State Department Finds No Evidence Clinton, or Top Aides, Completed Mandatory Ethics Training
breitbart.com ^ | 8/19/2016 | John Hayward

Posted on 08/19/2016 9:18:17 AM PDT by rktman

The State Department was unable to find any records showing that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton completed ethics training courses, as required by federal law.

Furthermore, no documentation was found for a bevy of top Clinton aides, including names familiar from the Clinton email scandal, such as Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan, Dennis Cheng, Anne Marie Slaughter, Phillippe Reines, Caitlin Klevorick, and Kris Bladerston.

The lack of ethics documentation was revealed by the Republican National Committee, which had to squeeze the admission out of the State Department with a lawsuit, after the department failed to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request. The RNC noted there is documentary evidence that Abedin was “notified by a State Department official in January 2013 that she had not completed her required annual ethics training,” and after some confusion, she promised to go online to complete the training, but State could find no evidence she actually did so.

This story may be true, there has never been any sign of any training in ethics in Hillery at any time in her life.

Rotten and spoiled from the cradle.

Somewhere in the bowels of the State Department is a bureaucrat whose job it is to ensure that all State Department employees attend ethics training, and he/she is going to be fired now for dereliction of duty.

No one cares in DC.

They are too busy 1) keeping themselves EXEMPT
and 2) arming al Qaeda,
and 3) empowering the IRS-ObamaCARE tyranny (from which
they, their staffs, and their families are EXEMPT)
to care.

This is TREASON, run by Ryan-the-Globalist and
Obama-the-unvettedMoslem and McConnell who is below
all slime as they allowed slavery, rape, and crucifixion
to run wild around the planet.

Why would they need to take irrelevant training? The word has no meaning to them , anyway.

Somewhere in the bowels of the State Department sits the empty desk of the poor bureaucrat who insisted Hillary attend an ethics training course.

Ethics training for Clinton&Co would be like holy water for a devil.

For normal humans in DOD/IC, failing to complete the various mandatory ethics etc. training would ultimately lead to ‘job action’, including possible loss of the job. IOW “you’re fired!”

oh, well... if they didn’t go to the briefing... then how could they know placing classified materials in unsecured locations would violate national security and place the country, and its operatives, in jeopardy?

it’s not like she had been an attorney or anything where she is expected to understand sensitive and secret information.

nor was she anywhere near government operations, like the whitehouse, where she would know about such things as national security

i mean, come on... she was only the secretary of state...

Donald and Hillary go into a bakery together on the campaign trail. As soon as they enter the bakery, Hillary steals three pastries and puts them in her pocket. She says to Donald, “See how clever I am? The owner didn’t see anything, and I don’t even need to lie.” I will definitely win the election.

The Donald says to Hillary, “That’s the typical dishonesty, trickery and deceit you have displayed throughout your entire life and career. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same result.”

Donald goes to the owner of the bakery and says, “Give me a pastry and I will show you a magic trick.”

Intrigued, the owner gives him a pastry.
Trump swallows it and asks for another one.
The owner gives him another one. He eats it.
Then Donald asks for a third pastry and eats that, too.
The owner is starting to wonder where the magic trick is and asks, “What did you do with the pastries?”

Trump replies, “Look in Hillary’s pocket.”

Hillary Clinton put her signature to an actual contract that is tantamount to all the rest of the documents or lack of documents in legally saying that the buck stopped with her on the vital issue of State Department document/information security: See link below the 4th paragraph that follows:

After assuming responsibility for the security of State Department information, she herself brazenly violated those very laws and regulations at a dizzying speed and with complete abandon - with her aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills making this technically possible.

She was and is nothing short of treasonous, and with the protection of the highest law enforcement official of the land, Loretta Lynch, a standing outlaw from justice.

So, is that meant as an excuse? As in, you can’t expect her to do the right thing because she, the SoS, wasn’t properly trained?
