EmailGate is very, very bad.
The mere presence of SAP material on her "private" email server is a federal offense -- and should be. Sometimes described as "above top secret" these programs are no-BS "need to know" and you must be read into each one individually, then you must access whatever material is involved in a secured facility from which that material may not leave. There is no such thing as "having access to them" on a general basis, no matter who you are.
These programs typically deal with human intelligence of some form -- an agent on the ground in a foreign nation employed in a very sensitive role and operation. Divulging the material will cause great harm to national security, usually will get people killed outright and might start a war -- literally. That's not hyperbole -- it's real and is no joke.
That Hillary is reported to have had this material on her server means that at least two serious felonies occurred. First, the person who caused it to be there committed a serious federal offense, since there is literally no possible way for it to happen without multiple breaches of security protocols to have taken place sequentially, acts that cannot happen by accident.
Second, for Hillary to not immediately report same and deal with the fallout is a second federal offense.
And by the way, if Bill had access to it then he's in trouble too (and he probably did, and is.)
There are people who have a namby-pamby view of the world and who think that programs like this have no place in a civil society. Well, you're wrong. Other nations use them and we both do and have since our founding. The modern structure around them is (relatively) new but not this sort of program itself. Their presence and operations often save lives, sometimes hundreds or thousands of lives. They're important, but if you wish to argue the propriety of the programs themselves then go ahead and initiated that debate -- but in the meantime recognize that crapping all over them as they exist today may well get someone killed or even that a war might be initiated that leads to cities getting nuked -- and that the someone who that happens to might be or include you.
Nonetheless this is not the most-serious aspect of the Emailgate scandal. No, it's far worse folks -- it's the Clinton Foundation linkage.
There is already plenty of evidence in the public that the Clinton Foundation basically sold access to information and even secrets themselves to persons in other nations for "donations", and this is not something that happened without the knowledge of literally hundreds of people in our government, including at the highest levels, all of whom had a legal and national duty to prevent and report it.
That we have a candidate for President who was not only deeply involved in this she was the architect and chief steering agent for it is beyond outrageous. There are plenty of people who believe that Obama has basically sold out America to various foreign interests, including the Muslim Brotherhood. What Hillary appears to have been involved in is not only far worse it's far more-pervasive.
We shall see what the FBI and related agencies come up with here. We then shall see what Loretta Lynch does in response. I have often commented during this process that the mere presence of classified material on her "home grown" email server on its own is sufficient to bar her from running for President and ought to land her in prison, because it both is and should.
But that merely scratches the surface.
Remember that this pattern of conduct -- selling off American secrets for money by the Clintons -- is neither new or particularly surprising given Hillary and Bill Clinton's history. In 1996 Chinagate involved the transfer of satellite technology usable for the development of military purposes, including nuclear missiles, to China and millions of dollars of donations to the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign by persons barred from donation because they were not Americans.
Judicial Watch went after this and ultimately prevailed; they not only prevailed they were awarded nearly a million dollars in attorneys fees and costs. Clinton administration officials destroyed records during this investigation as well in an attempt to prevent discovery and lied under oath.
In addition Yah Lin Trie pled guilty to violating campaign finance rules (which prohibit non-US sources or persons of funds for said donations or structuring to evade said rules) and over 100 other people either took the 5th or fled the country to avoid prosecution.
And let's not forget Marc Rich, who Clinton pardoned after he and his wife donated over a million dollars to the Clinton Presidential Library and campaigns combined. He subsequently fled the country to avoid being imprisoned for tax evasion and died in 2013 -- in Switzerland, having successfully avoided punishment.
Whatever you may think of Democrats generally and Hillary personally the premise that laws intended to protect not only the integrity of this nation but our military secrets are something that can be bought and sold by persons for their own personal political and financial interests is something you must reject using whatever means are available -- and necessary.
Hillary is facially disqualified by the laws of the United States from being President, or for that matter, holding any office in our government.
That we continue to allow someone who is tantamount to Senator Palpatine to continue with this charade is an outrage. If it continues, and leads to her election, it very well may destroy our nation.
Hillary Clinton, along with the rest of her cabal, must face indictment and prosecution -- not election.
Out for comments.
Ewwwwwwwwww! All I’ll say.
She’ll skate.
Boy, is she hard to look at.
Pop was a handsome guy. Dont get it.
During my career at State as an Information Processing Center Informanagement Specialist, on numerous different dates, a Top Secret document was transmitted from the Department of State to my diplomatic post. I was required to fully document the Top Secret document into a log that is ‘FOREVER’ kept at that mission (counsulate or embassy) as a record of that particular TS document, and who was allowed to see with their initials. When the document is destroyed by two-man integrity, that too is documented and reported back to Main State. The fact that the log book denotes reciept of said document makes it a matter of record, forever, and it is inspectable during certain inspections. The only people who see these documents are the person on duty at the Information Processing Center and the Ambassador or whoever is directed to read it in the presence of the IPC IMS. This was always serious business. Scrubbing the electronic record too was a matter of great reverance. What Hillary has done mocks the foundations of the rule of law for the country.
Top Secret documents were/are never transmissted by Email, for the record.
To round out your experience, watch 13 Hours if you haven’t already.
That should help you get an even clearer picture of what Hillary is.
Roger that.
I think I’ll be skipping breakfast and lunch today...
It is only the respect I have for you and your delicate stomach that prevents me from concocting more raunchy Hillary haikus.
Tell me when you’re better. I have several on tap.
Not unless Bill still has a security clearance.
Mere access to classified information isn't illegal, if you don't hold a security clearance. Once it is terminated, your obligations end, except in some circumstances you are still subject to pre-publication review (i.e. you write a book).
If Bill were to SEND that information to a foreign agent, then he may be prosecuted for espionage. But, it's a very high bar to meet, because it has to be balanced with the First Amendment.
The traitors are the first to die.
Top Secret documents were/are never transmissted by Email, for the record. ......................................... And certainly never un-coded.
They was transmissted illegally.................
Traitors are surrendering US land to Russians, Uranium for speaking fees!
Perhaps their TRANSMISSTER was stuned.................
How fortunate for Hillary that the 'log' at the Consulate and CIA Annex were destroyed by massive fires.
==================================================
HERE'S HOW THE CLINTONS SCREWED AFRICA OUT OF ITS VALUABLE MINING RESOURCES: The head of a Canadian company with an enormous interest in Africa....in the Congo's mining and oil sector.....Lukas Lundin of Lundin Mining.....announced a $100 million donation to the Clinton Foundation on the heels of Hillary/s first presidential campaign....as she became Secy of State.
After the Congolese government attempted to regain control of its own mines, the State Department intervened on behalf of Lundin Mining and another mining company, Freeport Mines, also a Clinton foundation donor.
A round of talks in 2010, thought to be aided by the Clinton State Department, concluded with the pair of well- connected companies (Clinton Foundation donors) retaining their stakes in the mines and with the Congolese government being shut out of its own resources.

THE STATE DEPT PAPER TRAIL---- Hillary/s State Dept Aide Shared Classified state Dept Info With Clinton Foundation
2012 Email Shows Hillary Aide Cheryl Mills sent info marked confidential to Clinton Foundation
Reported By Alana Goodman, Free Beacon September 28, 2015
A key aide of Hillary Clinton emailed classified information about the government in Congo to a staffer at the Clinton Foundation in 2012, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Cheryl Mills, Clinton/s chief of staff at the State Department, sent the email to the Clinton Foundation’s foreign policy director, Amitabh Desai, on July 12, 2012.
The message, which was originally obtained by the group Citizens United through a public records request, is partially redacted because it includes foreign government information that has been classified Confidential by the State Department......but was not marked classified by the State Department until this past summer.
Intelligence sources tell the Free Beacon that it would have been classified at the time Mills sent it because foreign government information is considered classified from inception.
The message could add to concerns from congressional and FBI investigators about whether former Secretary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while at the State Department.
About half of the forwarded message was redacted due to its classified nature before the State Department released it to Citizens United last month.
Although it is not clear what the redacted section includes, the State Department said in a court motion filed last week that it concerns both foreign government information and critical aspects of U.S. foreign relations, including U.S. foreign activities carried out by officials of the U.S. Government.
The State Department added that the disclosure of this information has the potential to damage and inject friction into our bilateral relationship with African countries whose cooperation is important to U.S. national security.
The Clinton Foundation and the State Department did not respond to request for comment about the email, or say whether Desai...a non- government employee who has worked at the foundation since 2007....would have been authorized to view Confidential information.
