Comey: Clinton gave non-cleared people access to classified information
The Politico ^ | July 7, 2016 | Nick Gass

Hillary Clinton granted non-cleared people access to classified information, FBI Director James Comey testified Thursday.

But he could not definitively confirm that those with access, in this particular instance, her attorneys, had actually read the classified material, and a spokesman for Clinton sharply contested the assertion.

“Did Secretary Clinton's attorneys have the security clearances needed?” Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) asked Comey, who responded, “They did not.”

Asked whether that concerned him, the FBI director said, “Oh yeah, sure.”

But Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon tweeted, “To be clear, the lawyers who sorted through Clinton's emails had Top Secret-level clearance."

Clinton’s personal attorney David Kendall said last August that he received Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance from the Justice Department in November 2013 and a Top Secret clearance from State in the year that followed. In the same letter, Kendall said that his law partner, Katherine Turner, received State clearance in September 2014.

“These State Department security clearances remain active. We obtained them in order to be able to review documents at the Department of State, to assist former Secretary Clinton in preparing to testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi,” Kendall wrote in the letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who wrote to Secretary of State John Kerry to say that Kendall's clearance was inadequate....

Someone should slap the teeth out of Brian Fallon's lying face...

I don’t believe anything Comey says anymore. He has ZERO credibility.

To get down to brass tacks. Hillary gave continuous access to classified information to Huma Abedin and did so for 20 years. Huma was raised Muslim Brotherhood, worked for the Muslim Brotherhood at the while. Comey made the wrong decision for the USA. From now on, the hallowed U.S. terms “rule of law” and “equal justice under the law” ring hollow.

Which, as you and I *BOTH* know, is only half of the equation, 2DV. What about the *other* half, you know the one, the one labeled "need to know"?

Oh...that makes perfect sense.

She gave classified material to non-cleared people...

But we don't know if they actually read it.

Because he doesn't know if they actually read it, he doesn't think Hillary should be tried.

That’s why it’s called “compartmentalized” information.

I truly don’t think she can survive this politically. She’s toxic.

When Don Trump tried to compare Hillary's treatment to that of General Petraeus, blow-hard Bill O'Reilly immediately shut him down, saying "that was different, Petraeus passed classified info to his girlfriend."

Trump didn't go any further with it.

Now I guess it's not different.

There are dozens of parties who should be charged.
-Cintons lawyers deleted 30,000 emails they determined weren’t work related. They claim they didn’t read them but used an algorithm. This is to protect them from charges of reading classified info. They subsequently asked for and received top security clearances. The reality is they read each and every email. It is all lies. The FBI director would be involved in all these negotiations with them.
-somebody please give me the name of the law firm and a list of partners.

That would be amazing, but I think she will.

However, it's not going to end with this. She's left a path of chaos and destruction a mile wide.

Trump has his sources.

“To be clear, the lawyers who sorted through Clinton's emails had Top Secret-level clearance."

And when they finished, they deleted everything not handed over to the Fed's and scrubbed the hard drives.

When are those attorneys going to be prosecuted, disbarred and thrown in jail for destruction of evidence?

Lets just say it right. Clinton sold classified matrial content to the highest bidder paying the Clinton Foundation. I mean why don’t people just say it instead of trim around it?
