You’re right about the “misspent youth” aspect of clearance. I went to college in the early 70s with all that entailed. I had to take a polygraph and got all the expected questions, several of which were answered in the affirmative. But I passed because I didn’t hide anything from them. The interesting part was that, on the sexual encounter side of things, I left there thinking that I could have had relations with anyone I wanted as long as they were American women. No men, no foreigners. My wife would have had a problem with it, but apparently the government and my security officer would have been OK with it. That cracked me up at the time.
How about as a sitting United States Senator. No one seems to be talking about this but she had to have access to Secret or Top Secret materials in that position as well. If she's been keeping all correspondence privately then wouldn't that correspondence be equally vulnerable?
> Hmmm 12 yrs in Submarines, Qualified Sonar Supervisor, Secret Control PO during the Walker hoopla, holding Higher than TS, this is all basic stuff. But wait, I’m a regular person...not a Clinton hahaha
As on Q?
I agree fully with this assessment. I was in the 372nd Army Security Agency. The level of honor and integrity was the highest of any job I ever held. The background investigations and the follow up of security was incredible. However still EM and Officers lost their clearances for minor infractions. Hillary’s violations bring dishonor to those who were upstanding and honest. She has cheapened the level of the clearance, the office of any kind of security and tarnished the name of the United States of America. She makes Benedict Arnold look innocent with her sale of the Uranium fields, and Private Manning look like a boy scout with her security breaches. I am ashamed that she was trusted with secrets and she blew that trust and compromised our security.
I would do anything to help the FBI bring her to Justice
I love it that her use of private email is now known to the world because of a hacker.
And she admits she NEVER used an official .gov email, right? If that’s the case everyone in government who got an email from her is guilty of something.
“I held a Top Secret clearance at the State Department for 24 years and was regularly trained in protecting information as part of that privilege.”
Dear Mr. Van Buren:
IF that is true then you know that you should not be advertising it, you FRIGGIN’ FOOL! You are just as bad as Hitlery!
Military prison time!!!
Not if he had to truthfully fill out the pile of government forms I did plus the in-person background investigation by a federal agent going to my hometown. I was the subject of all that just to get a commission as a Field Artillery officer with nuclear weapons clearances back in the 1970s. The One would be exposed to the center of his Commie-raised core and summarily denied access to such important materials as the Army recipe for Sh*t on a Shingle.
Hillary is probably the one that leaked the classified info about the terrorist attack that was planned for NYC in 2005.
Mayor Bloomberg got the leaked info and popped his mouth off about the planned attack even though Bush had asked him not to.
You also should mention 32 CFR makes the Secretary responsible for information systems security...
She was individually accountable for the entire department, and yet employed an unapproved and unaccountable system for her private use.
For those interested, please look up 32 CFR 2001.41, .42, .45, .46
As an agency head she was responsible for individually for department policy. As an information user she was responsible individually to protect and preserve the information.
No normal person, hell not even GEN Petraeus, could do what she did and get away with it.
It’s called “spillage” and yes it is a very big deal.
You are correct. I spent almost 5 years as a GS-11 doing security background investigations for DIS and any lies on the security questionnaire or found during the background investigation would, at the minimum, result in months of delays in the completion of the case. One guy I investigated was up for a TS at a warehouse that handled materials for a secret aircraft manufacturer and lied about his wife’s background, (she was a Vietnamese refugee), and about his receiving welfare money for her under her maiden name. He never got the clearance because of this.
“Not knowing” would be an unexpected defense from a person with years of government experience.
The Clintons never displayed the ability to tell right from wrong. Deny, deny, deny
Personal is irrelevent with regard to classified information. A personal system should not be used for ANY official government business, even unclassified business.
The day before Obama leaves the Whtie house, she will get a full pardon and immunity from any future charges.
Sadly, Hillary always plays to the low-information voters, who might buy that if she didn’t know she had classified information on her home server, she’s innocent. That whole spiel about how she wanted to simplify her life by only carrying one device was a classic from her, it seems.
This EVIL MONSTROUS BITCH ON WHEELS would have us rubes believe that carrying 2 phones was just too hard a task.

“When Hillary Clinton began her term as secretary of state in 2009, she thought it would be “easier,” “better,” “simpler” and more convenient to “carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two,” she said repeatedly at a news conference today, with slight variations in wording.
“Looking back, it would’ve been better for me to use two separate phones and two email accounts,” Clinton told reporters at the United Nations. “I thought using one device would be simpler and, obviously, it hasn’t worked out that way.
Well put.
Lucy, see post 12.
What must she do for him to get that pardon?
It will come with a price.
