Quote: The outgoing White House also became concerned about the Trump team’s handling of classified information. After learning that highly sensitive documents from a secure room at the transition’s Washington headquarters were being copied and removed from the facility...

But they were just xeroxing and taking classified info god knows where. Nothing wrong with that. Now if they had put it on the wrong server, then we'd have to start chanting "lock them up!"

And the time people were posting pictures on facebook of Trump and the Japanese PM discussing classified material re: North Korea? No biggie. The North Koreans don't even know about Facebook.

Or better yet -- email copies to a pedophile perv's email account on a home computer.

If such documents were transferred to a non-secure situation, by all means they should be prosecuted. Nice try at 'fail' strawman.

Of course, with the gyrations being made by the Justice Department *not* to prosecute a gross-negligence standard of culpability, I can't tell whether Atty General Lynch should take home which --- a) the Twister world championship; b) the Akeem Olajuwon Goal Tending trophy; or c) whether the NHL should retire the Best Goalkeeper award in perpetuity --- in honor of the Justice Department's outstanding efforts on the Clinton "matter".

I really like the jibe about the "Federal Bureau of Matters"...

Quote:At the meeting, everyone agreed that Mr. Comey should not reveal details about the Clinton investigation. But Ms. Lynch told him to be even more circumspect: Do not even call it an investigation, she said, according to three people who attended the meeting. Call it a “matter.”

Ms. Lynch reasoned that the word “investigation” would raise other questions: What charges were being investigated? Who was the target? But most important, she believed that the department should stick by its policy of not confirming investigations.

As the meeting broke up, George Z. Toscas, a national security prosecutor, ribbed Mr. Comey. “I guess you’re the Federal Bureau of Matters now,” Mr. Toscas said, according to two people who were there.
