Following receipt today of a memorandum from Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough stating that two of the forty emails his office had been allowed to review from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server contained information that was classified at the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information level, Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley (R.-Iowa) released a copy of the IG’s memo and a statement.
“The congressional notification provided by the Intelligence Community Inspector General said more specifically that two of the four emails that the office had previously described as ‘above Secret’ were, in fact, classified at the Top Secret/SCI level,” Grassley’s statement said.
The Judiciary chairman posted a copy of the IG’s memo—without the attached emails—on his Senate website.
“These emails, attached hereto, have been properly marked by IC classification officials, and include information classified up to ‘TOP SECRET//SI/TK/NOFORN,’” said the IC IG’s cover memo to a group of 17 members of Congress that included the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committees.
In a previous memo sent July 23 to DNI James Clapper and the chairmen and ranking members of the congressional intelligence committees, IC IG McCullough had said that his office had only been allowed by the State Department to review a “limited sampling of 40” of the 30,000 State Department emails that had been on Clinton’s private server.

that’s odd...
I thought she told us she didn’t?
It was a surprise that she turned over her email server yesterday (amid no fanfare)
I am anxious to hear what they tried to do to it
If hillary had classified things on an insecure server that gave terrorists information that caused death, why isn't that negligent homicide?
LOL!
The FBI must have told her to surrender it or we will arrest you.
It also contained TK (TALENT KEYHOLE) information. This is a descriptor for space-based photo, ELINT and other technically-acquired information (as opposed to HUMINT).
This is very serious shit. Pardon the use of the profane word but that is probably the exact quote from some DOD 4-star to his head 2-star staffer this morning.
Remember it was that computer hacker in Romania that gave all the emails to Putin.
This was only after the New York Times, the Washington Post and the L.A. Times refused to write an article about it.
To the FR community. The meaning of the classifying designation mentioned in this news story is itself classified.
If true this is very bad, .... very bad. I cannot elaborate.
But this is very bad and harmful to the national interest.
Thank you for the break down!
I had no idea what that was?
WE’D BE IN JAIL BY NOW....
P.S. TK demonstrates to our enemies EXACTLY what our capabilities are, what technical capabilities we have currently and in the immediate foreseeable future.
Bad Ju Ju
If true this is “pound in you the butt” Federal Prison Time, at least that what you are told when Read In.
This from a prior post, but is worth repeating here with your good catch:
Often the distinctions used when discriminating between the classification of information as either Secret or Top Secret include both the AMOUNT of damage that can be done to US interests, personnel, property, defense capabilities, etc, by the inappropriate disclosure of that classified materiel, and often more importantly, the IMMEDIACY of that potentially deadly harm.
There are higher classifications of protected information than TS, but if TS materiel is compromised, it would be expected that great harm, physical and often deadly, could happen to American and Americans IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE, often a matter of hours.
For example, information that could be used against us in a few hours would include the locations of certain fissionable weapons, their transportation schedules to and from Pantex, locations of biological agents kept in Cat. IV bio containment laboratories in order to prepare vaccines against the possible enemy use of those bio agents against us, and much more.
The TS materiel compromised by Ms. Clinton probably covers other issues, not nucs or bio, but the above shows the seriousness of this compromise. The word “compromise” is operative here, because once classified materiel is even possibly in the hands of enemy powers, it is always assumed to known to them and therefore being used against us.
This is very serious
Be well
I am sure you know this from “Open Sources, right?
David Petraeus took a felony hit for a LOT less.
Thirty years ago, this would have resulted in prison time - but only for lesser mortals, and not the likes of She Who Must Not Be Named.
Outstanding post!
Thank you!
WTF? They can only review the ones he has been given????
TAKE THE FRIGGIN THING ALREADY!! IT'S ILLEGAL!!
Jeeze they let these GD politicians get away with so much that would get any of us slammer-time before nightfall!
This is beyond simple felony statues. When you have access to this level of material you fall under the Traitor to the US statues.
Mere Mortals, such as we would be looking at LIFE terms
