Special Forces Col. James Williamson (Ret.) told TheDCNF that SAP classified documents are “the most sensitive of sensitive information” and that normal classified storage facilities, called Special Compartmentalized Information Facilities (SCIF), cannot provide adequate protection for SAP information.
“Within a SCIF, you have an additional SCIF, which is even further compartmentalized for SAP’s, giving them an additional layer of security,” Williamson said.
The SAP system is so restricted that one SAP clearance does not entitle a government official to access another SAP program. In addition, “Top Secret” clearances do not automatically permit a government official to view a SAP document. Government officials can only have access on a need-to-know basis.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter said in a February 2013 guidance document, “SAPs must be established and maintained only when absolutely necessary to protect the nation’s most sensitive capabilities.”
Carter also warned that “access to a SAP will be strictly limited to the minimum number of personnel necessary for execution of the program.”
At least one of the emails on Clinton’s server was coded as “HCS-O,” which refers to human intelligence sources in an ongoing operation, according to Fox News.
“If we had a high placed human asset at a high level Taliban or al Qaeda location, that would be an HSC-O,” Williamson told TheDCNF. “So when that was compromised, and it was compromised because it was on an unclassified server in Chappaqua, conceivably that was a human agent or possibly a U.S. intelligence officer that was exposed,” he said. Chappaqua, N.Y. is the private Clinton residence where the server resided.
Waurishuk agreed, saying that having SAP documents on an unsecured server, “can result in the death of people in the field.”
Attempting to move SAP-classified documents from the government’s secure system to her non-secure computer channel presented Clinton and her aides with formidable barriers to overcome.
“You have to physically do it. You have to willfully violate the law. There is no connectivity in any way between classified and non-classified systems,” said Williamson.
“In order for Mrs. Clinton to get Top Secret/Special Access Programs onto her private server, numerous, redundant safeguards were deliberately bypassed, probably by unauthorized personnel who were given access to these documents. It was a deliberate, intentional act. It just could not happen by accident,” Waurishuk said.
Encrypted SAP documents are sent to a computer channel via satellites maintained by the National Security Agency. Users in a SAP SCIF normally cannot print or fax information to any non-SAP system or to an unsecured system. Thumb nail drives, cell phones and any kind of Wi-Fi are strictly forbidden inside a SAP SCIF.
Each SAP details information for a specific, designated operation, weapon system, military test, diplomatic activity or intelligence operation.
Waurishuk, who was a SAP program manager at one point in his career, said a government official “cannot have accesses to a SAP’s unless they receive a special indoctrination into the SAP based on an operational ‘must know’ that exceeds all other ‘need to know’ standards.”
He said that Clinton’s “staff aides like Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills had absolutely ‘zero’ reason to have any access to any SAPs, period. How that happened and who authorized it is criminal in itself.”
Clinton asked her aide, Jacob Sullivan in a June 17, 2011 email to turn a classified document into “non-paper.”
“If they can’t, turn into nonpaper w(ith) no identifying heading and send nonsecure,” she directed her aide.
“They’re working on it,” Sullivan replied.
“What was going through this woman’s mind as she is reading this information on her own unclassified system,” asked Flynn. Did she think that nobody, the Russians or the Chinese was looking at it? Did she think this was the right thing to do?
Rep. Mike Pompeo , a Republican member of the House Intelligence Committee from Kansas, told TheDCNF that many members of the committee were reluctant to access SAP documents as they believed fewer eyes meant more control over the highly secretive information.
“The fewer people on intelligence that see it, or are exposed to it, have it presented it to them, the more likely it is that we will successfully keep that information in the hands of only those who should know it. SAP or compartmentalized information certainly fall in that bucket,” Pompeo said.
Clinton’s campaign did not respond to TheDCNF’s request for comment.
Bloomberg on the other hand reported:
The U.S. State Department released another 551 of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails from her time as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state, including about 15 percent that had been given updated security classifications after the fact.
More than 1,000 pages of documents sent from Clinton’s private e-mail account and released on Saturday included 81 messages upgraded to “confidential,” which is the lowest level of classification, and three to “secret,” said a State Department official.
The e-mails had not been tagged classified at the time they were sent, according to the official, who asked not to be identified. None of the latest messages had been labeled “top secret,” a designation that had been given to 22 e-mails withheld from release in January.
I'd like to ask the Bloomber reporter.....just what F'n difference does it make that the documents "had not be tagged classified at the time they were sent" in determining whether or not HillDog broke the law? Must documents be so marked for it to be illegal to share or expose documents conatining classified materials? In case the dope didn't know, the answer is IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE....the violation is determined if the CONTENT is classified....
But then the libtard robot would then say, "But, SFNit, these emails/documents were "given updated classifications after the fact"......Oh, boy, they could hardly have been reviewed and properly classified at the time they were sent, because HillDog and her crew weren't submitting the info for security reviews. In fact, they were sending this stuff to and from her private fvcking server, you idiot......it wasn't a matter of "Updating" anything....these emails are being retroactively (and initially) classified once intelligence people learned they existed....
Then, I'd direct the Bloomberg reporter to the Daily Caller article and advise him to educate himself....
