The Navy’s intelligence chief, Vice Adm. Ted Branch, has not been allowed to see any classified information for over two years.
WAPO – Vice Adm. Ted “Twig” Branch has been barred from reading, seeing or hearing classified information since November 2013, when the Navy learned from the Justice Department that his name had surfaced in a giant corruption investigation involving a foreign defense contractor and scores of Navy personnel.
His subordinates are forced to clear their desk of any information before the Vice Admiral enters their offices.
The navy brass has been trying to move Branch to another position but have been unable to get a replacement approved by the Senate.
The awesomeness of bureaucracy on display.
So “Catch 22” was a manual, then.
I don’t know what to say. Maybe this article is true, but the media lies and I don’t trust their reporting anymore, nor the activities/motivations of our current govt. God only knows what’s really going on.
Butt Hillary gets everything, and her creature Huma passes it on to the Mooselimb Brotherhood, and foreign governments get it from her Commodore 64 email server…
She’ll be an awesome president!
I recognize that face and I don’t care what they say about him, he played a mean banjo in Deliverance.
Well, no wonder!

If Obama and Jarrett are allowed to see classified documents, why are documents classified?
This kind of crap sickens me. I served in the Air Force as an imagery interpreter specialist. I worked in the underground command post at Strategic Air Command at Offutt AFB. Since we had access to all satellite imagery produced by the Talent/Keyhole spy satellites, we had what was called Top Secret Code Word clearances. The very highest level of secrecy was referred to as Top Secret UMBRA material and that’s what we were cleared for. As a 22 year old, I knew very well what would happen if I had mishandled the material I worked with every day. We had access to SAC’s Bombing Encyclopedia which was the Holy Grail of SAC’s Top Secret information. If I had inadvertently carried any of the material outside the vault we worked in, I would have faced years in Leavenworth, Kansas. Each person in the vault where we worked had to be personally approved by the Commander-in-Chief of SAC, who was a four star general and that was only after a special background investigation had been completed by the FBI. We were guarded by the SAC Elite Guards, but even they weren’t allowed to enter the vault where we were. The vault we worked in is where Airman First Class Michael Davis discovered the nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962. We treated our work very, very seriously and were made aware of exactly how to treat the material we worked with and what would happen if we were careless with it.
How in the hell have we come to allow top military officers and government officials to handle these kinds of secrets so carelessly? I’d still be in prison if I had done what these idiots have dome!
done!
Sounds about right in an Obama, Biden and Hillary administration!
