Let’s not forget that once a device or media is used for classified data, itself becomes classified and is required to be securely stored ( not in your lawyers office either)until it is destroyed or wiped by the guys in the lab etc.
There are so many crimes involved here.
She is done.
When I worked at a Joint HQs, there were so many thumb drives, laptops, cell phones and other electronics surrendered to security that we had a dedicated team just to wipe/destroy etc all of it. It all became gov property once it passed the entrance security desk..... Sorry about that blackberry, Major, you should have left it your vehicle. Sign here, move along. Out going stuff ( things brought in and then found on the way out) brought the owner/violator to the CE officers desk for a good frank discussion about career and fed jails....
If verified SCIF level material found its way on her server system emails, somebody INTENTIONALLY removed the markings and INTENTIONALLY violated so many laws it isn’t funny.
Been saying that for days! Any and all devices that might have processed classified information are also deemed classified devices. Whether information is “marked” or not is a baseless excuse.mit is the the responsibility of the person holding the information to insure it is properly marked and safeguarded. I have been taught that for 40 years in required annual security refresher briefings either in the military or working in or for the government. There are no excuses for lapses in security protocols.
