Records show Clinton received just one training brief on classified info

[NWCorona]

"Hillary Clinton received just one formal briefing about how to handle classified materials during her four years as the secretary of State, according to internal documents released to the Daily Caller.

The lone security briefing came on Jan. 22, 2009, just a day after Clinton was confirmed by the Senate to serve as the nation’s top diplomat, records released to the news organization under a Freedom of Information Act request show

The single briefing appears to violate a portion of the department’s Foreign Affairs Manual, which declares that senior staffers receive training on “identifying and marking” classified material “on an annual basis.”
The lack of documentation does not preclude the possibility that Clinton received informal briefings and updates about government classification processes or that her subsequent briefings were not memorialized in writing."


How is this even possible? Hillary was an authorized designator as SoS. This just gets stranger and stranger.

1. More wall BS. nt

2. Not really

The press secretary admitted that she skipped the meeting.

3. Eh. Those briefings are 100% useless, but it's in black letter that they're supposed to happen

Oddly enough this one actually might be a problem, because there are no two ways about that requirement.

4. Yes they can be a bit boilerplate but SOP must be followed

I know of a few people who've had their credentials suspended when they missed mandatory security briefings.
