Back when I was in the military, if I had mishandled classified information on my home computer, they would have visited me in force, confiscated everything for further analysis/prosecution, and thrown the proverbial book at me. Of course, I’m little people.
Amazing that such intentional and fully informed illegality can occur at the highest levels in our government with the perps walking away immune from prosecution and the perp in chief, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, basically untouchable. Even worse, she’s potentially the next President of the United States! That is banana republic level governance, my FRiends.
If you just looking at the responses from Hillary (literally hundreds of them)....you come to this odd moment where you realize it’s the commentary or answers that a 13-year old girl would give you in response to admitting they did wrong, over and over, and over. Maturity-wise, I don’t think she stands in the same circle as you or I.
I watched an interview back at the end of 2012....live interview for about an hour, on German TV (she’d come over to advertise her book). The responses to the questions had no substance or filling-material. A person who has served as Secretary of State and Senator....basically an empty suit for the most part.
Would like to see a direct question to Hillary about “that other” e-mail system where the classified information was posted. According to the FBI and others she did not have a .gov account. But apparently she had a gmail.com address. ;)
When she applied for the job she had to go through some fairly serious hoops to get qualified. some of those hoops required serious looking people to interview not only most of us in her family but her friends and their families as well. One of the severe looking interviewers sported a badge and a gun and worked for one of those alphabet agencies whose name starts with "F" and ends with "I". After the Hillary story broke on the Private Email server there was much joking around her work until they had a mandatory meeting on the subject of handling sensitive materials (the section where she works routinely handles docs that are stamped with monikers like top secret etc.)
They went through the entire book on how to handle these docs again at this meeting (took hours) and then had a Q&A at the end. Someone asked about the Hillary private server and what would happen if someone working here had done the same.
The bosses and the rep from the DOE who was at the meeting explained the minimum results would be loss of job and most likely a life time ban from working in a position to handle such docs ever again.
If it was found that any of the docs had been nabbed by anyone outside the system prosecution and imprisonment was the most likely outcome. They finished the event by reminding everyone this was no joke.
I remember back in 1977 at the Navy Annex in London - a heavily guarded facility - a yeoman failed to lock a safe containing classified information. He was reduced in rank!
They are pursuing some too big to fail mentality to not arrest all of them.
You would be taking down the top levels of government.
Which I have no problem with by the way.
But, but, but, i thought those little letters (C) and (S) and (TS) and (TS/this will burn your eyes) were just outline ....[report from gunshot....sound of crickets chirping].
She argues like a sea-lawyer / barracks lawyer
The government of this country is a foul joke. I read that dumbo, who learns everything from the news, communicated on Illiary’s server under a pseudonym.
Corrupt to the core is what this government is. Like a house too far gone to remodel it needs to be torn down.
So true. Every employee of the US gov is taught about the handling of different classifications of documents and proper handling procedure. They are also informed of the consequences of not following SOP.
The higher level of gov, the more worrisome if that person is domestic threat due to the level of power and the amount of serious information they are accessible to.
This whole ‘I can’t recall’ excuse of hers is a national embarrassment. It reminds me of Bill Cosbys “I don’t know” skit. But, she’s not 6 years old. Everyone involved needs to be held accountable now.
Good point. I had a Top Secret Crypto security clearance when I served and if I had accidentally removed a classified document from our secure Center, I’d still be making little rocks out of big rocks at Leavenworth.
