Clinton Emails So Secret Some Lawmakers Can't Read Them

Some of Hillary Clinton's emails on her private server contained information so secret that senior lawmakers who oversee the State Department cannot read them without fulfilling additional security requirements, Fox News has learned.

The emails in question, as Fox News first reported earlier this week, contained intelligence classified at a level beyond "top secret." Because of this designation, not all the lawmakers on key committees reviewing the case have high enough clearances.

A source with knowledge of the intelligence review told Fox News that senior members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, despite having high-level clearances, are among those not authorized to read the intelligence from so-called "special access programs" without taking additional security steps -- like signing new non-disclosure agreements.

These programs are highly restricted to protect intelligence community sources and methods.

Fox News is told that the reviewers who handled the SAP intelligence identified in Clinton's emails had to sign additional non-disclosure agreements even though they already have the highest level of clearance -- known as TS/SCI or Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented information. This detail was first reported by NBC News.

Nothing to see here....literally.

You might want to ping your MI list to this post.

The legislators should just check with the 22 y.o. server admin who just graduated college if they need detailed content info.

Requirements needs to be defined. I would put that need right up there with the need to get a definition of ‘natural born’. (heavy sarcasm intended)

“Classification so high, only the enemy knows what is contained in these documents.”

Used to be a standing joke among some of my compatriots, back when I was serving in the USAF (1956-1960)

Somebody owes the Rosenbergs an apology.

Kinda weird how when I needed a clearance, it took months to be processed and yet the day after being sworn in some of these assclowns have instant access. How long did it take to clear the lyin’ king? I guess he was beyond reproach. Had I done drugs, as admitted by the lyin’ king, I’m thinkin’ my access most likely would have been denied.

Even the Intelligence Community Inspector General had to acquire higher-level clearances to read these emails.

[Slyfox]

Hillary is in the area of "If I told you I would have to kill you" category.

Well, there already is a Clinton Body Count.

I have copies. I got her BCC: list somehow??

[NorthMountain]

The Rosenbergs got what they deserved.

What’s needed, here, is to make certain that Hillary Rodham Clinton and all her conspirators get what THEY deserve.

[DCBryan1]

Yep...and STILL no media mention of her "Q clearance" violations (Critical Nuclear Weapon Design Clearance). That has the harshest penalty with the least amount of effort. Life in prison up to Death under the Atomic Energy Act and its amendments.

Hillary Clinton is a lying, thieving, killing, dirty little snot.

[faithhopecharity]

And her server computer was housed in a stranger’s toilet?

[Slyfox]

The Rosenbergs dealt in a little espionage for pay. What Hillary has done is off the charts.

[Talisker]

TS/SAP on a private server open to the internet?

That’s literally incomprehensible.

It’s cigarette and blindfold time.

[VerySadAmerican]

I’ve never understood how someone who can’t pass the minimum clearance can get appointed to some position and is automatically allowed to see everything.

Every presidential appointee should have to pass a top secret clearance investigation before even being considered by the senate.

[Navy Patriot]

Hillary Clinton is a lying, thieving, killing, dirty little snot. Who will not spend one day in prison.

Why don't they just read the versions she had on her server after she stripped the markings off them?
