CIA Director George J. Tenet announced yesterday that he has suspended the security clearance of his predecessor, John M. Deutch, for violating government rules by working with classified material on an unsecured computer at his home.
The unprecedented action against a widely respected and still powerful former official comes at a time of heightened concern over foreign espionage and the handling of classified information. It was clearly intended as a signal that the federal government, and the CIA in particular, is determined to tighten security.
Tenet said in a one-page statement that he decided to suspend Deutch's clearance for an indefinite period "upon consideration of the nature of the security violations involved and Dr. Deutch's responsibility, as leader of the Intelligence Community, to set the highest standards in the protection of classified information."
"While serving as Director of Central Intelligence I erred in using CIA-issued computers that were not configured for classified work to compose classified documents and memoranda," Deutch said. "While it was absolutely necessary for me to work at home and while on travel, in hindsight it is clear that I should have insisted that I be provided the means of accomplishing this work in a manner fully consistent with all the security rules."

Do you not know the Clinton Crime Family is above the law? Shame on you.
Look, Chick Colson went to jail for having one EffB-eye file.
The Clintons had hundreds — and they were not even arrested
Find out what the top secret satellite images are and it would be a lot easier to figure out just who Hillary was providing the images to.
My money is on ISIS.
They had a lot of information from somebody when they made their move into Iraq.
I wonder how long the CIA has known about this? I suspect information about Deutch is coming out now, because Obama wants to nail Hillary, and doesn’t want this potentially high profile case getting disclosed in an uncontrolled manner.
This article appeared in 1999. It created a minor scandal for the Clinton Administration. I reprinted it because of the parallels with Hillary’s case.

I think it’s not the subject of the images that’s closely guarded but qualities of the image indicating how much visual detail the vehicle can detect from space.
Hillary had the classified designation removed from the doc so she could pass the info to someone and if caught she would have plausible deniability and claim she didn’t know the info was classified.
To narrow it down to just who she was passing the info to you need to know what the satellite images were of.
