Good thing 2016 focused on handling classified material Media covered it (and covered it), politicians debated it, and the American people spoke loud and clear: Carelessness unacceptable And lo! The government heard the message 'Twas never a problem againhttps://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/scores-top-white-house-officials-lack-permanent-security-clearances-n848191 …

Different sins, in my mind. HRC valued political precautions over security, a judgment not hers to make. Technically here, these decisions are Trump's to make. That he lacks competent WH staff has outraged me since the Christie team got purged in the transition.
-
I'm not saying they're identical. But I'm definitely saying this is worse. Sharing highly classified information with so many people who are information security risks is more dangerous. One doesn't excuse the other. But caring about info sec means caring about both.
-
The trump administration is certainly more dangerous from an infosec perspective (But I don't think Sanders and Ivanka are strong examples).
-
The two strongest examples are Porter and Kushner. That's why I listed them individually. The others were recognizable names in the list of more than 100 getting top secret info without real clearances.

I'm incredulous that there is an "interim" designation being used with such information. That simply does not exist in other places in the federal govt. You sit outside the action until you're clear. Period.
-
It's another instance of norms, not laws. The president has the power to share classified information at will. Therefore, the government can deny various individuals a formal security clearance, but cannot prevent the president from giving them access to the info if he wants to.
-
Also classifications differ wildly based on who grants them, and legislative side clearance procedures are different (bc of constitutional considerations, I've been told). It's a big complicated world.

No one would have cared about Hillary's handling of classified info if her name was Harry and last name wasn't Clinton

Nicholas, it's like the debt...only a concern of the GOP if they can beat up the opposition with it. If the Dems could play the game half as good as them we would not be in the mess we are now.

The inclusion of McGahn on the list should tell you your theory doesn’t fit.
