[Daily Caller] A group of special operations veterans and intelligence community officials have formally asked Secretary of State John Kerry to strip former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of her security clearance along with three of her top aides, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.The organization, called the Special Operations Educational Fund, wrote Kerry August 5 asking that he "immediately suspend the security clearances" because of Clinton's use of a private unsecured email server and domain name that contains classified information. SOF is a 501 (c) 4 nonprofit group.
The group also asked Kerry to administratively suspend the security clearances of Clinton and aides Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan.
The SOEF demands could significantly escalate the email crisis that has engulfed Clinton's campaign for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination in recent weeks.
The suspension of a access [security clearance] is SOP when someone is involved in an investigation such as this. A failure to suspend access brings into play the question: will anything come of this?
