[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, Bolton's manuscript was "leaked"? Guess what?
1. He isn't a government employees. His manuscript doesn't deserve any special protection. Unless it is classified.
2. Bolton isn't a government employee anymore and doesn't have access to classified computers. If his manuscript contains classified information then HE is a leaker for writing classified information outside of classified spaces/IT.

No matter how you slice it, this is fishy. And the smell is coming from Bolton.[/quote]

You don’t understand how this works.

Anyone who has held a clearance has to submit anything they write that’s related to their job to the government for pre-pub review. This is a lifelong obligation.

Don’t write about things you clearly don’t know about.

No. I do know how it works. I have done pre-pub review on my resume. It had to be written on a classified computer. Because if it isn't written on a classified computer and there is something classified in the document (and the point of the review is to determine this), then the writer just mishandled classified information and could go to jail. How would Bolton, who is no longer a government employee, have access to a classified computer?

That’s not how it works at my agency. I have an exceptionally high clearance, though, so policies might vary. [b]At my agency student interns even have to submit their papers for PRB review when they go back to school between summers working with us.[/b][/quote]

Yes. BEFORE they go back to school. Because once they go back to school, they don't have access to classified computers to write their resumes.

It sounds like maybe you have never done one. And I have. So...[/quote]
