Didn't notice that... can you just confirm how you added it up? My brains aching today and can't seem to get to 23.
The origin of Big Ben’s name is probably rooted in Sir Benjamin Hall. Hall was reportedly a large man (6 ft. 4 in. or 1.93 m, with a girth to match) and was the first Commissioner of Works, affectionately known as “Big Ben.”
all emphases mine
Throughout Secretary Clinton’s tenure, the FAM stated that normal day-to-day operations should be conducted on an authorized AIS,147 yet OIG found no evidence that the Secretary requested or obtained guidance or approval to conduct official business via a personal email account on her private server. According to the current CIO and Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security, Secretary Clinton had an obligation to discuss using her personal email account to conduct official business with their offices, who in turn would have attempted to provide her with approved and secured means that met her business needs. However, according to these officials, DS and IRM did not—and would not—approve her exclusive reliance on a personal email account to conduct Department business, because of the restrictions in the FAM and the security risks in doing so.
None of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail.

Lol, of course it's, "according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation."

I was always curious why Hillary( and anyone else involved in the process) wasn't charged with violating this statute:
(a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.
18 U.S. Code § 1924 - Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material
Instead of the one most people were quoting:
(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
18 U.S. Code § 793 - Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information
I mean, she had classified information stored in an unapproved location.
Period.
The statute in question clearly states, "knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location." She knew her server wasn't authorized and she also knew that some of the information she was in possession of was clearly classified, at the SAP level no less.
In anticipation of the argument that the statute I quoted requires intent. Yes, it sure does.
Is the argument going to be that she accidentally kept the information on her server or that she didn't know it was classified? Either scenario is ridiculous in the extreme.

BREAKING: President Trump says that he's HOLDING OFF on declaring a National Emergency at the moment.
www.mercurynews.com...
Maybe he senses the mood of the country turning against Pelosi and Schumer.
Word is getting around how Schumer and Pelosi have been 100% for border barriers...for years. Right up until President Trump wanted to build upon the barriers Schumer and Pelosi put there, between 2007 and 2013.

Yes, I seen that. New Gov wasted no time! One of the Parkland victims was a distant cousin.
That sheriff needs to be dragged out to the Okefenokee swamp with the gators.
Any idea what the Morse code said or how it was attributed as a message to Branson?

I cam across a couple when I was searching. Alan Parsons Project — "Lucifer" was one of them.
I'm thinking that there are probably a lot more out there, but no one is looking.

I'll give it in Morse since it has 'big people' words in it.
