State Department probe of Clinton emails finds no deliberate mishandling of classified information
washington post ^ | 10/18/2019 | greg miller

A multiyear State Department probe of emails that were sent to former secretary of state Hillary Clinton’s private computer server concluded there was no systemic or deliberate mishandling of classified information by department employees, according to a report submitted to Congress this month.

The report appears to represent a final and anticlimactic chapter in a controversy that overshadowed the 2016 presidential campaign and exposed Clinton to fierce criticism that she later cited as a major factor in her loss to President Trump.

In the end, State Department investigators found 38 current or former employees “culpable” of violating security procedures — none involving material that had been marked classified — in a review of roughly 33,000 emails that had been sent to or from the personal computer system Clinton used.

Obama, Biden, Holder, Clinton, Lerner, Lynch, Comey, McCabe, Clapper, Brenner... did nothing wrong.

The only person in DC who did anything wrong is Trump!

These people are given very precise guidelines concerning how to and how not to handle classified information.

Nobody that participated in using Clinton’s private eMail server did so without knowing what they were doing was wrong.

It was a criminal offense.

They are told these things over and over and over again. As I understand it, staff have to attend classes each month for refreshers concerning how to handle classified information.

The idea that nobody here had any forethought about committing an illegal act, is preposterous.

If a low level person had done what these people did, they would have been prosecuted and placed in prison.

Others have raised the issue of Ambassador Stevens and his staff. Did they die because of leaks from those 600 violations?

Our EQUAL justice system no longer exists, the country is VERY CLOSE to becoming Venezuela where the powerful become VERY WEALTHY and do not have to follow the law, in my mind America the republic is DONE as hard as Trump tries he can NOT change this the corruption is bigger than him!! Our side has absolutely no interest in cleaning up the corruption because they are just as corrupt Trump is alone in this and they will kill him before they EVER change their way of life!!! I have always wondered about JFK’s death and TODAY I believe firmly that the CIA was responsible, this organization has been corrupt forever!!! What disturbs me more than anything is the military is now a part of the deep state, I believe that Trump brought the Generals into his administration because he did not know who to trust, he believed he could trust Generals in the military he was sadly mistaken!! The military is as infected as the FBI, CIA, STATE, IRS, DEA, ATF the only damn part of the government not infected is ICE and border patrol!!!

You’re doing what I do. I get wound up and rattle of some pretty good sounding stuff (not always) just trashing what is taking place.

I look back at 2000. The criminal activity may have been there, but it wasn’t as overt.

Today nearly 20 years later, it’s just full in your face.

Imagine what it will be like by 2040.

It may not be deliberate, but it is negligent and that is cause enough for prosecution regarding classified information. If the security guard at any military installation finds a safe unlocked, a report is filed and the person responsible for the safe will be written up. Neglect of duty is a chargeable crime.

And the Washington Post, that unbiased, pure, truth-telling publication has given the Imprimatur so we can all be assured that

NOTHING WRONG HAPPENED WHEN THE DEMOCRATS WERE IN CHARGE.

So, let’s give them another chance...at DESTROYING THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA.

That disappeared down the black hole and so did some that viewed the information contained within. Those files will never see the “light of day”. Governments would collapse.

References? Totally believable, but I'd like to know more.

I thought the frequency of Arkanicides had declined of late.

I worked in a SCIF in the USAF. I’m pretty sure if I committed 600 violations, I’d be in prison...

An IT friend of mine ran an electric cord outside of a SCIF to run a space heater in an outer office..Fired on the spot during an audit and barred from working on any DOD contract.

Good to know...

Both the @NYTIMES and @WashingtonPost have headlines that falsely report that the State Dept analysis found "no deliberate" mishandling of classified info tied Clinton email abuse. This is false and contradicts the plain words of the report. https://t.co/RYzjGMsqzS— Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) October 19, 2019

The new demonrat definition of “violation” is nothing untoward, move along, nothing to see unless it’s done by a R.
