Folsom Naval Reservist is Sentenced After Pleading Guilty to Unauthorized Removal and Retention of Classified Materials
U.S. Attorney’s Office
July 29, 2015
Eastern District of California (916) 554-2700
SACRAMENTO, CA—Bryan H. Nishimura, 50, of Folsom, pleaded guilty today to unauthorized removal and retention of classified materials, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman immediately sentenced Nishimura to two years of probation, a $7,500 fine, and forfeiture of personal media containing classified materials. Nishimura was further ordered to surrender any currently held security clearance and to never again seek such a clearance.
According to court documents, Nishimura was a Naval reservist deployed in Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008. In his role as a Regional Engineer for the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Nishimura had access to classified briefings and digital records that could only be retained and viewed on authorized government computers. Nishimura, however, caused the materials to be downloaded and stored on his personal, unclassified electronic devices and storage media. He carried such classified materials on his unauthorized media when he traveled off-base in Afghanistan and, ultimately, carried those materials back to the United States at the end of his deployment. In the United States, Nishimura continued to maintain the information on unclassified systems in unauthorized locations, and copied the materials onto at least one additional unauthorized and unclassified system.
Nishimura’s actions came to light in early 2012, when he admitted to Naval personnel that he had handled classified materials inappropriately. Nishimura later admitted that, following his statement to Naval personnel, he destroyed a large quantity of classified materials he had maintained in his home. Despite that, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation searched Nishimura’s home in May 2012, agents recovered numerous classified materials in digital and hard copy forms. The investigation did not reveal evidence that Nishimura intended to distribute classified information to unauthorized personnel.
This case was the product of an investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Jean M. Hobler prosecuted the case.

Wow. You could not create a more identical set of facts if you had written them up.
and no recourse
Yeah but he didn’t have a few hundred million to throw around....mostly foreign money too
Mere peasant does not deserve to be in the same sentence with the Queen B.
No, that is like NONE, NADA, department of our corrupt government is now to be trusted, save for the military.
And yes, I would gladly accept rule by ANYONE in our military. ALL OF WHOM are more educated, more moral and much more trustworthy than the bitch.
Sorry, folks, but if she gets in, the military will be only solution.

I would like to see a speech at the Republican National Convention begin with the words:
“Hello, my name is Bryan Nishimura, and I am a convicted felon....”
Would that be the military leadership appointed, promoted and not relieved in the last eight years?
How come this sleazy fat whore hillary gets to skate?
See? Because it actually happened, that is why Comey could not find it, which is exactly what he said. If it had never happened, then he *would* have found it, but then it would have turned out differently and thereby turn into being non-applicable. Get it yet?
[ Exact same Hillary document scenario occurred last year to a FBI agent w/”no ill intent”...indicted. ]
If only he had included some emails about yoga.....
And gotten rid of the damning Benghazi emails.
Oh wait, that was Hillary......
someone's pants are on fire!
You want justice? you won’t get in this country. The director of the fbi, a corrupt and discredited agency, deliberately and intentionally, with full knowledge and awareness, under orders from the unqualified and corrupt president, treated hillary differently from Nishimura, thus trapping himself in a lie. He needs to resign and we need to elect Trump.
The uneven application of the law renders it invalid. Selective enforcement. Remember that ACLU?
My only weapon is the WORD. They can $h!t on us but they can’t shut us up.
Except that the National Guard guy did not have stolen Top Secret, Compartmentalized Special Access Program information on his hard drive.
The SAP information is so secret, sensitive and restricted, the FBI will not even confirm nor deny whether Hillary had appropriate security clearance to look at such information
