First rule of handling classified materials:
NEVER take them home!
They should be securely handled in designated facilities.
Second rule of handling classified materials: never email them with an AOL email account ...
There are some highh-level people with permission to take it home. But in that case they will have a safe and alarm system. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bolton was one of those people WHEN HE WORKED FOR THE GOVERNMENT as National Security Advisor. Now there is no reason to keep it and absolutely no reason to distribute it ever.
I was with a friend who was at a very high clearance level. He opened his briefcase once and went pale. He inadvertently brought a classified document home. He stopped our conversation and locked it in his safe then told me he’d report himself in the morning.
That’s a rule for the “little people.” That does not apply to the anointed people like Hillary or Bolton.
I had a high level security clearance in the USAF and the point about having a “need to know” was pounded into our heads with little signs about it posted everywhere.
You simply don’t go looking at stuff you don’t need to know, even if have clearance for that level of info.
And to share that info with people who not only have no need to know... but possess no clearance in the first place.
Well... that’s just stupid. Bolton is a complete idiot.
