I understand why you like him.
Hey rickymoron, who do you suppose knows more about hacking for national secrets--you or General Flynn?
In other words, if we were in a court of law whose EXPERTISE would a jury take into consideration--yours or someone with actual insight?

And, here's some "right-wing press" going after her
:
Yes. It sounds so definitive...
Charles McCulllough, the intelligence community's inspector general, said in a letter to the chairmen of the Senate intelligence and foreign affairs committees that he has received sworn declarations from an intelligence agency he declined to name
Pretty short on details.. no? And when people decline to name "anonymous sources"?
You are either stupid, can't read, or dishonest. Those aren't "anonymous sources." They are known. Their names were not revealed by the IG. That's so they cannot be retaliated against.
This is a systemic problem... And the IG probably is in a position to have identified it long ago...But didn't. (Nor did the NSA or anyone in cyber security) From your article...
No, it's not a "systemic problem." From the article:
Emails from Hillary Clinton's home server contained information classified at levels higher than previously known, including a level meant to protect some of the most sensitive U.S. intelligence, according to a document obtained by NBC News.
It was Clinton's server. Her PRIVATE server. That has NOTHING to do with the "system." It's outside the system.
the State Department has long faced the problem of how to communicate about sensitive matters. Unlike the CIA, State does most of its business over an unclassified email system, and many officials do not have easy access to a classified messaging system.
Absolute obfuscation.
The FREAKING SECRETARY OF STATE is supposed to know what is/is not classified. She is obligated to make notification whenever the classification system is violated, e.g she receives classified information.
Read this carefully:One of the classified email chains discovered on Hillary Clinton’s personal unsecured server discussed an Afghan national’s ties to the CIA and a report that he was on the agency’s payroll, a U.S. government official with knowledge of the document told Fox News.
The discussion of a foreign national working with the U.S. government raises security implications – an executive order signed by President Obama said such unauthorized disclosures are “presumed to cause damage to the national security."
The U.S. government official said the Clinton email exchange, which referred to a New York Times report, was among 29 classified emails recently provided to congressional committees with specific clearances to review them. In that batch were 22 “top secret” exchanges deemed too damaging to national security to release.
Confirmation that one of these exchanges concerned a reported CIA asset means the emails went beyond issues like the drone strike campaign. Democrats repeatedly have said some messages referred to this, reinforcing Clinton's position that the documents are over-classified.
No, it wasn't about an NYT story. The NYT story was referenced in the email, but there were also classified details about a CIA asset.
More:
National security and intelligence experts emphasized to Fox News that security clearance holders are trained to not confirm or deny details of a classified program in an unclassified setting, which would include a personal unsecured email network, even if the classified program appears in press reports.
“The rules of handling classified information dictate if something is reported in open source [news reports] you don’t confirm it because it’s still classified information,” said Dan Maguire, who spent more than four decades handling highly classified programs and specialized in human intelligence operations.
As secretary of state, Clinton signed at least two non-disclosure agreements (NDA) on Jan. 22, 2009, and received a briefing from a security officer whose identity was redacted. As part of the NDA for “sensitive compartmented information” (SCI), Clinton acknowledged any “breach” could result in “termination of my access to SCI and removal from a position of special confidence and trust requiring such access as well as the termination of my employment or any other relationships with any Department or Agency that provides me with access to SCI."
It is remains unclear how classified materials “jumped the gap” from a classified system to her personal server.
Again, why did she have this private server?
According to her, "convenience."
More likely: so she could control information leaks and fight FOIA requests.
Both are illegal.
Have a nice day, safe and secure in your ignorance.
