CPT Gurinder (Gene) Rana the issue isn't about de-classification of the documents... that is a diversion tactic used by the Right. He should never have removed them at all... they should have gone to the Archives.

Absolutely correct Charlie...Declassification is a process prior to which classified documents must not be removed. Agreed.

CPT Gurinder (Gene) Rana - it's my understanding NO documents can be removed... they ALL go to the archives...period. If he wants them to write a book... put in a Presidential Library... etc., he has to request them from the Archives & there is a proper procedure for that.

We hopefully will get more revealing information as the DOJ collects information and conducts interviews.

Specialized Requirements of a SCIF

As a U.S. accredited facility that stores Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI), it makes sense that a SCIF must adhere to rigorous requirements! These requirements are extremely strict when moving through the SCIF accreditation process, and they include the following specifications.

* Ductwork – If there are openings in the ductwork that exceed 96 square inches, they have to be equipped with steel man bars that are a half inch thick and extend six inches away from the center in each direction. These bars have to be welded together where they intersect, and there must be inspection ports inside of the SCIF. All of the above (the ductwork, openings, and duct breaks) must have special sections inserted for securing audio and electric emissions from escaping the SCIF area.

* Electronic & Communication Systems – Any telephone, emergency system, electrical power, data, or emergency system has to be both dedicated to and contained within the SCIF itself to meet these requirements. If a utility enters the SCIF in any way, it should also terminate within the SCIF! This is to minimize the chance of compromising any information meant to be contained within the facility.

* Access Control – Entry and exit doors have to use two access control technologies (one for daily use, and one for locking up when the facility is left unattended) to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the SCIF at any given time.

* Intrusion Detection – The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) must be installed by a UL 2050 Certified installer, using approved components, to prevent unauthorized entry into the SCIF

CPL LaForest Gray, I am aware of the specifics of both SCI and SCIF as a former Military Intelligence Officer Corporal.

The question ain't about SCIFs, but about SCI documents removed from the White House and stored in a private residence away from any SCIF in Florida, in unsecure boxes.

CPL LaForest Gray, can the POTUS remove TS-SCI and Secret documents from the White House and store them in unsecure cartons in his private residence away from any SCIF? I believe the authority doesn't permit such removal of classified documents at all, especially documents with national security information and with names of national HUMINT operators.

Good morning CPT Gurinder (Gene) Rana

I saw your background. I was posting for information purposes and a FACT trail of what would be necessary for ANYONE to have access to highly classified documentation and what type of location would need to be established for reviewing of highly classified documentation.

Some on Rally Point are unaware of such requirements.

Thank you for your original posting.
