Kerry State Dept. extended clearance of Hillary crony Mills to give her time to trash Hillary's e-mails

Unreal.


Normally when a government employee who had security clearance leaves the government, their clearance is immediately terminated - and understandably so. Why would they need it any longer if they no longer work for the government? When Hillary Clinton resigned as Secretary of State in January 2013, to be succeeded by John Kerry, her crony Cheryl Mills also left. But Mills's security clearance was strangely extended for several months beyond her departure. Why would Kerry agree to this? He did so at Hillary's request, and we'll let Fox News's Catherine Herridge take it from there:

Associated Press reporter Matt Lee asked Kirby if he knew when Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s former chief of staff, left the State Department. Kirby didn’t have an answer. “When did Ms. Mills cease to be an employee of the State Department?” Lee asked. “Uh, I do not have her exit date, Matt,” Kirby said, but was met again with a similar question. “It was not when Secretary Clinton left, correct?” Lee asked. “I don’t know for sure. I don’t know. You’re going to have to let me get back to you,” Kirby said. Just then, Herridge offered to read a State Department letter, which showed that Mills maintained a Top Secret clearance even after she left the State Department.


“Her clearance was going to be administratively terminated because her employment had finished,” Herridge said. “But then, Mrs. Clinton asked that it be extended so she could do research.” That “research,” Herridge said, was combing through Secretary Clinton’s emails to decide which would be deleted and which would be given to the State Department for review. “Now we know that the research was to go through the emails and determine what was government business and what should be deleted,” Herridge said. “Do I even need to be here?” Kirby joked in response to Herridge’s authoritative answer.
It doesn't sound like anyone has a need for John Kirby, since he has no idea what's happening and probably wouldn't tell the truth about it if he did. Everyone, including Kirby, has to depend on Catherine Herridge to know what's actually happening inside the State Department. But back to the matter at hand, do you realize just how bad this is? Remember, Hillary was using a private homebrew e-mail server exclusively for all her work-related e-mail. She refused to have State Department IT staff set up a state.gov e-mail address for her to use for work, insisting that she would instead use the clintonemail.com domain operated out of a server in a bathroom in Colorado. That means anything that by law is subject to the Freedom of Information Act or other archiving laws was inaccessible to the State Department unless someone in Hillary's camp turned them over. So Hillary finally leaves and Kerry takes over as Secretary of State, and Hillary wants Kerry to let someone who is no longer even a government employee maintain top secret clearance - all so she can comb through an e-mail server that, according to Hillary, never had so much as a single classified e-mail on it. How's that? If there was nothing classified, why would Mills need top secret clearance to go through it? Of course, because there were thousands of classified e-mails on there and scores of "top secret" ones. Hillary lied. But we all know Hillary lies every time she moves her lips. That's not news and apparently some of you don't even think it's important anymore. But why does John Kerry allow this? The very fact that Hillary made this request shows that she knew she was dealing in top secret information, and the only person who should have been looking at that information would be a State Department official with sufficient clearance to view it. But Hillary didn't want that, because she knew perfectly well that there was politically damaging information on that server. The only person she wanted going through that server was one of her cronies, someone she could trust to destroy the evidence that she is a liar who recklessly jeopardized national security to cover up her dirty dealings on behalf of the Clinton Foundation - which is nothing more than a slush fund to allow foreign governments and business interests to funnel money to the Clintons under the guise of charity. So this is the person you think you need to declare yourself ready to vote for because you're so caught up in your disgust with Donald Trump. Good luck with that. Hillary Clinton is one of the most corrupt, dishonest people alive. Putting the power of the presidency in this woman's hands would be the biggest mistake this country ever made. Don't be an idiot.
