Mishandling classified material is a serious crime in government circles. There are severe penalties for infractions. However, it seems like the current administration is taking a vacation from enforcing those rules (other than when the rules involve General Petraeus<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Catherine Herridge<\/a> has posted a story on Fox News<\/a> today about documents found on Hillary Clinton’s private server<\/a>. The story reports that the intelligence community<\/a> has re-affirmed that two emails on Hillary Clinton’s private server were classified “top secret” when they arrived on the server.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The agencies that owned and originated that intelligence \u2013 the CIA<\/a> and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency<\/a> or NGA \u2013 reviewed the emails to determine how they should be properly stored, as the State Department<\/a> took issue with their highly classified<\/a> nature. The subject matter of the messages is widely reported to be the movement of North Korean<\/a> missiles and a drone strike. A top secret designation requires the highest level of security, and can include the use of an approved safe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sources, who were not authorized to speak on the record, told Fox News that while the emails were indeed \u201ctop secret\u201d when they hit Clinton\u2019s server, one of them remains \u201ctop secret\u201d to this day — and must be handled at the highest security level. The second email is still considered classified but at the lower \u201csecret\u201d level because more information is publicly available about the event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The findings have been transmitted to the State Department, which continues to challenge the intelligence community\u2019s conclusions about the classification of all the emails. But the department has no authority to change the classification since it did not originate the information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is time to elect and appoint people to government positions who will put America’s best interests ahead of either political party. Hillary Clinton’s private server was a serious breach of protocol that put sensitive information in the hands of people who are not friendly to America. A private server is much easier for hackers to breech than a government server with layers of security. Putting classified information on a private server was illegal and needs to be handled in a legal matter. I seriously wonder if anyone in the current administration is willing to do that. As of now we do not have equal justice under the law, one of America’s founding principles. That is a serious problem both in this case and in the future.<\/p>\n
