An unnamed “senior aide” to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton left classified information unsecured and unattended in a hotel room during a 2010 trip to China, one of several overseas lapses by Clinton’s inner circle, Fox News has learned.

Confirmation of the alarming violation comes as Clinton herself is under a renewed FBI probe for mishandling sensitive information on a private server and her longtime senior aide, Huma Abedin, also faces scrutiny as part of the investigation. It was not known which of Clinton’s aides left the information exposed.

I read in Vanity Fair that Huma Abedin is Dead Drop Gorgeous.

Well, she it gorgeous.

It depends, many times, how she applied her makeup that day, the angle and perspective of the camera and just the right lighting.

‘I looked for all the devices that may have any of my State Department work on it and returned — returned — gave them to my attorneys for them to review for all relevant documents. And gave them devices and paper,’ Abedin said.

Asked what devices she handed over, Abedin replied: ‘If memory serves me correctly, it was two laptops, a BlackBerry, and some files that I found in my apartment, Abedin said.

So what were you doing with “Classified” Material in paper form or on a non government computer?

That is a crime, others have been prosecuted for and found guilty.

“Ultimately, Diplomatic Security concluded that classified information had been improperly secured, but that the evidence did not support assigning culpability to any individual. Furthermore, the Diplomatic Security investigation concluded that due to the fact that the documents were found within a Diplomatic Security controlled area, the likelihood that the information was compromised was remote.”

This is patent bullshit, IMO. Any competent security official would never make a determination like this if this occurred in China. It is always the job to assume the worst. They mention Top Secret information here. That level is for information if revealed or disclosed to uncleared persons/countries could cause "exceptionally grave harm or damage to the United States." You don't conclude what they did in this instance.
