Zero Granted HRC Access to Highly Classified Material While She Was Running for Pres
[Political Insider] A stunning report from Fox News indicates that the Obama administration granted former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and six of her top aides access to top secret and classified information ‐ even after she left the State Department in 2013, even after she announced a run for the White House in April of 2015, and even after FBI Director James Comey declared that Clinton and her staff had been "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley made the startling revelation in a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, noting that Clinton asked for access to the classified information because she was writing her memoir, Hard Choices.
That’s right ‐ The woman who had a home brew server installed in her bathroom and whose emails somehow ended up on laptops owned by serial snapchatter Anthony Weiner, was granted access to sensitive material so she could write a book.
Via Fox News:When Hillary Clinton resigned as Secretary of State in 2013, she negotiated continuing access to classified and top-secret documents for herself and six staffers under the designation "research assistants," according to a powerful senator who notes that Clinton was later deemed "extremely careless" with such information.
The staff apparently retained access even after Clinton announced her run for president in April 2015, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. The access was ostensibly granted to facilitate work on Clinton’s memoir, but Grassley said he was only able to verify it after the Obama administration left the White House.
President Obama’s administration repeatedly stonewalled Grassley’s requests for information on the classified information access.
