David Kendall, the lawyer who had a thumb drive in his office safe is not a govt employee---and has no clearance to view SAP.

Politico reported 07/30/15 that Kendall, Hillary Clinton’s private lawyer, has a thumb drive containing classified information from as many as five U.S. intelligence agencies — but the State Department told POLITICO the law firm is taking “appropriate measures” to secure the files.

The agency declined to detail steps made to protect the sensitive information in attorney David Kendall’s possession, but the issue is raising concern among Republicans on Capitol Hill who’ve criticized Clinton’s handling of the email controversy. The thumb drive has copies of emails Clinton kept on a private server while she served as secretary of state, a trove now known to contain classified documents.

The agency told POLITICO that Clinton “does have counsel with clearance.” Kendall, a prominent Williams & Connolly attorney who defended former CIA director David Petraeus against charges of mishandling classified information, declined to comment.

Clinton’s campaign echoed the State Department. “The thumb drive is secure,” said Nick Merrill, a spokesman for the Democratic front-runner’s presidential campaign, referring questions to state.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has asked the FBI to confirm that the thumb drive has been secured. “This raises very serious questions and concerns if a private citizen is somehow retaining classified information,” Grassley’s said in a letter sent late last week. He asked for more information on Kendall’s clearance and whether the lawyer was authorized to “be the custodian of classified national security information.” The FBI has not yet responded.

Unbelievable~

It’s no wonder this ‘woman’ smells so rotten. She’s one bad apple. This list will grow just as the Arkancide list has grown through the decades. Another ream of paper please.

These people associated with HILLARY knew they would never be in trouble for what they were doing. No consequences because they owned everybody who could’ve done anything about it. Except Scalia...
