We now have an established pattern of blatant abuse of classification authority coming from this administration. First classifying the transcript of the Ukraine call and now going after people over retroactively classified information (which if I followed right is CLEARLY not worthy of being classified).

Is there a penalty here beyond losing your clearance? If the penalties are purely administrative then isn't there precedent that due process isn't required?

The article doesn't talk about criminal charges, just "potential security violations". Quote As many as 130 officials have been contacted in recent weeks by State Department investigators — a list that includes senior officials who reported directly to Clinton as well as others in lower-level jobs whose emails were at some point relayed to her inbox, said current and former State Department officials. Those targeted were notified that emails they sent years ago have been retroactively classified and now constitute potential security violations, according to letters reviewed by The Washington Post. Quote Many of those who have been targeted by the probe and found “not culpable,” described it as an effort to harass diplomats for the routine conduct of their job. Quote Those targeted do not appear to be in jeopardy of criminal prosecution — the FBI investigation of the Clinton email case has been closed since before the 2016 election. But many fear the results of the probe will damage their reputations and complicate their ability to maintain security clearances. Several said they have received follow-on letters saying that investigators “determined that the [security] incident is valid,” but that they did not “bear any individual culpability” — an ambiguous designation that could pose complications in future background checks and confirmation hearings. “It gives them a way to hassle pretty much anyone,” a former senior U.S. official said.

Rodimus Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Justice Department really is doing the Presidents bidding on this. Full on investigate rivals. Also hasn't Ivanka already gotten in trouble for the same thing storing government emails on Private Servers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I’m willing to trade with Republicans. Trump gets impeached and removed from office, and they can impeach Hillary and remove her from office too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Sure, we’ll impeach both Biden’s. I’ll throw in a free impeachment of McCain too. With Hillary that’s 4 impeachment’s for the price of one. A deal even Trump could love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
