Hillary Clinton’s astonishing post-State access to top secret docs (March 31, 2017 story)
Washington Times ^

Posted on 04/04/2017 7:56:02 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Hillary Clinton may have resigned her secretary role at the State Department in 2013 — but her access to top secret and classified information didn’t end then.

Under Barack Obama, she was allowed to continue to view highly sensitive intel documents for years — well past her announced run for the presidency in April 2015, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Why? Toward what possible end?

So she could better write her memoir.

File this in the “You’ve Got to Be Kidding Me” folder.

And it wasn’t just Clinton who kept the power of top secret access. It was six of her former staffers, who went by the tag of “research assistants,” Fox News reported.

Grassley, rightly so, is baffled — not just by the special privilege for Clinton and six of her staffers. But also by the fact that the justification for the access seems so waffley and weak. As he wondered: If the top-secret access was sincerely so Clinton could pen a better memoir, why did the Obama White House hide it for so long?

I don’t know about the term “read out.” I had to sign some papers with some pretty heavy language on them, though. I had to promise not to even reveal what my clearance was.

I wonder if Hussein will stay in the Pacific Paradise so long as he is not sure that he won’t be arrested and charged. I don’t think there are extradition treaties where is.

When I was in I believe even the fact that you HAD a security clearance was not to be divulged to anyone after separation, let alone the level of it.

My wife worked for a defense contractor for years as a computer engineer. I do not know what she did. When I asked she always said, I will tell you when I am dead. I quit asking. They paid her well. Often she went TDY. Sometimes she went TDY and I did not even know where it was. At that time she was just a cell phone number.

WTF? Kennedy was an administrator. He was not CIA he was state. He has no professional business being on State Department classified distribution with members of Obama’s Inner Circle.

Very strange behavior,especially when he has a family.

What about the two dogs the Obamas had ? Probably in some no-kill shelter now.

Now things are getting a little more interesting. We know that Podesta was allowed to be part of Obama's security circle and get PDB reports whereby Susan Rice had "official people" unmasked. From the Conservative Treehouse article: "An additional character within this wide-dissemination construct would be John Podesta. Remember, after Hillary Clinton stepped down from Secretary of State, she inserted, with Obama’s approval, John Podesta within the White House Senior Advisory staff to keep a communications line open with direct information. (As pictured below)"

Meanwhile President Narcissus Obama is partying for a month at the posh Brando resort on a French Polynesian island for a month...

So much about his caring for the poor and downtrodden... ;)

More like he knew he had to get outta Dodge when TSHTF.

Bob said: "My Navy clearance was only Secret ..."

As was my Army clearance.

I was one of about a dozen people in a class that required the clearance. We were each assigned a notebook that we could take notes in and study from. At the end of each class the notebooks were collected and passed out at the beginning of the next class. At the end of the class the notebooks were all destroyed.

One of the participants decided he didn't really want to take the class and requested to be released.

In evaluating his request it was revealed that he was actually in the class by mistake since he was leaving the service soon and had no need to know. His request was immediately approved and we never saw him again.

“I don’t think there are extradition treaties where is.”

It is French territory, covered by extradition - but he could have a big head start fleeing from there.

Maybe one of his billionaire buddies could lend him a superyacht, to stay at sea like a Bond villain...
