I did not intend to leave a single page of a classified message on my desk inside my secure office in the Pentagon.
Security did an overnight sweep of offices chosen at random, found the classified message on my desk and when I returned to work on Monday, I was interviewed by security and had to receive a couple hours re-training on the handling of classified material. They were not amused.
Since I had a TS clearance since 1984, I already knew the rules but unintentionally left a single page of a classified document on my desk and was threatened that if I ever did that again, my clearance would be revoked and potential charges may be filed. . .all for ONE piece of classified data (a weather forecast for a select country that would affect “things”).
Yet, hitlery and huma gets away with THOUSANDS of classified information/messages being tossed around willy-nilly over an open unsecured hacked server.
Key-rist.
I served as an E3-E5 in the US Army in Germany, and held a Secret clearance because of my work assignment.
I was continually grilled by my superiors, as to my understanding. I held what some might consider a cushy job, but with conditions.
I worked 6 days a week, and finished reports by 11 am. Then cover the office during regular lunch hour.
Then I was practically free to roam the post, photo lab, library, even occasionally leave the post early.
But that freedom came with the cost of soberly doing my job, including observing the confidential nature of it.
The idea of behaving like Hillary and her staff did while in the employment of the State Department and ignoring Security is beyond the Pale, in my experience.
It does go to show how the Clintons (and others like them, Obamas) come to be like royalty.
If Republicans were smart on these intelligence committee interviews, they would march in 100’s of people who were fired, lost their clearance all from no intent, but simply a mishandling. But like I said if they were smart.
Hillary if no intent should have been charged with at least mishandling classified information.
