with a clear chain of custody among specially designated security personnel. Under those restrictive conditions they are only supposed to go from one SCIF to another.
We're talking about nuclear secrets, by some reports. Spy identities by other reports.
EXACTLY! YES! All these things make me think those tasked with document security knew the minute those docs were stolen. Who stole them. And tracked them. The minute they disappeared.
Government Services Administration, GSA, is responsible for the security, and custodians of, US Government secret Documents.
Let me try it this way...
We do not know when these documents were known to be missing. THAT INFORMATION IS NOT YET IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE. The GSA would be the first agency to know, who then goes to the DOJ/FBI and tells them what is missing. The DOJ/FBI investigates this problem. They haven't released any details yet concerning when documents were known to be missing. It could be the minute they were stolen.
All we know is that the NARA didn't know about missing documents. That's all that is in the public sphere, as of now. And it's not all that important!
Get it?
