Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aides tried to use personal hand-held electronic devices inside areas used to store classified information, according to the just-released State Department inspector general report.
The Bureau of Diplomatic Security, the State Department’s security arm, told the inspector general that in March 2009 Mrs. Clinton rejected an offer from security officials to provide her with a secure government smartphone. “DS was informed that Secretary Clinton’s staff had been asking to use BlackBerry devices inside classified areas,” said the report, released late last month.
Another portion of the inspector general’s report states that Mrs. Clinton sought in late January 2009 to bring her BlackBerry into a secure area. Instead, State Department officials offered to set up a computer near her office desk to check emails, although the report says the stand-alone computer was never installed.
Classified areas are called SCIFs, for “sensitive compartment information facilities,” and are used by officials with security clearances to read secret or top-secret intelligence and other classified information. Security rules prohibit bringing in electronic devices like smartphones that could be used to photograph or copy secret documents or to take notes.
The facilities also are protected against external eavesdropping, and those entering are required to leave all phones and other hand-held electronic devices outside.
The report does not say whether Mrs. Clinton or her aides violated the ban on using smartphones inside the SCIFs. However, if she or her aides improperly used their BlackBerrys inside the SCIF, it could explain how classified information ended up on Mrs. Clinton’s private email server.

IIRC, the documents were never found. Pix of Burger’s messy desk showed up, though.
People all across network and cable news specifically said the Blind Sheikh would be freed by the end 2012...until 9/11 happened. Then, all talk stopped.
You are right about taking pictures with a smart phone. As far as USB ports, the military got burned by “Chelsie” manning, I would have to believe the military would have locked up all USB ports in a SCIF. DOS who knows. This group does not like to follow rules and be told what to do. They are above the law.
Remember the MSM’s ‘sloppy’ meme that went out in the aftermath of Berger’s theft?
They’ve already tried it with the email scandal. I heard some talking heads on CNN already saying this was just ‘sloppy’ mistakes on her part............they never change tactics. Their playbook has only one play in it...............
“Sandy Berger the former Clinton Administration National Security Advisor, said he made a “mistake” and was just “sloppy” when an FBI investigation revealed that he had stolen Top Secret memos and documents from the National Archives relating to the events surrounding al-Qaida attacks on America during the 1990s and in the year 2000.
Archive security notified the FBI when they discovered documents missing, and saw Berger stuffing papers into his pants, socks, and a leather briefcase.”

Burger was in the word-only documents.
Thanks
....was thinking red herring
I think that is pretty obvious. Huma and all the other Brotherhood people that Hussein has placed in the government. Trump had better clean all those out by March. They are dangerous. I am certain that Hussein is the actual de facto and probably de jure head of the Moslem Brotherhood In America.
no, Sandy Burglar said he destroyed the docs
another Clintonista scumbag who got away with so much

Well, unless that 'business' was selling American secrets and usable information for cold hard cash.

Oh she was definitely committing crimes.
By ‘hiding public business’, I a, referring to the initial crime of pro-actively taking actions to hide her emails from FOIA requests. That’s a crime.
Just today, Madeline Albright excused her actions because ‘nobody was killed’...you can see the goal post keeps getting moved from ‘it wasn’t secret’ to ‘it wasn’t marked secret’ etc all the way to ‘nobody was killed’.
The security status of the emails is still being investigated...but don’t let the left use that as a ‘get out of jail free card’. What we already know, with great certainty, is that she conducted 100% of her state dept business on a private server...meant to hide that business from the people. That initial crime should be enough to get her fined, lose law license, and never be granted a security clearance again (disqualifying her for president).
...you can see the goal post keeps getting moved from ‘it wasn’t secret’
to ‘it wasn’t marked secret’ etc
all the way to ‘nobody was killed’.
... thanks lacrew.
