Wouldn’t this guy have needed some kind of security clearance to connect Clinton’s home server to the State Department servers?
From a Michael Savage interview with 2 former State Department IT/Security people, the State Department servers have 2 levels — one for general classified emails and one for top classified.
You don’t just dial up the State Department number and connect.
Investigators need special technical people who understand the technology to take the lead.
That’s the real hang-up as I understand it. This is a private server that he installed for Hillary and has nothing to do with State but she and her aides were communicating classified info on it.
Clinton’s email server wasn’t connected to State’s systems.
Some info for you: NIPRNet is used for unclassified email (could still be FOUO though). SIPRNet is used for emails containing info up to the SECRET classification. JWICS is used for emails containing info up to the TOP SECRET classification. For an email to go to a less classified system (i.e. from SIPRNET to NIPRNet) a “trusted download” has to be done (at least 2 subject matter experts or an originator have to deem the material acceptable for the lower classification). Otherwise the email cannot be moved down to the lower classification email system. This ain’t rocket science -she and her minions broke the law repeatedly.
When this broke and before I stopped listening to Limbaugh, he had a guy call in that claimed he was retired military.
Apparently had all the clearances, etc. He advised that certain information, i.e. classified material, couldn’t be sent via the ‘normal internet’, like the one she had set up. He said that anything classified would have to transposed in some way from one system to the other.
There are two kinds of ‘nets’ that the military and government set up just for that purpose. The systems talk to each other and if one doesn’t have the correct security, the emails cannot be sent.
I worked in Baghdad, doing security for the State Dept. They have a SCIF in every embassy. You’re not getting in there without a TS clearance and you better have a damn good reason for being there. It’s a way that they upper level folks, Ambassadors/SES, can communicate high level stuff to another SCIF, somewhere else in the world.
If what that guy said, and I have heard others say it, is true, then this appears to be something that is being lost in all of this. How the hell was she even able to communicate with other government officials when her server/system didn’t have the proper security protocols set up in the first place.
And with all of this, she’ll still walk away ScotFree.
