Now Hillary is changing her story ... just a little ... again, in that
famous Clintonesque way. This weekend, she modified her statement about sending or receiving classified emails on her private server by saying, "I did not email anything that was classified at the time." The "that was classified at the time" is new. Before this weekend she claimed she never sent any classified emails period. Meanwhile, there is growing evidence, including from the NSA that indeed, some of the emails contained information that was definitely classified. Concern exists that classified information was subject to being compromised. She violated government policy and rules. She denies it, yet now alludes to the fact that some of the emails "may have become classified". When it was requested that the server's emails be turned over for inspection, she first refused, then selectively offered the emails she was willing to release and "destroyed" the rest. Trustworthy? What a joke. I wonder if people serving in high government positions are subject to the FBI background checks that us mere mortals are required to undergo for security clearances. I held security clearances both in the military and later as a civilian because one of the DOD programs I was involved with in business required access to classified information. In both cases, a background check was done by the FBI which included friends and relatives being interviewed and asked questions about my past and current activities. I remember the civilian one well because issuance of the clearance was held up temporarily because the FBI needed more information as to why I traveled to the PRC back in 1986. Both the military and the DOD have specific regulations as to how classified information and/or documents are handled and stored. Inspections are conducted to ensure compliance. I know a guy (he was the president of another company involved in the program) who was indited and sentenced to a two year house arrest (wearing an ankle bracelet) for failure to properly maintain classified data at his company. |
