The American Media Maggots are making Palin’s endorsement of Trump Tuesday’s focus, in an attempt to obfuscate and divert attention from the REAL story.
From Politico.com:
Watchdog: Clinton’s server had classified material beyond ‘top secret’
by Rachael Bade & Josh GersteinIntelligence officials have discovered sensitive national security information on Hillary Clinton’s server that goes beyond the “top secret” level, the intelligence community inspector general told lawmakers in a letter last week.
In a copy of the Jan. 14 correspondence obtained by POLITICO, Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III told both the Senate Intelligence and Senate Foreign Relations committees that intelligence agencies found messages relating to what are known as “special access programs,” or SAP. That’s an even more restricted subcategory of sensitive compartmented information, or SCI, top secret national security information derived from sensitive intelligence sources.
Information like this is mandating a continued clear investigatory path by the 6’8″ James Comey’s FBI — a director who has never shied away from Obama.
The Business Insider writes, in explanation:
Intelligence is allocated to a special-access program when “the vulnerability of, or threat to, specific information is exceptional,” according to Executive Order 13526, which was signed by US President Barack Obama in late 2009 and details how to properly handle and protect classified national-security information.
Clinton signed a nondisclosure contract when she got to the State Department, in which she agreed to “never divulge anything marked SCI [sensitive compartmented information] or that I know to be SCI to anyone who is not authorized to receive it without prior authorization from the US Government department or agency that authorized my access.”
FoxNews.com adds:
Intelligence from a “special access program,” or SAP, is even more sensitive than that designated as “top secret” – as were two emails identified last summer in a random sample pulled from Clinton’s private server she used as secretary of state. Access to a SAP is restricted to those with a “need-to-know” because exposure of the intelligence would likely reveal the source, putting a method of intelligence collection — or a human asset — at risk. Currently, some 1,340 emails designated “classified” have been found on Clinton’s server, though the Democratic presidential candidate insists the information was not classified at the time.
“There is absolutely no way that one could not recognize SAP material,” a former senior law enforcement with decades of experience investigating violations of SAP procedures told Fox News. “It is the most sensitive of the sensitive.”
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT ONE COULD NOT RECOGNIZE SAP MATERIAL.
Now check this:
While the State Department and Clinton campaign have said the emails in questions were “retroactively classified” or “upgraded” – to justify the more than 1,300 classified emails on her server – those terms are meaningless under federal law.
THOSE TERMS ARE MEANINGLESS UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
Hillary Clinton comes ever closer to being criminally indicted, and it couldn’t happen to a more applicable person.
A very important note from Guy Benson:
According to court documents, former CIA Director David Petraeus was prosecuted for sharing intelligence from special access programs with his biographer and mistress Paula Broadwell. At the heart of his prosecution was a non-disclosure agreement where Petraeus agreed to protect these closely held government programs, with the understanding “unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention or negligent handling … could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation.” Clinton signed an identical non-disclosure agreement Jan. 22, 2009.

The sagacious Charles Krauthammer weighs in:
Krauthammer’s Take: Hillary E-mail Scandal Now ‘Worse than What Snowden Did’
Petraeus, as was mentioned earlier, he pled guilty because precisely this kind of information he shared. And I don’t see, given the fact that he is the inspector general of the intelligence community who was writing this officially to the intelligence committee heads in Congress that there is any way to contradict this. It is not a news story. This is an investigative story. And now it’s in the hands of the FBI. It’s hard to imagine that the Department of Justice will ignore this or wave it away.”
Finally, as I theorized here, is this the next step?
Will an arrogant, corrupt, law-breaking Clinton finally be indicted?

WHY is that evil it not hung by the neck until dead yet at least in a super max yet? This is far beyond partisan bickering.
I predict that if, for ANY reason, that Comey is thrown off the investigation or that the FBI does not bring charges, and that the it is not found guilty BEFORE the party nomination, then the people shall rise up and forcibly overtake the scoundrels in D.C. en masse because at that point there will exist unequivocal evidence that the govt operates with zero regard or the law. If it ever gets near the WH it’s party like it’s 1775.
What are the odds of my prediction being true, I don’t know. But I do know there are millions, tens of millions of American citizens who are quite near the end of their tolerance for this duplicitous govt. One more straw, one more match strike and it’s on.
Richard, first, the problem will be with the DOJ. The FBI, of course, only conducts the investigation and provides its results. It is up to Loretta Lynch to decide (actually, to OBAMA and JARRETT) whether or not to prosecute. Comey won’t be the issue; he has already bucked heads with Obaka.
I think Hillary is perilously close to an indictment.

There are a whole host of ‘other’ questions that aren’t being asked or answered here, for GOOD reasons re SAPs. Who was on the list, and who actually stripped header and footer info? Who moved it from a secure system to an unclass system, and by what means? That stuff is STRICTLY regulated, almost to the point of the absurd. I will guarantee you there was a VERY short list of folks that were read in, and most probably not to all of the programs. I wonder if Hillary was even read in herself… Normally they aren’t unless specifically required for ‘reasons’.
I don’t think there’s — in my opinion — any question regarding the fact patterns. Anyone ELSE would be clapped in irons by now. Petraeus himself may be retroactively DEMOTED by SecDef Ash Carter. OBAMA’s Ash Carter.
Nixon was forced to resign behind a burglary. Clinton and Obama are RESPONSIBLE for FOUR American deaths and they flourish.
What the FUCK is wrong with our nation?

As long as the killer beast is a dehmiturd the courts will dismiss ALL counts against here, just because it is a dehmiturd.
Remember the GDR?
German Democratic Republic.
Sounds like a freedom loving place,doesn’t it?
Yeah, East Germany at it’s absolute worst.
Our own political Party, the Democratic Party, is heading that way with Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton running for our USA election.
Hopefully the Republican Party will become part of our Conservative Party.
Our future here is at stake in this coming election.
So, vote for Trump or Cruz.
Maybe both will run together?
