” if you are required to have access”
Correct. Another way to say it is “NEED TO KNOW”.
It doesn’t matter how high your clearance is, you ALSO have to have “a need to know”.
Actually you should look at it the other way around.
FIRST, do you have a need to know, Second, do you have the necessary clearance.
Peggy was a great ad. Fits right in with our puns re the Russians hacking/ the rat nests.
“How this didn’t start an immediate investigation into potential espionage, is beyond me.”
Me too
I was a surface sonar tech (DLG-34) in the late 60’s. I used to work with an ex sub sailor. He said they have a saying:
There are only two kinds of ships...submarines and targets.
googling your BQS-13 I found a page with some history of sonar systems:

Either produce a link to the story or delete this thread.
I read on one of the threads that she was given official authorization to apply classification after reading the document.
I thought the talking point of the day is “it’s the FBI’s fault.” Tomorrow, they will be blaming it on climate change.
The same guy who kept using his old sexting “handle” (after being caught the first time) doesn’t exactly strike me as a tech wizard. Then again, you never know.
You are correct, but let me add something I have not seen discussed.
Just because you have a secret or top secret clearance does NOT mean you can look at anything at or below your clearance. All programs I know of are on a need to know bases.
For instance if a program is classified at the secret level, just because you have top secret clearance does not mean you have “need to know”. Furthermore to get it you need to not only have need to know but also have to be read into that program.
Add to that the moving of classified information outside the classified area/network is absolutely forbidden. Heck, if you want to listen to the radio inside a secure facility not even the radio cannot ever leave.
All of this Clinton stuff is so illegal, on every account, that I cannot believe they have gotten this far. Almost every level of Clintons excuse violates the rules of secure information handling.
its rumored emails showing plans to delete the emails and obstruct justice..(one of many rumors)
Another thing not being discussed....all talk about Abedin, Weiner, and Hillary is minor, this evidence incriminates the President. He’s involved here, up to his neck, and they are trying to handle it in a proper manner.
At 20,000 feet we are re-living the Magna Charta debate.
For those of you not old enough to remember (:-)) the question was whether the King (in this case the Queen) is subject to the laws that govern everyone else?
Yes or no?
That is what this election is about.
If it was classified information that was deliberately deleted (i.e. among the 33K that were about “yoga and Chelsea’s wedding”), that would be enough of a something else.
Trump was right.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
About another thing too:
This is going to be MUCH BIGGER THAN WATERGATE unless the Dims/globalists somehow kill it.
Abedin ran interference for Clinton, has for years. She was Clinton’s email screener. Nothing went to Clinton that Abedin did not see first and Abedin wrote replies. So, of course, Abedin had access to all Clinton’s accounts.
“this evidence incriminates the President. He’s involved here, up to his neck, and they are trying to handle it in a proper manner.”
I believe this too. I figured it was the reason Clinton got off the first time. Now they have lost contol of who has seen what, and if Hillary goes down guaranteed she takes everyone down with her.
The elite are selling out this country and sending sensitive information to our enemies. I cannot wait till the average American figures this out and dusts off their torches and pitchforks!
It Has to be marked to be properly handled if written, or it is on a properly vetted AIS cleared as high as what’s sent. Anything else is a breach or spill release or outright improper handling and release.
And I completely understand that unmarked classified data is still classified. I’m talking about their pathetic and incomplete cleansing done without originator knowledge or approval and that ignorance is no defense.
Very good point, I have a similar take...how much does the average American need before he pulls out his torch and pitchfork!
Yes and since these emails were obtained from the original source no one can claim the Russians edited them.
A security clearance is a status granted to individuals allowing them access to classified information (state or organizational secrets) or to restricted areas, after completion of a thorough background check. The term “security clearance” is also sometimes used in private organizations that have a formal process to vet employees for access to sensitive information.
A clearance by itself is normally not sufficient to gain access; the organization must also determine that the cleared individual needs to know specific information. No one is supposed to be granted automatic access to classified information solely because of rank, position, or a security clearance.[1]
Step 1. Get/have the necessary clearance required for the task/job.
Step 2. Then organization must also determine that the cleared individual needs to know specific information.
