EXCLUSIVE: State Dept Can’t Find Evidence Hillary Was Trained To Handle Classified Documents
The Daily Caller ^ | 7/10/16 | Richard Pollock

Posted on 07/10/2016 8:00:57 PM PDT by Nachum

A senior Department of State official claimed there is no documentation showing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ever received training in the proper handling of classified materials, according to a June 30 Department of Justice filing in U.S. District Court.

The disclosure could buttress FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before a congressional committee that Clinton was perhaps not “sophisticated enough” to understand that the marking “C” on an email meant it was a classified document.

“It’s an interesting question whether she was sophisticated enough to understand what a C in parens means,” Comey said before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Wednesday. “It’s possible—possible—she didn’t understand what a (C) meant when she saw it in the body of the email like that.”

In the Freedom of Information lawsuit brought by The Daily Caller News Foundation, the department to date has failed to deliver any documents showing that Clinton ever enrolled and passed mandatory State Department courses that instructed officials in the proper handling of classified material.

In other words, she is so incompetent, she couldn’t even abide by PC training requirements mandated for ALL government employees.

Exactly, having that level of clearance means you keep it secret —FOREVER—.

Does it surprise me in the least she didn’t get any training when she became the big shot Sec of State, of course not, she was the boss who in the hell’s going to even ask her to attend training?

In simpler terms, she was answerable to no one

With the possible exception of someone more inept, more incompetent, and ---- more vulnerable than herself.

The current national mess speaks for itself.

This is beyond preposterous. Everyone knows that as soon as someone is approved to get a clearance, the first thing is that they get training and instructions on how to handle classified material — before they actually see or get any classified material.

Is Hillary so stupid she did not know that SOS correspondence is, by its nature, secretive? What planet is she from?

Hillary's ignorance or state of mind are irrelevant. 18 USC 783 (f) does not require intent. Carelessness, which Comey told us the FBI found, in handling of defense or intelligence related documents by a government official ordains not more than 10 years in prison or a fine, or both, and specifies that the official is not eligible to ever hold public offices. Comey, for not charging as the law requires should be impeached, and not allowed to retire so that he keeps his pensions. Hillary violated 18 USC 793 (f):
Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer- Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

She was not given a training course in how to tell the truth, either. Therefore, she should not be blamed for lying.

She signed legally binding papers that said she did. I’d wager someone tried to train her and she told them to go to Hell.

Isn’t there something near the signature line which mentions ‘penalty of perjury?’

No matter, Comey will say she left her glasses home. She could not see the paper, therefore no criminal intent. No reasonable prosecutor would take on such as case.

Hillary, again, goes to George Costanza for policy guidance. First it was The Human Fund, aka The Clinton Foundation. Now it is the patently absurd "Was that wrong?" excuse.
"Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time. "

Perhaps even worse - there will be a witness signature (possibly two witnesses depending on the specific form). If she lied, so did the trainer/witness.

Just protecting their own while raising even more questions....

Heck, I wouldn’t trust her to run the local hot dog stand.

I think Huma has that covered anyway.

Comey can deny it until he is blue in the face. The Rule of Law means nothing to the FBI/DOJ if the target is of an ‘investigation’ is one of them.

It was an easy decision for the feds to go after Denny Hastert. He was on the “wrong side” of the aisle. He had been accused of molestation when he was a wrestling coach. Molestation charges for which he was never charged. IOW, if they could not get him on molestation charges, they got him for something.

Comey has tainted the reputations of everyone charged with prosecutable authority in this country. It has a cumulative effect. We are reaping what they have sewn. It can only get worse.

It can only get worse.

Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, needs Hillary (for sale at any price) Clinton to continue his destructive polices.

Hussein's job was to do long lasting damage to the US. Hillary is the one and Hussein made it happen. Hillary couldn't have been indicted if she was the one shooting cops in Dallas. The fix was and is in.

If you are one of Hussein Obama's terrorist handlers, then you have to give him an A+. The presstitues still support him and the average American would never believe Hussein is supporting terrorism. At least not until bombs start going off in schools and shopping malls where they live. Then it will become even more obvious who Hussein is.

It’s not the beeber, it’s my ability and willingness to wade thru this BS!

I mean, look at this mess:

// “It’s an interesting question whether she was sophisticated enough to understand what a C in parens means,” Comey said before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Wednesday. “It’s possible—possible—she didn’t understand what a (C) meant when she saw it in the body of the email like that.” //

First of all, do the words “sophisticated” and “hillary” even belong together?

Do the excuse makers even hear what they are saying, what they are asking us to believe about the smartest woman, in their far-fetched pretzel ‘logic’?
