Except as a Senator, she was on the Armed Services Committee and had training on classified materials then.

[Enchante]

yes, according to Wiki she served on the Senate Armed Services Committee and THREE sub-committees of that body which should have required some knowledge and competence in dealing with classified materials, sensitive security issues etc.:

Committee on Armed Services (2003-2009)[2]
Subcommittee on Airland
Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities
Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support

If she didn’t come through these experiences with minimum competency and knowledge, enough to know what questions to ask and what all the issues are wrt national security, then she is far too inept and stooopid to be in any position of national importance.

Heck, I wouldn’t trust her to run the local hot dog stand.
