Kris Kobach, who could become President-elect Donald Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary, appears to be loose and careless with sensitive information.

In a tweet from the Topeka Capital-Journal, Kobach, who is currently Kansas’ Secretary of State, is seen with the President-elect, holding a folder with a set of documents on top, facing the camera. When the camera zooms in closer, the heading “DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY” is seen clearly, with the subhead “KOBACH STRATEGIC PLAN FOR FIRST 365 DAYS” underneath.

In one of the replies on that tweet’s comment thread, a Twitter user rotated the photo 90 degrees and enhanced the image resolution, to where the details of the document are seen. Among Kobach’s top priorities are reintroducing the Bush-era surveillance of Muslims and tracking of immigrants from conflict zones, instituting an outright ban on Syrian refugees to the United States, and language involving the augmentation of the current border wall between the United States and Mexico.

Secondary source; Primary source. (The Topeka Capital-Journal appears to be a legitimate newspaper.)

Wasn't one of the reasons Hillary was unsuited for office was that she handled classified material in a sloppy fashion? What do you think of our potential head of Homeland Security?

Now thats one hell of a camera zoom!

A wall, vetting and surveillance.

Nothing classified.

Is it the same thing?

nothing reveled that wasn't already mentioned. no real details.

Is this classified material? His "Plan"? He doesn't even have the job yet. Seems more like his "ideas" for his position to me.

And everything that they could read, sounds like good ideas. And what Trump wanted.

Too good to be true? My first thought was that it was a fake, so I tracked it back to the Capital-Journal, which appears to be legitimate. That sort of resolution is well within the capacities of a professional digital SLR.

not at all, it is within the capacities of most SLRs, but amazing detail!

Could also have been a planned slip, the details revealed are exactly the type of things his supporters would back and aren't exactly top secret. Staged.

I think he has a great plan in his hands.

Looks more like notes made in Microsoft Word and printed out for them to talk about in their next meeting. Keep trying. These attempts are already laughable but you guys are getting worse.

Sounds like a good plan to me. And the reveal is more of a breach of his privacy but nonetheless definitely no intent on his part. You lose twice.

Remember how Trump kept saying he wasn't going to give away any of his plans? Kris Kobach needs to develop better document handling habits if he is going to be a player in the "War on Terror." Personally, I would like to see the Department of Homeland Security dismantled and the Patriot Act thoroughly revoked. Both are threats to our Constitutional rights.

But it isn't marked classified !!!!

Not classified at the time !!!

Got it: when Clinton says the Commander in Chief has about three minutes to respond to a nuclear attack she should be hanged for treason, but when a potential spymaster doesn't have the brains to keep documents inside his portfolio, it's no big deal.

There's nothing classified here and tell me how much of that you can even read, bucko. All I can make out is "Record number of criminal aliens in first year." What's that first word? Hopefully DEPORT. Look at yourself, you're cracking up. This is beyond nothing.

Did you know it took 3 minutes? I didn't.

Did you know about a wall and the ban on Muslims? Yes you did.

REEEEEACCCCCHHHHHHING for something....hahahaha. Secret Plans. Yup. I think I see the nuke codes too....

a reply to: DJW001

I'll bet Mr. Kobach never makes that faux pas again, even if he's carrying recipes he had printed up. It would've been neat to see the look on his face when he realized.

Speaking of Homeland Security, I've read many times there is a morale problem within the agency. I hope whomever is chosen can do something about it. That would be newsworthy.

It's better here,

files.abovetopsecret.com...

Looks to be a prospectus, and I see the wall mentioned.......all of it perhaps?

It also looks like 'criminal alien' applies to any any arrest, not sure though.

Did I see....WWAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL?!?!
