Comment: Grassley Probing Why Clinton, Top Aides Had Access to Classified Information After Leaving State
MARCH 31, 2017 BY LAURA LEE BARIS

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, launched an inquiry into why Hillary Clinton and her top aides were permitted to access classified information after she left the State Department. The powerful Senate chairman sent a letter dated March 30 to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson asking why Mrs. Clinton, who was deemed “extremely careless” by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and six staffers were given a “research assistants” designation.
“Any other government workers who engaged in such serious offenses would, at a minimum, have their clearances suspended pending an investigation. The failure to do so has given the public the impression that Secretary Clinton and her associates received special treatment,” Sen. Grassley said in the letter.
