HILLARY IGNORED MANDATORY ANNUAL CLASSIFIED INFO SECURITY UPDATE BRIEFINGS: She sat for one – on her first day as Secretary of State – then ignored them for the rest of her tenure at Foggy Bottom, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group’s Richard Pollock. TheDCNF and Pollock had to take the State Department to federal court to force release of the documents involved.

A former very senior State Department executive with direct knowledge of State Department classified information security protocols was astonished, according to Pollock, saying  “If there is only one instance of her being briefed and nothing for the next four years, then I would consider that to be a lapse in security protocol, even at that level. Even the secretary needs to be reminded from time to time.”

Late Thursday, State Department spokesman  Mark Toner confirmed that all State Department employees are required to take cyber-security training. The lone certificate that Hillary had the briefing on her first day was the only evidence of her being informed about the growing threats to the security of classified secrets. Those threats evolve continually, which is why the mandatory updates are done every year. She missed them.
