? Just asking. A little confused.
