FBI director's assessment that Clinton was extremely careless is 'disqualifying'
A former White House counsel believes Hillary Clinton should have her security clearance revoked due to the FBI’s assessment that she was “extremely careless” with classified information as secretary of state.
C. Boyden Gray, who worked in the White House as legal counsel for both President Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, said that Clinton should no longer receive daily intelligence briefings after FBI Director James Comey revealed the agency’s finding from its investigation that she was “extremely careless” with “very sensitive, highly classified information.”
“I don’t recall ever giving a security clearance to somebody that has been found to have been extremely careless in the handling of sensitive material,” Gray said to the Washington Free Beacon. “It would be impossible to do.”
If Clinton is elected president this November, she will not be required to have a security clearance for access to top secret information, but that is not yet the case. Although it has been customary for candidates from both parties to receive security briefings during the election, Gray said an exception should be made for Clinton.
“The rules about security clearances, just like the rules about ethics themselves, don’t apply to presidents,” Gray said. “Right now she is just a candidate and she is receiving classified hearings. I just don’t know how they can continue.”
“I think there is a question about whether she can qualify today or tomorrow for the daily intelligence briefings that she is getting,” Gray added.

Barack Obama AND his staff should not get intelligence briefings.
By all rights, she should be getting “New INMATE Briefings” instead of anything else. Bitch belongs in jail.

And have Big Bertha as her cellmate!
He never attends them anyway.
Barack Obama AND his staff should not get intelligence briefings.
when did they ever go to them ?
Wow, Hillary and Intelligence in the same sentence.
What difference at this point does it make?
I met Gray in 96 at a fundraiser. I went because Mary Matilin was there but had a good conversation about Clinton abuse of whitehouse intern. He is a legal expert with moral standing.
I agree with clearance issue, once having the top ones myself and scared shitless that I would make a mistake to lose my job.
Put FBI Director Comey on that list.
This will not matter to those who will vote democrat. They do not pay any attention to the facts. They, instead are enamored with the cute little sayings and catchphrases that the democrats come up with before an election. If they paid any attention, the democrats would get so few votes, they would straighten out immediately.
