| > Have you ever worked in a government secure environment? Regardless of the politics, if anyone else other than her had done this they would have been fired on the spot, and had possible charges brought depending on the outcome of the investigation. Can you be specific with what this means? I hear this comparison all the time yet it never seems to be articulated. What did she do that would lead her to have been fired "on the spot"? My understanding is that neither state.gov nor "Hillary email server" are "secure" for classified information. And it seems like over the course of investigating "Hillary email server" ~20 emails have been identified as containing information that should have been considered "Top Secret". But that poses the question - why was that information being emailed around at all? Who sent it? Who is liable? How did it get on email systems connected to the open web? Or is there just a certain level of classified information that is expected to be mishandled over the course of time? And is this like information that is being directly copied from clearly classified reports? Or is this accidental references to topics that should not be discussed in email messages sent over the open web? I imagine these are all questions are being confronted by the FBI. But it seems pretty common to encounter comments along the lines of yours: Hillary is definitely in the wrong and every one knows it. But I do not see that yet. |
The problem with classified or even just sensitive information is that it is hard to know what is what. For example a list of naval ship names is likely not sensitive information. That same list with some grouping may suddenly be sensitive. For this reason, it is good to assume all government communications someone at that level is having are at a minimum sensitive and should always be on government property.
