Hillary Clinton’s astonishing post-State access to top secret docs (March 31, 2017 story)
Washington Times ^

Posted on 04/04/2017 7:56:02 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Hillary Clinton may have resigned her secretary role at the State Department in 2013 — but her access to top secret and classified information didn’t end then.

Under Barack Obama, she was allowed to continue to view highly sensitive intel documents for years — well past her announced run for the presidency in April 2015, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Why? Toward what possible end?

So she could better write her memoir.

File this in the “You’ve Got to Be Kidding Me” folder.

And it wasn’t just Clinton who kept the power of top secret access. It was six of her former staffers, who went by the tag of “research assistants,” Fox News reported.

Grassley, rightly so, is baffled — not just by the special privilege for Clinton and six of her staffers. But also by the fact that the justification for the access seems so waffley and weak. As he wondered: If the top-secret access was sincerely so Clinton could pen a better memoir, why did the Obama White House hide it for so long?

What about the two dogs the Obamas had ? Probably in some no-kill shelter now.

What an excellent question. I mean it's not like we don't already know the obama's are low human beings on the scale of life not reaching even a 1 on a 1-10 scale but a lot could be gleaned from knowing what they did with the dogs. I seriously doubt they are living at the DC house. Hussein and Mooch hate dogs so where are they?

The last job I had I left at 3:00PM but my access to university databases and email stopped at noon.

I guess I wasn’t very well liked!

I didn’t even know what my clearance was to reveal it. http://bavarianilluminati.com/fnord.html

If anyone who no longer works in a position requiring top security clearance ought to have such access, Hillary Clinton would be the LAST person it should be.

She should have had her clearance revoked long before her campaign. Even Comey could not lie and say she handled classified information properly.

She and her staff were given a lifetime subscription to top secret info.

Yes, y’all are correct.

When the assignment is done, the need-to-know ends, and the clearance holder gets read-out.

They no longer have access.

I’ve never heard of people continuing to have access after the assignment is finished.

Letting six staffers have access, and herself continuing access is a breach in and of itself.

Lock. Them. Up. !!!!

Look, nobody on either side doubts for a moment that Obama and his posse’ spied on Trump and shared the info with Hillary, NOBODY.

The only TRICK is proving it.

This reminds me of the OJ trial: Even the people who KNEW he was guilty were NOT going to admit it because they had too much invested.

She’ll be able to include Trump staff’s private conversations before and after the election in her book.

I wonder if it’ll take an act of Congress to DISCONTINUE Hillary’s access.
