BRYAN NISHIMURA
Nishimura, a former Naval reservist in Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008 and a regional engineer for the U.S. military, was investigated for downloading and storing classified information on his personal electronic devices.
Prosecutors say he carried the materials with him off-base in Afghanistan and took classified Army records to his home in Folsom, California, after his deployment ended.
His lawyer, William Portanova, said Nishimura never intended to break the law but was a "pack rat" who thought nothing of warehousing Army records at home alongside personal belongings.
FBI agents who searched his home found classified military records, both in hard copy and digital form. Nishimura also admitted to investigators that he had destroyed some of the information.
Nishimura pleaded guilty in July to unauthorized removal and retention of classified materials. A judge fined him $7,500, and he was ordered to surrender his security clearance.
The violation was a technical and unintentional one, Portanova said, but one that the Justice Department nonetheless thought it needed to punish "to make its point."

Common citizen that has no business sending it.
Did Clinton lose her security clearance? Ball's in your court.
... you can keep you security clearance after leaving the federal government. A regular Secret Clearance is good for 10 years and a Top Secret Clearance is good for 5 years. Most agencies will accept another agency's security clearance as the basis for issuing their own clearance, as long as the original clearance had not yet expired.
If you leave the federal government entirely and do not become a contractor, your clearance may expire more quickly. The Department of State will only revalidate a security clearance if you have been out of the Federal Government for less than 2 years. The clearance policy of other federal departments and agencies may differ.

Oh, I can't wait to see the mental gymnastics that are coming from the Hillary supporters to rationalize the fact that she did this.
Come on folks, Correct the Record for us!

I haven't heard this claim before. The Clinton emails included TS/SCI or SAP information. Was the clintonemail.com server in a SCIF or SAPF? Did conform to the INFOSEC and EMSEC requirements of the relevant ICPGs or the NISPOM Supplement? Did it pass its annual security reviews? Were the communication circuits between Clinton's devices and her server encrypted with the appropriate NSA-approved Type 1 devices and key material? Was everyone with access to the server cleared and read in to every SCI control system or SAP that passed through it?
I'm sure her house could accommodate a TSCIF so she could do work while she was in Chappaqua, but was this server, specifically, as "secure as any government server?" Or was it just some machine sitting on the internet?

I do not think there is reason to believe that Hillary lost her sooner than that.

"" Clinton Emailed Classified Information AFTER Leaving State Dept. ""
This is damning to her campaign.
The bigger the lies, the farther they fall.
