Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton entrusted her email server to an IT firm that was not cleared to handle classified materials, according to the chief spokesman for the Defense Security Service.
The DSS is an arm of the Defense Department and is the only federal agency authorized to approve private sector company access to sensitive or confidential material.
The agency reviews and approves private contractors to assure they have secure facilities and approves security clearances for employees to clear them for access to sensitive or classified materials.
Since 2013, Clinton used Platte River Networks, a small Denver-based company, to upgrade and maintain her private email server at her home in Chappaqua, New York.
About 13,000 companies have received FCL or facility-wide clearance. But Platte River is not one of them.
“Platte River is not cleared” to have access to classified material, stated Cindy McGovern, chief public affairs officer for DSS in a telephone interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, told the DCNF that the Platte River involvement “raises serious questions” about the security surrounding Secretary Clinton’s server over the last two years.
“The revelation that Secretary Clinton used a private company, Platte River Networks, to maintain her personal server raises questions about what steps the company took to preserve and secure sensitive information in Secretary Clinton’s email,” Johnson said.
The DSS provides clearances to 30 federal departments and agencies, including the State Department.
Alex McGeorge, the head of threat intelligence at the IT cybersecurity firm Immunity told The DCNF that all facilities approved for access to classified materials need a “SCIF” — or Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility — also known as a hardened room.
“It’s a room that is resistant to eavesdropping and unauthorized entry limited to personnel with security clearances. That would be a room that where data coming in and out of the room is tightly controlled,” he said.
According to the Associated Press, the intelligence community inspector general reported to Congress Monday that Hillary’s emails contained at least two messages with information considered Top Secret.
For servers that contain Top Secret information, “you would have to have very compartmentalized clearance to see. Those standards are much higher,” McGeorge said.
The DSS current mission is carried out under the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), the rules of which were established by President Clinton in 1993 with Executive Order 12829.
Sure she did...and Billy too you can count on it...
Now the real reason is why? What has she been up to she doesn't want revealed?.....along with those who assisted in this?
Might have to do with a whole slew of money laundering and other "criminal activity
Regardless of whether zero knew what Hillary! Was up to, she was HIS SOS and he is responsible just like they would hold Bush responisble
For his people.
And they would have perserved the evidence and notified the FBI. As it is, now everyone around Clinton who emailed her to her private email server, is in violation of Misprison of Felony (failure to report a felony).
In the United States, misprision of felony is a crime. Title 18 section 4
Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
I mean, I’m no graduate of the Harvard Business School, BUT...
Sitting Secretary of State, gotta assume she has daily access to a whole lot of classified material. Fifteen years of tales about the shady dealings of she and her husband. I would have done my little cost-benefit analysis and said “No Thank You!”
Mr President....Barry baby....pick up the phone....you have an urgent message from your attorney....
Excellent point. So much motive. Anyone else would choose to just end it all.
I’ve been thinking about that commercial these past few days. I would hope that the RNC, regardless of who their preferred RINO candidate is, would, out of a deep love for their country, prepare an ad that drives home the point that she is too stupid, or inept, or knowledgeable of technology to be trusted to be the next POTUS who is charged with protecting the secrets of our nation from our enemies.
I’m sure it’s just wishful thinking though...
They better use a HAZMAT suit.
She has accepted BIG money from all over the world to facilitate her being the next President. If she is out expect to never see or hear from her ever again.

If she does?
Will she rat out Obozo?
Does She know enough to bring him down? My bet is yes.
Watch what happens then - I don't care who they are, I don't care what they command, IT *ALWAYS* has a CYA - ESPECIALLY when told to obliterate something.
IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT, CLAP YOUR HANDS
Is the server down in Sandy Berger’s pants?

Is that where Hillary had kept it?
And is he the one who swept it?

re: The Hildabeast and Obama:
Remember, they HATE each other!
Was there competitive bidding?
Certainly this was not something that would qualify for a Sole Source Contract award.
Most excellent!
