Clinton directed her maid to print out classified materials

As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton routinely asked her maid to print out sensitive government e-mails and documents ‐ including ones containing classified information ‐ from her house in Washington, DC, e-mails and FBI memos show. But the housekeeper lacked the security clearance to handle such material.

In fact, Marina Santos was called on so frequently to receive e-mails that she may hold the secrets to E-mailgate ‐ if only the FBI and Congress would subpoena her and the equipment she used.

Clinton entrusted far more than the care of her DC residence, known as Whitehaven, to Santos. She expected the Filipino immigrant to handle state secrets, further opening the Democratic presidential nominee to criticism that she played fast and loose with national security.

Clinton would first receive highly sensitive e-mails from top aides at the State Department and then request that they, in turn, forward the messages and any attached documents to Santos to print out for her at the home.

Among other things, Clinton requested Santos print out drafts of her speeches, confidential memos and "call sheets" ‐ background information and talking points prepared for the secretary of state in advance of a phone call with a foreign head of state.

"Pls ask Marina to print for me in am," Clinton e-mailed top aide Huma Abedin regarding a redacted 2011 message marked sensitive but unclassified.

In a classified 2012 e-mail dealing with the new president of Malawi, another Clinton aide, Monica Hanley, advised Clinton, "We can ask Marina to print this."

"Revisions to the Iran points" was the subject line of a classified April 2012 e-mail to Clinton from Hanley. In it, the text reads, "Marina is trying to print for you."

Both classified e-mails were marked "confidential," the tier below "secret" or "top secret."

Santos also had access to a highly secure room called an SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) that diplomatic security agents set up at Whitehaven, according to FBI notes from an interview with Abedin.

From within the SCIF, Santos ‐ who had no clearance ‐ "collected documents from the secure facsimile machine for Clinton," the FBI notes revealed.

Just how sensitive were the papers Santos presumably handled? The FBI noted Clinton periodically received the Presidential Daily Brief ‐ a top-secret document prepared by the CIA and other US intelligence agencies ‐ via the secure fax.

A 2012 "sensitive" but unclassified e-mail from Hanley to Clinton refers to a fax the staff wanted Clinton "to see before your Netanyahu mtg. Marina will grab for you."

Yet it appears Clinton was never asked by the FBI in its yearlong investigation to turn over the iMac Santos used to receive the e-mails, or the printer she used to print out the documents, or the printouts themselves.

#4 The Hildabeest must believe in "open borders" when it comes to classified information.

Because if the Beest goes down prosecutors will find out that Baraq was complicit in the whole deal and he will go down too. That's why Janet Lynch is doing everything she possibly can to prevent FBI and NYPD from going forward with their investigations. Besides all that, legacy.

#7 I remember back in the 90's when the World Wide Web was new and exciting I was tasked with designing web pages for my company. When I had done so I would notify the assistant general manager's (AGM) assistant who would then print the web pages for the AGM to review. This is because the AGM was either incapable of using a computer or just plain couldn't be bothered. That kind of arrogance and ignorance at Hillary Clinton's level is extremely dangerous.

'Access to SCIFs is normally limited to those individuals with appropriate security clearances.[1] Non-cleared personnel in SCIF must be under the constant oversight of cleared personnel and all classified information and material removed from view in order to prevent unauthorized access to said information and material;[2] as part of this process, non-cleared personnel are also typically required to surrender all recording, photographic and other electronic media devices.[3] All of the activity and conversation inside is presumed restricted from public disclosure.'

Reality is weirder than a 'Get Smart' episode.

Given this, how are all these elaborate security protocols that are practiced by the various agencies anything but meaningless Cargo Cult rituals?

#12 That why I found the Snowden hysteria laughable. If a contract sysadmin could scoop up that much material the Russians and the Chinese surely had and continue to have much deeper levels of NSA access given their humint capabilities.
