Wonder if she has a clearance. Most do not. And it will take a top secret compartmented since it supposedly is tied into nuclear.

“4. Personnel Security—Court Personnel. No person appointed by the court or designated for service therein shall be given access to any classified information in the custody of the court, unless such person has received a security clearance as provided herein and unless access to such information is necessary for the performance of an official function.”

As the definition of SCI states, there is a requirement that the individual has a need to obtain the information and is read into the program. It is possible to undergo the Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) required to access Top Secret information without being read into an SCI program. SCI access can also be granted at the Secret level as well.

Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) is a subset of classified national intelligence. SCI is a type of United States classified information concerning or derived from sensitive intelligence sources, methods or analytical processes. All SCI must be handled within formal access control systems established by the Director of National Intelligence.

Because the same investigation is used to grant Top Secret clearances, the two are often written together as TS/SCI. Eligibility alone does not confer access to any specific SCI material - it is simply a qualification. Individuals with a security clearance may be “read into” SCI as a part of their jobs. One must receive explicit permission to access an SCI control system or compartment. This process may include a polygraph or other approved investigative or adjudicative action. Once it is determined a person should have access to an SCI compartment, they sign a nondisclosure agreement, are “read in” or indoctrinated and the fact of this access is recorded in a local access register or in a computer database. Upon termination from a particular compartment, the employee is “read out” or debriefed and again signs the nondisclosure agreement.

It’s not easy to get an SCI above top secret. You can have a Confidential, Secret or Top Secret security clearance yet still be denied access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI). You can have minor issues in your background and still be granted Confidential, Secret or Top Secret eligibility. But, for a sponsorship for SCI access, you usually cannot have any issues whatsoever in your background. You basically need to be extra “squeaky clean.” Also, in most instances, barring any major adjudicative issues, you will be able to retain your collateral clearance (Confidential/Secret/Top Secret) despite being denied access to an SCI-related program, facility or information system. And remember, the SCI can go well above top secret so they are normally scrutinized to the maximum. It remains to be seen if there are any blips on the radar for the judge and how fast this thing goes through. And how much is pencil whipped like with Hilary.
