Hillary Clinton's campaign offices around the country have been put on alert after at least two women approached Iowa staff under the guise of being supporters in an apparent effort to catch the campaign engaging in improper or illegal activity, a Clinton campaign official said.

The motivations of the women is not known, but their alleged techniques match those of Project Veritas, the conservative group run by James O'Keefe, which specializes in undercover stings meant to embarrass liberal groups and politicians. The group declined to comment on the Clinton campaign's allegations. "Project Veritas does not comment on investigations, real or imagined," said Daniel Pollack, the director of communications for the group.

No mention for the listeners of Mukasey's background, either as a former federal district judge (appointed by Reagan), or his appointment by President George W. Bush as AG to replace the bumbling Alberto Gonzales.

In the NPR interview, Mukasey states that he does not believe Mrs. Clinton on any thing she has said on this matter, and in any event, it is irrelevant since he just believes that there were violations, either of improper storage of classified material (a misdemeanor) or, maybe, just maybe, a felony, if documents were destroyed.  

Mukasey, we all remember, is the guy that earned the rathe of Senators, such as  Sanders and Leahy, in confirmation hearings, and later did state that water-boarding was not illegal.  And, was an advocate of torture.

 And, of course, in the case of the transgressions of his predecessor Gonzales, his position was, as he told the ABA, "not every wrong, or even violation of law is a crime."  

When I got to work as secretary of state, I opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the State Department, because I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two.

Looking back, it would've been better if I'd simply used a second email account and carried a second phone, but at the time, this didn't seem like an issue.

Former State Department security officials don't buy Hillary Clinton's latest alibi that she couldn't tell that government e-mails -- which she improperly, if not illegally, kept for several years on an unsecured home server -- contained top-secret information because they lacked official markings and weren't classified until later.

Such messages contain sensitive "keywords" distinguishing them from unclassified information, even if the material didn't bear a classified heading as she claims.

The secretary would have known better, the department ­officials say, because she was trained to understand the difference when she was "read in" on procedures to ID and handle classified information by diplomatic-security officials in 2009....

He added: "It's hard to imagine that in her position she would fail to recognize the obvious."

Mrozinski was the certified security manager for the peacekeeping, sanctions and counterterrorism office in the Bureau of International Organization Affairs, where he had TS/SCI clearance and spent roughly 15 to 30 minutes a day in SCIFs.

"This is a serious breach of national security," Mrozinski said, and "a clear violation of the law."...

"Anybody else would have already lost their security clearance and be subjected to an espionage investigation," Mrozinski added. "But apparently a different standard exists for Mrs. Clinton."
