Also had TS-SCI Clearance, but even that didn't equal a "need to know".

Despite my clearance, there were several times I was asked to leave the SKIF because I had no "access" to the stuff being discussed.

As a Security Manager who ran a SKIF, if I had even made an honest mistake with TS-SCI, TS, S, Confidential, or even NOFORN materials, I would have lost my job, and most likely been subject to Courts Martial.

There is NO justification for Donnie Dipshit having such material at a fucking golf course.
