EXCLUSIVE: Hillary Completed No Security Briefings Or Courses At State Dept

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton completed no security briefings or courses on the proper handling of classified materials and how to conduct secure communications while at the Department of State, according to new Obama administration legal filings before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

The surprise admission was released late Friday and could reignite the controversy over Clinton’s “careless” handling of classified materials as asserted by FBI Director James Comey, which has already been a central part of the presidential race.

The revelation also could renew calls for the Department of State to strip her of her security clearance. The co-founder of at least one retired military officers organization has called for a suspension of her clearance.

State Department officials previously reported they could not locate records certifying that Clinton or her top aides took the annually required security courses and briefings.

But on July 29, Obama administration officials went further, saying their failure to locate any documents meant that the “courses were not completed” by the secretary or her aides.

You little people and your rules. So trite. Once upon a time, ignorance of the law was not a plausible defense. Now, meh. "Nobody told me." When I worked (?) in the industry, failure to completer MANDATORY classified document handling would result in immediate suspension of access to classifed material. That they basically ignored the requirements is NOT shocking or in the least surprising.

Why not? Was she too “busy” to attend?

[Oberon]

Makes no difference; she’s incompetent either way.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Good time management. Why attend training you’ll never follow?

[ClearCase_guy]

Not surprising.

But still: Amazing.

Laws are for the little people. They keep the peasants in their place.

[RummyChick]

Is this a way to say she wasn’t educated on the subject so she should get a pass since she didn’t take the REQUIRED courses.

Forgetting , of course, that she spent 8 years in the WH.

If the State Dept would have Donated a few Million Dollars to the Clinton Foundation, maybe her and her staff would have done the training.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Oh, well. I guess that excuses her. /S

[Mr. K]

I am firmly convinced that THE ONLY THING she learned from law school is how not to leave evidence

[null and void]

Classes are for the lower classes.

[hoosiermama]

$6 billion is missing from Dept of State under her term
I’m sure she has her share and distributed much to people to get her way

[relictele]

Obama as president: anyone delivering bad news is shunned so he can feel good about himself. Apparently, his cabinet members follow suit.

[ClearCase_guy]

In WWII a junior naval officer blocked King George VI from a sensitive area on a warship. The officer didn’t see the King’s name on the access list, so ... no access.

That’s the way its supposed to work. But Hillary is above all that.

[bigbob]

She already knew how she was going to handle her communications using her own server so why bother?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

What a horrible picture for a portrait. It looks like she’s saying “it’s okay ...it happens to lots of men”.

[jetson]

Another example of the sloppy handling of government business by the administration and prima donna Hillary Clinton. Trump needs to talk about this.

The b*tch is out of excuses.
