Original Article

A high-ranking officer in the United States Air Force has reportedly admitted to federal investigators that he took extremely sensitive classified material and illegally stored it at his home in Florida. (snip) The Daily Beast reported that Federal law enforcement officials were tipped off in early 2017 that he had a flash drive at his home that contained classified material that, if released, “could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security of the United States.”

Comments:

Tipped off in 2017, just now brought to light. Here comes the Democrats' old reliable "everybody does it" defense.

Spot on poster. Expect many more of these stories trying to muddy the waters. Exception here though is most of these offenders had top secret clearances or higher in order to view this material, Not so the drug addled Hunter Biden who sold this info to his business partners. Which IMO equates to treason.They say traitors are motivated by money, sexual compromise or ideology. With Hunter they seems to have hit the trifecta.

The rank of Lt. Col. is not really considered "high ranking" in the big picture, although it's high enough to show the hypocrisy of how the Bidet regime and its MSM lackeys treat the issue of Joes' "Corvette Security."

Should be a court martial as a minimum. Drop him a rank and that will serious impact his retirement

You nailed it OP. How come no one is asking HOW everyone got top secret info OUT? Ted Cruz did an interview where he talks about the safeguards in place and he wonders how classified materials are able to be spirited away, with all of the guards and signing materials in and out? Trump is the.only one so far with authority to de-classify.

So, in 2017 the Feds knew that an Air Force officer had a flash drive full of top secret info AT HIS HOUSE, and instead of busting him then, they let him RETIRE a year later? This thing stinks like a whorehouse at low tide.

In accordance with the duel politicized system of justice that appears to currently prevail in the USA, chances are while anyone connected to the DC UniParty will skate; while any other person, who violates the same law, including this Lieutenant Colonel that the UniParty considers to be just another Smurf, will be sent down the tubes.

#3, why stop at one? Bust him to buck private before a court martial for 'illegally' taking and storing classified material at his home? Enough joking around, he will not suffer any consequences because lawbreaking is becoming the norm in this country. If you don't agree with a law just ignore it.

None of these people have the declassification authority that President Trump held. Everyone in theses articles, especially Biden are guilty of felonies, President Trump is not guilty by law. These are apples to oranges comparisons, betting on the general publics ignorance about classified information laws.

I don't know all of the details of this case nor trump, bidet, pence but I can speak from experience that too much stuff gets classified out of bring overly cautious, convenience, ignorance and personal (malfeasance) protection. If you aren't certain it should be secured then classify it. It is easy to classify something but difficult to declassify it. It reminds me of the final scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark. There is likely "classified" stuff in filing cabinets from the Wilson era. I found a record of my dad's WWII battalion. It was classified Secret but was declassified in ? 1989. It was HISTORY There was nothing current nor sensitive in it. Good thing the Krauts didn't know what they had been up against 44 years prior.

Everybody doesn't do it. There are people in prison for mishandling classified documents. Unless Biden, Pence, etal get the same treatment, the law is not equally applied in America. LC Birchum can be recalled and courts martialed, and should be. He knows better and flaunted the laws and policies of the US.

So, when are we going to hear from and about Mitch McConnel that he 'accidentally' took a couple of truckloads of classified material to China??? After all, he has to make regular 'visits' to his 'Charity' over there and possibly bring 'requested' material for the Commie chief XI???

Democrats are excellent at muddying the waters. Expect more of the same so democrats can say, see this isn’t so bad, lots of people are guilty. We just need to fix it and move on. Additionally, they will never possess the self-awareness to understand that the American people can see right through their little narrative. I don’t believe anyone has ever done what the Biden’s have done, at least, not in my memory.

A former top FBI official in New York has been arrested over his ties to a Russian oligarch, law enforcement sources told ABC News Monday. Charles McGonigal, who was the special agent in charge of counterintelligence in the FBI's New York Field Office, is under arrest over his ties to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire who has been sanctioned by the United States and criminally charged last year with violating those sanctions. McGonigal retired from the FBI in 2018. He was arrested Saturday afternoon after he arrived at JFK Airport following travel in Sri Lanka, the sources said.CORRECTIONS*

The current “media”—loosely defined as the old major newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post, the network news channels, MSNBC and CNN, PBS and NPR, the online news aggregators like Google, Apple, and Yahoo, and the social media giants like the old Twitter and Facebook—are corrupt. They have adopted in their news coverage a utilitarian view that noble progressive ends justify almost any unethical means to obtain them. The media is unapologetically fused with the Democratic Party, the bicoastal liberal elite, and the progressive agenda.

The largest lockdown uprising in China took place at facilities run by Apple’s Foxconn supplier where workers had previously jumped to their deaths. After thousands fled the Apple gulag, making their way through the woods and rural areas to freedom, other employees battled with Communist authorities over abusive conditions and treatment in the iGulag. Apple had nothing to say about the rights of those workers who thought differently enough to break free and fight back. If they were foolish enough to have iPhones, there’s little doubt the company would have eagerly helped authorities track them down to be imprisoned or killed.

Liberal media outlets like the New York Times and MSNBC claimed former President Donald Trump ordered audits of former FBI chiefs James Comey and Andrew McCabe for political payback. According to the Internal Revenue Service’s internal watchdog, that’s not true. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration determined that the IRS randomly selected Comey and McCabe for audits of their tax returns from 2017 and 2019 as part of a program the IRS uses to refine its technology, according to a report released Thursday. The watchdog found no evidence of malfeasance on the part of Trump or any Trump-appointed officials.
