THE DEVICES THE FBI DECIDED NOT TO CHECK

Excerpted from Paul Sperry’s devastating article in yesterday’s New York Post…but just about nowhere else (thanks again, ABC, CBS and NBC):

As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton routinely asked her maid to print out sensitive government emails and documents — including ones containing classified information — from her house in Washington, DC, emails and FBI memos show. But the housekeeper lacked the security clearance to handle such material.

In fact, Marina Santos was called on so frequently to receive emails that she may hold the secrets to emailgate — if only the FBI and Congress would subpoena her and the equipment she used.

Clinton entrusted far more than the care of her DC residence, known as Whitehaven, to Santos. She expected the Filipino immigrant to handle state secrets, further opening the Democratic presidential nominee to criticism that she played fast and loose with national security.

Clinton would first receive highly sensitive emails from top aides at the State Department and then request that they, in turn, forward the messages and any attached documents to Santos to print out for her at the home.

In a classified 2012 email dealing with the new president of Malawi, another Clinton aide, Monica Hanley, advised Clinton, “We can ask Marina to print this.”

“Revisions to the Iran points” was the subject line of a classified April 2012 email to Clinton from Hanley. In it, the text reads, “Marina is trying to print for you.”

Both classified emails were marked “confidential,” the tier below “secret” or “top secret.”

Santos also had access to a highly secure room called an SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) that diplomatic security agents set up at Whitehaven, according to FBI notes from an interview with Abedin.

From within the SCIF, Santos — who had no clearance — “collected documents from the secure facsimile machine for Clinton,” the FBI notes revealed.

Do yourself a favor:  use the link I’ve provided and read Mr. Sperry’s entire piece, because there is a great deal more – all of it just as devastating…and, if you’re asking me, incriminating.

If the FBI knew that Maria Santos was being used to handle classified information…

…why has the FBI not confiscated the devices?

And while we’re on the subject…

…how is this not lead story-quality material for the network news?

Is this what Donald Trump means when he says the election is rigged?

If so, he is spot-on correct.
