DG Brown,

I want to expand upon Indispensable Destiny’s accurate description of DoD encryption of e-mails. It is done for an additional level of security against hackers and to protect personal privacy information. It is NOT put on by individuals but is a DoD wide system and anyone receiving an encrypted e-mail via the DoD e-mail system can decrypt the e-mails using their Common Access Card, which gives them access to their computer and e-mail. This is not a system that prevents unclassified e-mails to be exempt from FOIA requests. Dealing with classified e-mails is via the SIPRNET system which is entirely separate from the day to day e-mail that DoD and other federal government employees use. I was such an employee with the Department of the Army until I retired a few months ago. Whatever encryption system the DoJ/FBI folks are using, is completely different from what I-D and I are discussing...and may very well be illegal. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with it.

DoJ, FBI, DHS, DoS and other departments have the PIV. It is very similar to the CAC. The CAC is somewhat different because it came first and DoD disagreed with some of the things NIST specified for the PIV.

It's capable of the same things the CAC is for email encryption, network login, building access, etc. Whether those agencies implemented all that is another matter.

I knew it was bad but I’m floored with each new example of deep state treachery. Trump’s importance in saving this republic may only be rivaled by Abraham Lincoln’s. We are so fortunate DJT came along at this point in our history.

President Trump is the only Street Fighting president we have ever seen period, end of story!!!

The rally yesterday in Pensacola, Florida was a really good rally for Judge Roy Moore. Judge Roy Moore will win handily over the Rat candidate for the Senate seat from Alabama.

There were around 25,000 folks at the rally inside where President Trump addressed and rallied the crowd.

There were 25,000 supporters outside the building who could not get in!!!

The Fake News MSM crowd probably could not believe these folks were still waiting outside to get inside the building and it was cold outside.

There were a lot of black folks with Trump signs inside the building since President Trump has lowered the unemployment of Blacks throughout the countryside.

We will never here this statistic from the Fake News MSM but we know President Trump has enormous support after the last miserable 8 years of that America Hating Imposter Obama and even some of the Blacks know that Obama is an Imposter.
