According to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), at least two of the emails contained “Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information.” An ordinary person–or even a well-known leader like General David Petraeus–would be prosecuted for moving classified information onto a private system. And that is just the beginning of her legal problems. Clinton not only allegedly exchanged classified information via private e-mail, but also destroyed her emails before handing them over to the State Department before the government could determine for itself which were personal and which were job-related. That could constitute a felony, with a three-year prison sentence attached. And that is just the beginning of what is known. It is worth noting, too, that much of the information emerging on Hillary Clinton first emerged from three sources: the Benghazi select committee, which the left attempted to dismiss; the independent Judicial Watch organization, which submitted key Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests; and the thorough research of Peter Schweizer, who documented Clinton’s alleged conflicts of interests. This time, the Clinton magic may not be able to save her. 
Hillary Clinton is going to prison–or would be, if she were an ordinary prison. The FBI has reportedly taken possession of the emails on her home computer server, according to U.S. officials cited by the Associated Press.

The Hillary/CNN spin. http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/11/politics/hillary-clinton-email-server-justice-department/index.html By Elise Labott, CNN Updated 8:34 PM ET, Tue August 11, 2015 (CNN) Hillary Clinton has instructed her attorney to hand over her private email server and a thumb drive of all her work-related emails to the Justice Department in an effort to blunt an expanding probe into the use of a private email account. [...] Merril said in the meantime, Clinton's team "has worked with the State Department to ensure her emails are stored in a safe and secure manner." Something tells me that the FBI was not asking. I sure would like to know how Clinton's team has worked witi the State Department to ensure her mishandled SCI information is stored in a safe and secure manner. In the military, that stuff is pretty much limited to the brass and the spook community. The Navy facilities that handle it have Marine guards. Virtually none of the TS cleared people would have had authorization to possess, store, or read it. Uncleared lawyer David Kendall would not be authorized. Ordinary TS material is mild by comparison.
AoS was getting into the classification system. The inspector general for the Intelligence Community notified senior members of Congress that two of four classified emails discovered on the server Clinton maintained at her New York home contained material deemed to be in one of the highest security classifications -- more sensitive than previously known. UPDATE: AP: FBI "TAKES POSSESSION" OF HILLARY'S SERVER, LAWYER'S THUMB DRIVE: The media's silence on this will be spectacular. The official is not authorized to be quoted by name and requested anonymity. Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley says two of the emails, which traversed Clinton's insecure home email server, were deemed "Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information." That’s one of the government's highest classifications. That is indeed one of the highest level of classification. I think the only higher levels are levels of classification you're not even permitted to know the names of. This compartmentalized information is what is called Codeword Clearance, I think: You have to be cleared by a special codeword to see the information. That is, it's not just top secret; it's like top secret/GOLDEN TEMPLE, with "GOLDEN TEMPLE" being the codeword of the compartment of information. You don't just need a Top Secret clearance to see it -- you have to be cleared specifically for GOLDEN TEMPLE information. So this is either the highest level of classified information, or the highest we know about. (Daniel Moynihan spoke of there being a higher level he couldn't even mention in a 60 Minutes interview.) Update: KG, who sounds like he knows what he's talking about, writes: Hillary better be prosecuted for this. If she isn't, it is maddening and, personally, I think the whole system collapses. How could you prosecute someone else for a lesser offense after letting Hillary go. She is in deep doo-doo and must've believed herself untouchable due to her 'Clinton' name. This is jail-worthy stuff. Update: The articles confused me speaking of both "Hillary's server" and a "private email account." I wrote the emails were in Hillary's private emails. AllahPundit suggests otherwise: he says that the emails were on her servers, in private emails used by her aids and such, and thus, in a way, "her accounts," but not actually her accounts. Like one of her henchmen's accounts. I will go with Allah's more cautious reading for now. I have corrected the headline and article to reflect this nuance. More: TS = TOPSECRET SI = Special Intelligence (SIGINT) TK = TALENT KEYHOLE (from satellites) NF = NOFORN (US eyes only) pic.twitter.com/WpLM9Aua9I— John Schindler (@20committee) August 11, 2015 I believe, from Wikipedia, that SI/TK are sorts of SCI information, but I'm not sure. Confirmed: Schindler says yes, SI and TK are specific codewords in the SCI classification system. As you can see, SI = Special Intelligence and refers to signals intelligence (radio, telephone intercepts); TK = Target Keyhole and refers to satellite intelligence. "NOFORN" means "NO FOReign Nationals," i.e., US citizens only, no sharing with foreign counterparts. Whoops! Guess that last one's out the window! @AceofSpadesHQ pic.twitter.com/kSLT7eg1Rq— Sarah Stevenson (@sarahrstevenson) August 11, 2015 Nolu, you really should call the IG's office with some questions at the number listed. I'll bet you have some doozies. : )
There are only three classifications: Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret. A security clearance does not give access to anything. It only makes one eligible for a grant of access. The responsible official can grant access authorization to subordinates on a need-to-know basis. According the to book, nobody has any level of access based on their position (except maybe the President?). SCI is not a classification but a designator for Secret Compartmented Information. Indicators such as NOFORN (No Foreign Nationals) and LIMDIS (Limited Distribution) are caveats. Each limits access to the information. SCI is extremely limited outside of the intelligence community. On that last 11 August 2015 Memo: TOP SECRET/SI/TK/NOFORN Top Secret, Special Intelligence, Talent Keyhole, No Foreign Nationals This is way above the IG. I don't want to get anywhere near this shitstorm.
Compartmentalization policy doesn't just concern who can read something, it also applies to allowed venues for transmission of info, where a person can read it, whether any copy can be made or any notes taken, requirements to present credentials at an authorized location to read it, etc. So there are various protocols that can be attached to compartmentalized info. One way to implement SCI is how they allowed the congressmen to read the TPP materials a few months ago. I recall that Rand Paul said he didn't have to sign documents when he read it but a couple of his staffers that read them with him did have to sign off. That was reading in a SCIF room in the Capitol. They have other SCIF rooms for the Intel and Defense committees in House and Senate. But SCI goes well beyond just secured reading rooms at the Capitol. It has wide scope across the government in diplomacy, the military, intel agencies.

Yes, the magic words access authorization is very limited. The SCI designator may be accompanied by other caveats or code words which further limit access authorization and restrict handling and storage. After one look at the Guccifer hack, I was wondering how Hillary could possibly hope to maintain her story that she had not handled classified information on the home server, unless she were to say she never received what Blumenthal sent. That's difficult because she forwarded the stuff and a government investigation would certainly find evidence of that.

UPDATE: FBI SEIZES HILLARY'S THUMB DRIVES
Top Secret Emails Found In Private Accounts Run Through Hillary's Private Servers —Ace
As pressure builds on Hillary Clinton to explain her official use of personal email while serving as secretary of state, she faced new complications Tuesday. It was disclosed her top aides are being drawn into a burgeoning federal inquiry and that two emails on her private account have been classified as “Top Secret.”
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A U.S. official says the FBI has taken possession of Hillary Rodham Clinton's emails, a few of which have been deemed to contain classified information.
The official says the FBI recovered two thumb drives containing the emails from Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall. Compartmentalized means you have to be 'read in' to that particular information.. you sit in a SCIF [I believe this is a room where you can read the secret information, but are not permitted to take notes or remove it; this is the "skiff" you hear about Congressmen reading the TPP info in--ace] of some kind, someone who is cleared to handle the information hands it to you, you read through it and then sign some paper work. You then are 'cleared' to read material with that particular code word. So, in other words, just because you have a TOP SECRET clearance does not mean you have access to any and all TOP SECRET classified material. Most TOP SECRET material has one or several code words attached to it. That way, only the people with 'need-to-know' have access and it limits the vulnerability of the information.
That last tweeted image was this juicy bombshell.
Is this the Betrayal Of Hitlery that Vic has prayed for, to be shortly followed by Biden entering the race?

SCI is not a classification but a designator for Secret Compartmented Information.
