She didn't protect American lives in Benghazi.
She didn't protect American top-secret intelligence.
She lied about both.
She should be jailed.
Some of Hillary Clinton’s emails on her private server containedinformation so secret that senior lawmakers who oversee the State Departmentcannot read them without fulfilling additional security requirements, Fox Newshas learned.
The emails in question, as Fox News first reported earlier this week, containedintelligence classified at a level beyond “top secret.” Because of thisdesignation, not all the lawmakers on key committees reviewing the case havehigh enough clearances.
A source with knowledge of the intelligence review told Fox News that senior members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, despite having high-level clearances, are among those not authorized to read the intelligence from so-called “special access programs” without taking additional security steps -- like signing new non-disclosure agreements.
These programs are highly restricted to protect intelligencecommunity sources and methods.
As Fox News previously reported, a Jan. 14 letter fromIntelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III to seniorlawmakers said an intelligence review identified "several dozen"additional classified emails -- including specific intelligence from"special access programs" (SAP).
That indicates a level of classification beyond even “top secret,”the label previously given to two emails found on her server, and brings evenmore scrutiny to the Democratic presidential candidate’s handling of thegovernment’s closely held secrets.
Fox News is told that the reviewers who handled the SAP intelligenceidentified in Clinton’s emails had to sign additional non-disclosure agreementseven though they already have the highest level of clearance -- known as TS/SCI or TopSecret/Sensitive Compartmented information. This detail was first reported byNBC News.
This alone seems to undercut the former secretary of state’s andother officials’ claims that the material is "innocuous."
In an interview with NPR, Clinton claimed thelatest IG finding doesn’t change anything and suggested it was politically motivated. “This seems to me to be, you know, another effort to inject thisinto the campaign, it's another leak,” she said. “I'm just going to leave it upto the professionals at the Justice Department because nothing that this says changes the fact that I never sent or received material marked classified.”
Despite Clinton's claims, it is the content that is classified; the markings on the documents do not affect that.
A former Justice Department official said there is another problem -- warnings from State Department IT employees and others that she should be using a government account.
“If you have a situation where someone was knowingly violating the law and that they knew that what they were doing was prohibited by federal law because other people were saying, you're violating the law, knock it off,and they disregarded that advice and they went ahead, that's a very difficult case to defend,” Thomas Dupree said.
