Uh oh.

In short: Information at the “TOP SECRET//SI//TK//NOFORN” level is considered exceptionally highly classified and must be handled with great care under penalty of serious consequences for mishandling. Every person who is cleared and “read on” for access to such information signs reams of paperwork and receives detailed training about how it is to be handled, no exceptions–and what the consequences will be if the rules are not followed.

Hillary Rodham Snowden

The U.S. intelligence community is bracing for the possibility that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email account contains hundreds of revelations of classified information from spy agencies and is taking steps to contain any damage to national security, according to documents and interviews Thursday.

It’s a good thing she’s a Clinton, and not a Petraeus.

Two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state, senior government officials said Thursday.
The request follows an assessment in a June 29 memo by the inspectors general for the State Department and the intelligence agencies that Mrs. Clinton’s private account contained “hundreds of potentially classified emails.” The memo was written to Patrick F. Kennedy, the under secretary of state for management.

That’ll happen.

Where SDA boldly goes, others eventually follow.

Most of the American electorate has probably been ready for a woman president for some time. But that woman must have the right array of qualities and ideally have risen to prominence through her own talents and not (like Hillary Clinton or Argentina’s President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner) through her marriage to a powerful man.

I outdid myself with that poll question, I think.

The Republicans have been lucky the last couple of primaries. Lots of competition and for good or bad, the candidate chosen by the people was their nominee.
Clinton didn’t plan for that kind of campaign. Her whole campaign to this point has been about nothing: no waves, no press, no questions. Her team expected to cruise through the nominations because no Democrat would have the guts to take her on. Who wants to get on the bad side of ‘the Clinton machine’?
Not so fast, says Sanders. It looks like the Democrat voters might be agreeing with him.

What difference does it make?

“We call on the AFL-CIO, union members and working people everywhere to unite behind Bernie Sanders and elect the president Americas’ workers desperately need,” the resolution said. The resolution “strongly urges” the national AFL-CIO to endorse Sanders.

The woman knows no shame.

This is a couple of days old, but it’s still fun to watch.

Unconfirmed Sources: Hillary has locked herself in a bathroom and won’t come out.

The newly released financial files on Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s growing fortune omit a company with no apparent employees or assets that the former president has legally used to provide consulting and other services, but which demonstrates the complexity of the family’s finances. […]
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to provide private details of the former president’s finances on the record, said the entity was a “pass-through” company designed to channel payments to the former president.
