Who is responsible for taking inventory on such items?

The same people who keep track of the White House furniture and silver service?

Until they bring the hammer down on Hilary for mixing sensitive information with personal, using a computer in her basement that was ultimately hacked, and al;l the others that have done the same, they can’t do anything, or prove anything, on him. Can’t be selective. He’s just one of many.

Get a FISA warrant to use it to spy on him, then catch him for Treason and give him the Mussolini treatment.

"The government would never transmit classified materials over WiFi, ever."

You misspelled "should".

There is speculation in this thread that Obambi took his Secure iPad that had government security access with him when he left office, a big no-no, just as Hillary was allowed to keep her Top Secret and beyond Security Clearance and access, supposedly to help her write her memoir, after she left her Secretary of State position. I do not see any definitive proof of such a fact, but it is possible. If so, it would be possible for those in charge of such a secure iPad to remotely wipe and brick it, if it were in the possession of someone no longer authorized to possess it. That's the whole idea of Apple's security. I did that with some Apple devices stolen in a burglary from my office last fall, rendering them useless for resale except as a source of spare parts. — PING!

Maybe all the reporting about Obama taking computers out of the West Wing was about this Ipad. I’m sure he’s created copies on other tablets to give to ValJar, Holder, etc. who also enjoy perfect SATCOM security.

Thankfully, all of that leaves an electronic paper trail.

And don't forget......now Trump controls US intel.

“Simple. Disable the account which should have been done the day he separated from government “service.””

And then arrest him. Humiliate him with an orange suit perp walk in front of cameras. Use a search warrant to go through his homes, his possessions, all computers, all bank accounts. Try him. Convict him. Imprison him. Take away his pension, perks, secret service protection.

Not that I hold a grudge or anything.

Even John Kerry was using iPads to send e-mails:

[ “Emails released by the State Department on Friday show that in 2011, then-Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry sent then-Sec. of State Hillary Clinton an email from his iPad that has been deemed to contain information classified as Secret.

“The kicker is that Kerry sent Clinton the information from his iPad, a communications device that would have been much more vulnerable to hackers than an encrypted communications system.”]

Other things you can learn from DCMemo:

Barron Trump could be next family member to join White House as Cyber Czar

Senate Democrats will read Koran during Gorsuch filibuster

Hillary will be the next mayor of New York

Stop posting fake news.

These idiots have as much access to "White House Insiders" as you or I do.

Yes and no. Your post is essentially correct but recall what we learned from Hillary’s Server fiasco.

The Hildebeast had underlings strip the gist of official transmissions from their classified signage and resend to her using private email over WiFi. She defeated the security measures that were in place to protect the classified materials and used her official government status to accomplish it.

I agree! Barry, you are no longer a teenager.

Can you imagine if President Trump were to wear a MAGA cap backwards? IInconceivable.

Ok so you can hardline an iPad if you buy a bunch of silly accessories. I don’t see Obama having the intellectual know how to get it to work. Which brings me back to my point of the US Government does not use Wifi for their classified networks.

Nope. Classified networks are not configured with wireless access points. No WIFI.

Yes, but that had nothing to do with WiFi. The details were likely copied over from the classified network via removable storage (not WiFi), stripped of any relevant markings and sent.

Jeez, if I mistakenly went home with a pair of handcuffs, or a set of keys from work, I’d get a call from the arsenal officer, and would have to go all the way back to turn them in. Here Obama takes a top secret iPad, and nobody says “boo?”
