Well 50 years of coups around the world, and its come home to roost.

Remember when US election surprises where just who about who got caught fucking the secretary, and it wasn't about collapsing the country, and triggering a civil war.

That the first time In literally several decades of dealing with classified materials I have seen "Secret//SCI"

I guess In theory there could be compartmentlized secret information.
I've never heard of Secret/SCI, probably should have been Secret/SAP

A subset of Top Secret documents known as SCI, or sensitive compartmented information, is reserved for certain information derived from intelligence sources. Access to an SCI document can be even further restricted to a smaller group of people with specific security clearances.


This.

I have seen Unclass/ and Secret/SAP before.  Never labelled as SCI.  SCI is the name for that category of information handling.  But when you're in that category of information, that information is classified for that program.  SCI is used to DEFINE that category of information; it isn't the classification of the information itself.  The codeword for that SAP is used to classify that information, because outside of that program, that categorization isn't really relevant.

Example:  Unclass/S/TS/SIOP is a correct classification, SIOP being the (old) code word identifying the program relating to nuclear weapons targeting and employment.


Interesting theory here:

The first reaction to this information about Trump’s office would be that he was determined to keep NSC staffers from leaking the material, as so often happened, in a manner designed to sabotage Trump’s policies.   (A report from Politico tending to corroborate that point emerged shortly thereafter.)

I recall thinking at the time that it sounded as if the Trump front office had created a SAP to protect information from chronic leakers inside the NSC.

And in hindsight, that doesn’t seem off the wall.  POTUS can create as many SAPs as he wants, whenever he wants.  It’s up to him.  There’s nothing that could limit his use of that classification option to protect information.  The only opinions on it can be political ones about his motives; there’s no basis in law or regulation to impugn him for using SAPs.

The documents were never missing given they were registered.  What we see is a copy and the originals are on some electronic storage.

The Secret/SCI coversheets were made up by the FBI, a brand spanking new classification level.  Does the FBI have the authority to create this new classification?

It's really a case by case basis.


We have some local guys who are absolutely great.  We also have a former chief of police in prison for stealing money from evidence. (Over 70k).

And a former K9 officer who both took evidence money and wasn't keeping his dog training up to requirements.


Some guys who still on the force have a bit of a reputation for.... Various things.


Cops are human too.  Good people and shitbags among them just like every other profession.


The FBI and DOJ appear to be irredeemable.

Is it possible the coversheets are unusual because they assigned someone unfamiliar with such clearances to create this newly manufactured 'scandal'?

Evidentiary photos are 1. photographed in place (how it was found) and then 2. detailed
These appear to be neither.  The haphazard arrangement seems like a very unlikely condition for them to have been found in.

It would be interesting to hear someone answer the question "Why was this photo taken?".  It's useless evidence-wise; the only possible explanation for it is that it's intended to manipulate public opinion.

Probably taken by the same person who carefully arranged the paper scraps in the toilet.

Secret//SCI would be low level intelligence products. You still have to have the SCI access approvals for the program, but the particular bit of information contained isn't TS. Rather than producing cover sheets with alphabet soup of every possible letter combination, there's just SCI ones.

See here on page 12 for S//SI//TK being valid, they would use a Secret//SCI cover sheet.

That is a presentation but together by Marine Forces Reserve and is being used for training purposes and does not  represent actual policy.  Current policy is anything filling under the standard published caveats of SCI are TS level and require TS eligibility and a read in to view.

The staged photo is more of the same lawfare/obstruction crap they have been doing for many years.  The classification markings mean nothing, so the regime is left with claims of "obstruction."  I don't believe the elections have a bearing on the timing, but the RICO suit is what drove the regime.  They know if President Trump's side presents evidence in that trial, those named in the suit are toast.

The docs doesn't mean anything, because President Trump and his team either has other copies or knows where to get the docs even if they were lost during the raid.  The raid was used to:
a) gather intel for the those named in the RICO suit
b) trigger another investigation with whatever they find

It took a while for them to come up with what they have now, since they were probably hoping to find something that was a gimme.  Since they only found evidence of the regime's wrong-doing, "obstruction" is what they have to go with.

Pick any modern President and then realize they did exactly what Trump has done, declassify documents at will.  The President has this sole authority

Given what you have written about Trump, I'll assume you voted for Obama.  Obama is currently in possession of 39 million pages of documents, many of which have been declassified.  
Obama did exactly what Trump has done, declassify documents

Everyone with a clearance should have the same level respect for classified information.  Someone in the military doesn't have more respect for classified information, than those not in the military.

Well since another headline is a story about the military arresting Brian Stelter for sexual assault on a child, I'm going with no.

Now do CNN  

Yah, I didn't browse the rest of the site, appears to be horseshit.  Just like all the "reputable" news sites these days.

How hard would it have been for Trump to dummy up a bunch of authentic-looking classified and TS documents and salt them around?

Why would he do such a thing? That’s some “Qanon” level stuff. There is no logic in trolling the FBI.

Back to the classified document picture.

I held a TS clearance for years and never heard of Secret/SCI, so I called up a buddy that was in the White House Communications Agency while he was on active duty and worked there under Carter and Reagan. He held MOS 72G, automatic data telecommunications center operator, AKA ComCenter Operator. ComCenters are where all official messages were sent/received and distributed. This was before SIPRNET on the desktop was a thing.  He said he has never seen or heard of Secret/SCI. Could it be real?  I guess anything is possible, but I'm going with Occam's Razor on this one.

Hate to break this to you.  But being in the military, or being a cop, or being an FBI agent, doesn't guarantee anything with regard to character.


Many of our institutions are corrupted.  Hailing from a partially or wholly corrupted institution does not provide legitimacy or integrity.

That the first time In literally several decades of dealing with classified materials I have seen "Secret//SCI"

I guess In theory there could be compartmentlized secret information.
I've never heard of Secret/SCI, probably should have been Secret/SAP

A subset of Top Secret documents known as SCI, or sensitive compartmented information, is reserved for certain information derived from intelligence sources. Access to an SCI document can be even further restricted to a smaller group of people with specific security clearances.


This.

I have seen Unclass/ and Secret/SAP before.  Never labelled as SCI.  SCI is the name for that category of information handling.  But when you're in that category of information, that information is classified for that program.  SCI is used to DEFINE that category of information; it isn't the classification of the information itself.  The codeword for that SAP is used to classify that information, because outside of that program, that categorization isn't really relevant.

Example:  Unclass/S/TS/SIOP is a correct classification, SIOP being the (old) code word identifying the program relating to nuclear weapons targeting and employment.


Interesting theory here:

The first reaction to this information about Trump’s office would be that he was determined to keep NSC staffers from leaking the material, as so often happened, in a manner designed to sabotage Trump’s policies.   (A report from Politico tending to corroborate that point emerged shortly thereafter.)

I recall thinking at the time that it sounded as if the Trump front office had created a SAP to protect information from chronic leakers inside the NSC.

And in hindsight, that doesn’t seem off the wall.  POTUS can create as many SAPs as he wants, whenever he wants.  It’s up to him.  There’s nothing that could limit his use of that classification option to protect information.  The only opinions on it can be political ones about his motives; there’s no basis in law or regulation to impugn him for using SAPs.


Secret//SCI would be low level intelligence products. You still have to have the SCI access approvals for the program, but the particular bit of information contained isn't TS. Rather than producing cover sheets with alphabet soup of every possible letter combination, there's just SCI ones.

See here on page 12 for S//SI//TK being valid, they would use a Secret//SCI cover sheet.

For lack of public source info, I cede the field.

Again, still not clear the actual classification status of those docs.  (He, and perhaps his staff, not coming from the world many of us are or were in with a heightened awareness of classified material control, may have have fallen into a casual swamp attitude, familiarity breeds contempt, "Everybody does it" - "Look  what we found, those records were on this table the whole time!" etc., which is no more acceptable for him/them than for Hillary, etc.)

What sort of fishing expedition "warrant" and mindset suggests that a box full of framed Time Magazine covers is evidence of anything and should be collected?
