How different would State Department markings be from emails Senators receive?
She was a senator for 8 years. Surely, she sat on committees/sub-committees that dealt with classified materials.
Normally, to get access....even as a senator...since roughly 2004....you take a on-line course that amounts to an hour of training. It’s taught at the 8th grade level and dirt-simple. At the end, unlike the method prior to 2004....you now have to take a test and pass it before they give you the certificate or badge or card. The test, even I will admit....is not that simple. I’d take a guess that half the people who take the test will fail on the first go-around, and most will pass on the second attempt. So we are talking about 90 minutes of your time.
In her case as senator and state department chief....I’ll wager NOT one single training session can be documented. Her people probably haggled with the security folks and got her the badge on each single occasion with no training.
I sat around two years ago and watched a German live talk show...where Hillary had shown up to hype her new book, and they had a round-table with two significant German female leaders. It was like night and day....comparing the two German female leaders to Hillary, in terms of dialog and commentary. It was some 15-year old high school girl on some stage and she couldn’t contribute anything of substance in a live interview. The moderator helped to hype her new book and lob easy questions, but if you were a German watching the interview....you’d mostly laugh over the act seen.
