Five more classified documents were unearthed Thursday at President Joe Biden’s Delaware residence by his legal team, bringing the total amount of mishandled materials to about 25.
President Joe Biden’s stash of classified documents at the Biden Penn Center included materials reportedly marked top secret.
Classified Ministry of Defence documents which included details of HMS Defender, the British naval ship involved in recent tensions with Russia after passing through the Black Sea, were found left at a bus stop, in just the latest instance of government officials losing sensitive data.
It reads like something out of a screwball comedy: a far-left activist named “Reality Leigh Winner” somehow received clearance to work for the National Security Agency, which she allegedly proceeded to rob of classified material in the name of the kookburger anti-Trump “Resistance.” In the post-Edward Snowden era, how does someone like this get anywhere near sensitive data?
National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Harold Thomas Martin III was arrested Wednesday for downloading “Sensitive Compartmented Information” to his home computer.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the FBI she “did not pay attention to the ‘level’ of classified information,” claiming she took it all seriously.
Navy Petty Officer First Class Kristian Saucier, who was convicted on a felony charge for taking photos of classified systems inside a submarine, has cited Hillary Clinton’s free pass for violating similar security protocols in his defense.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) downplayed the damage done by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mis-handling of classified information on her private email server, as FBI director James Comey testified at the House Oversight Committee on Thursday.
U.S. Senate candidate Kelli Ward called on Republicans to fight back against Democratic presumptive presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the wake of the FBI’s findings and recommendation not to indict Clinton over what it called “extremely careless” handling of national security information.
The State Department continues to hold off on administrative evaluation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of sensitive information. During a Tuesday press conference, Spokesman John Kirby repeatedly asserted that the department is not “lax” with classified information but would not weigh in on the FBI’s determination that “there is evidence of potential violations” by Clinton.
48-year-old Huang Yu, a computer technician in the Sichuan Province of southwestern China, has been sentenced to death for leaking over 150,000 classified documents to an unspecified foreign spy agency, according to Chinese state television.
A new trove of documents unearthed by Judicial Watch with a Freedom of Information Act request sheds more light on the Clinton email scandal, revealing that Hillary Clinton demanded changes to the National Security Agency’s protocols so she could use her smartphone and secret email server.
Another of Hillary Clinton’s talking points bites the dust, and it’s the Washington Post that shoots it down, with an analysis that found Clinton herself was the author of 104 of the classified emails on her server.
A source close to the FBI probe of Hillary Clinton tells Fox News that investigators are asking whether she shared highly secure State Department network passwords with her aides.
From Reuters comes another twist in the Hillary Clinton email scandal, as intelligence agencies point out that some of her emails contained text that very closely matched America’s most highly-classified documents:
Another 551 emails from Hillary Clinton’s homebrew server, including 84 messages redacted due to classified information, 3 of which were classified at the “secret” level, are now available.
A notably irritated U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras is rejecting the State Department’s attempt to delay production of the remaining Hillary Clinton emails. Thursday found the judge ordering State to release four more batches of emails on February 13, 19, 26, and 29.
The Clinton email scandal is getting bigger again, as Fox News cites a source close to the investigation who says at least a dozen different accounts on Hillary Clinton’s notorious homebrew email server handled Top Secret material. The number of different accounts could be as high as 30.
Sources tell Politico that House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) plans to proceed with an investigation into federal record-keeping practices, with the blessing of House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI)… provided the probe proceeds with “caution” when it hits Hillary Clinton’s email server.
Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) of the House Intelligence Committee said that more of Hillary Clinton’s emails would be classified Top Secret, and the information contained in these emails is every bit as damaging as early reports suggested.
“I take classified information seriously,” Hillary Clinton declared on CNN Monday morning. “People are selectively leaking and making comments that have no basis in anything I’m aware of.”
This week’s Friday afternoon news drop was a blockbuster for Hillary Clinton, with revelations that some of her emails contained information so sensitive they cannot be released to the public at all.
One of Hillary Clinton’s defensive tactics is to insist that none of the emails on her unsecure private server were “marked classified,” even though over a thousand emails containing classified material have now been discovered, including several Top Secret and beyond Top Secret documents.
Yet another bombshell in the Clinton email scandal, courtesy of Fox News, which reports one of those “beyond Top Secret” documents we just learned about this week included super-sensitive human intelligence… potentially putting the lives of American spies and their sources at risk.
The number of “top secret” emails found on Hillary Clinton’s server now exceeds the two that were discovered last year and which became the basis for a DOJ referral to examine the handling of classified information.
Former NSA analyst John Schindler argues at the Observer that Hillary Clinton’s latest email dump might have contained an even bigger bombshell than the message where she ordered aides to turn a sensitive faxed document into “nonpaper with no identifying heading and send nonsecure.”
Not only has Datto surrendered equipment to the FBI, but they’ve also stated that they warned Hillary Clinton’s computer company, Platte River Networks, that her server was vulnerable to hackers… and they say their warnings were disregarded, because FBI investigators ordered that the system should not be altered in any way.
The FBI seized four servers from the State Department building a few weeks ago as part of the investigation into classified material improperly stored on Hillary Clinton’s secret email server, particularly the Top Secret documents that have been discovered in her email trove.
No matter what the FBI finds in the recently retrieved emails on her recently seized private server, one thing is already clear: Hillary Clinton, and her political team, have repeatedly, intentionally tried to mislead the public as they sought to downplay the story.
The New York Times reports that a second intelligence-community review endorses the Inspector General’s findings, and confirmed the presence of classified material on Hillary Clinton’s off-the-books email server, including multiple “Top Secret” documents.
The Hillary Clinton era was a time of much “consternation” for State Department technical staff and security experts, to borrow a word used in today’s Politico article about Clinton aides pushing for the ability to view secret and top-secret material on their personal electronic devices. Just imagine what’s in the 30,000-plus emails Clinton deleted before investigators, Congress, and the American people could see them, if the stuff she eventually decided to hand over is this alarming and embarrassing.
Former employees point out that Platte River did nothing wrong by accepting the work from Clinton, which they tried to keep quiet, and handled to the best of their ability. It was Hillary Clinton’s legal responsibility to ensure that classified information was properly handled; given that she’s been lying about it for so long to everyone else, it’s quite possible that she never told Platte River about it.
Senator Grassley asks a few less obvious, but very interesting, questions beyond the basics. For example, he asks a straightforward question that the Administration has thus far been reluctant to answer: does Hillary Clinton still have an active security clearance?
As the Hillary Clinton email scandal turns into a mushroom cloud, with new names popping into the chain of custody for her electronic communications every day, one of the lingering questions is whether any of these people were actually cleared to handle the sensitive, classified, and Top Secret information Clinton recklessly exposed.
It will make months to examine everything Clinton handed over – not least because she provided the messages on paper, although now that the discovery of Top Secret material finally prompted the FBI to seize the thumb drive she gave her lawyer David Kendall, perhaps a speedier review will be possible.
Needless to say, no one as irresponsible, arrogant, and untrustworthy as Hillary Clinton has proven herself to be should be permitted anywhere near classified information ever again, especially given the patently false story her campaign drones are still pushing that she did all this for the mere “convenience” of not carrying two portable email devices.
This is one of the most famous women in Washington – once a celebrated rising star, groomed to be Hillary’s Mini-Me, a duchess in the Clinton royal court, subject of a hundred fawning profiles in political and pop-culture magazines – and the Obama Administration claims it could not successfully send her a letter.
The FBI finally took custody of Hillary Clinton’s email server late Wednesday afternoon, about six months after they would have moved against anyone who isn’t Democrat royalty.
As for that thumb drive, current reporting suggests it contains only the 30,000 or so emails Hillary Clinton didn’t decide to classify as “personal correspondence” and destroy. Up until a few days ago, Clinton World assured us her lawyer David Kendall was also a super-spy with all the security clearances necessary to handle the former Secretary of State’s email.
Private sector America is bound by thick web of laws that can destroy any of us at a moment’s notice, even for the most innocent violation of a minor regulation by well-meaning citizens, but Democrat royalty like Hillary Clinton can flaunt even the most common-sense requirements of their powerful positions with impunity, getting away with everything from pushing a fraudulent health-care scheme, to poisoning rivers, to jeopardizing national security because they wish to evade congressional oversight.
