Talk about irony: The FBI, which was willing to use deadly force over Donald Trump allegedly mishandling classified documents, has been systematically mishandling similar information for years, according to bombshell findings released Thursday by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
The DOJ-IG said it discovered the FBI’s mishandling of classified information while auditing a contract related to how the bureau destroys electronics containing “sensitive-but-unclassified” information, as well as classified national security information.
According to Horowitz’s audit, the FBI labels computers that handle such information when it sends them to a facility to be destroyed. However, it does not label internal hard drives extracted from those computers. The FBI also doesn’t properly track thumb drives and disk drives containing information of varying classification levels, according to Horowitz.
Compounding the security risk is the fact that those unmarked internal hard drives, thumb drives and disk drives often end up in a physically unsecured warehouse.

Horowitz added that after his team spotted the box, the FBI’s Asset Management Unit “promptly secured” it with additional shrink wrap. However, the FBI’s PTI supervisor and contractor told Horowitz that they would not be aware if someone was to take hard drives from the pallets because these assets are not counted or otherwise tracked

“DOJ IG Finds FBI Systematically Mishandled Classified Info”
Needless to say, the DOJ Inspector General will not be seeing his wife and kids until he FORMALLY retracts that report. After all, there are LIMITS, obviously, as to what some clown can say about the Deep State.

mishandling classified documents?
isn’t this what garland & boot jack smith are trying to charge trump on?
The FIB method of having no method is BY DESIGN.
Gee, will SWAT teams be showing up at each of their houses at 6:00 am with no warning?
The FBI should be eliminated. This sort of illegal abuse of people and cases means all such cases should be voided.
What an incredible waste.
Is that all he finds wrong about the FBI?!?
The first thing Trump needs to do if elected is to fire Christopher Wray.
What made the FBI great was its people.
No more.
Historically, the polygraph and background checks, combined with a degree and specific/specialized experience requirements, made for a very capable and mature agent.
The average age at the academy was 31.5 years for the new agent hire.
However,
Under Obama, Holder, Comey, Lynch the FBI took a nose dive.
They wanted to make the FBI more representative of the American public (almost immediately after Obama took charge).
So the FBI began hiring kids straight from college in some cases. The FBI de-emphasized the degree and experience type, since trying to require degrees and experience that is related to the FBI and work they do would restrict the pool of applicants to much. The FBI today has a lot of folks with garbage degrees in sociology, psychology, experience as school teachers, social workers, stuff unrelated to the FBI really, before they go to the FBI. They began to recruit at venues known for their LGBTQIAA+ diversity... Of course they also pushed this in the management ranks and made sure you got a lot of black and women SAC’s, ASACs, DADs, etc.
Another DEI victim.
Okay... FBI employees who did the mishandling to be raided and indicted when?
Now add the Secret Service to the club.
-PJ
Keystone cop circular firing squad.
hire Hillary - she can wipe them with a cloth!
“laws regarding classified documents applies to the little people”
Like former Presidents.
“The first thing Trump needs to do if elected is to fire Christopher Wray.”
The entire SES and their combined staffs all need to be fired, stripped of their security clearances, and made to sign iron clad NDAs under pain of prosecution.
L
QUICK... ARREST TRUMP!!!
” related to how the bureau destroys electronics”
We all know, you either wipe them with a cloth, or smash them with a hammer. How dumb are these guys?
I don’t see a problem you refer every last one of them for Criminal Prosecution for violating the Espionage Act.
“The FIB can’t get this sensitive info to CHINA fast enough”
The only people not privy to US government secrets are American citizens,. China, Russia, the UK and Israel have elaborate and sophisticated spy networks and information gathering capabilities which minute by minute collect information denied to citizens on the grounds of national security. The four nations mentioned have complete knowledge of who is running the United States today.
