12. According to John Brennan (ex CIA chief) on Velshi, this goes way beyond "signing out."

No one seems to be getting the immensity the operation to steal these documents would have to be.

According to Brennan, those top secret documents are the kind where you have to go to a federal building, then go into a secure room within the federal building - the SCIF. You take nothing in with you. They check you to make sure you have no pens or paper or anything else on you that might allow you to take notes or copy the document. Then they bring you the documents. You read them inside the secure room. Then you hand them back, they check you again and they make sure you have given back all the docs they gave you.

This isn't a "sign out" issue. This is: which career document handler was absolutely corrupted? How many of his or her colleagues had to be corrupted too, in order to get those documents out of the building? What protocols at the absolutely highest level of our national security - the level that protects our nuclear information and protects all our espionage people from being murdered - were violated?

And btw: if he did what we think he did with those documents, lots of those espionage people are dead now.

Did Brennan say anything about what he thinks the DOJ knows at this point? Raven Aug 2022 #14
I don't remember that he did. Scrivener7 Aug 2022 #17
So, who signed them out last? FarPoint Aug 2022 #15
This exactly. That's the thing that makes no sense. Scrivener7 Aug 2022 #16
