Folsom Naval Reservist is Sentenced After Pleading Guilty to Unauthorized Removal and Retention of Classified Materials


SACRAMENTO, CA—Bryan H. Nishimura, 50, of Folsom, pleaded guilty today to unauthorized removal and retention of classified materials, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman immediately sentenced Nishimura to two years of probation, a $7,500 fine, and forfeiture of personal media containing classified materials. Nishimura was further ordered to surrender any currently held security clearance and to never again seek such a clearance.

According to court documents, Nishimura was a Naval reservist deployed in Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008. In his role as a Regional Engineer for the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Nishimura had access to classified briefings and digital records that could only be retained and viewed on authorized government computers. Nishimura, however, caused the materials to be downloaded and stored on his personal, unclassified electronic devices and storage media. He carried such classified materials on his unauthorized media when he traveled off-base in Afghanistan and, ultimately, carried those materials back to the United States at the end of his deployment. In the United States, Nishimura continued to maintain the information on unclassified systems in unauthorized locations, and copied the materials onto at least one additional unauthorized and unclassified system.

Nishimura’s actions came to light in early 2012, when he admitted to Naval personnel that he had handled classified materials inappropriately. Nishimura later admitted that, following his statement to Naval personnel, he destroyed a large quantity of classified materials he had maintained in his home. Despite that, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation searched Nishimura’s home in May 2012, agents recovered numerous classified materials in digital and hard copy forms. The investigation did not reveal evidence that Nishimura intended to distribute classified information to unauthorized personnel.

This case was the product of an investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Jean M. Hobler prosecuted the case.

Double standard IS the standard.

As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station!

The alliance... will die. As will your friends. Good, I can feel your anger. I am defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!

How can Hillary not know about the law, she is a lawyer by trade.

Gotta love the Hildebeest cheerleaders and apologists...

After closely examining a number of potentially sensitive emails with help from State Department and Intelligence Community officials, the State Department's inspector general concluded that 12 emails contain "national security information classified at the Secret or Confidential levels." Additionally, it was determined none of the emails contained intelligence information, meaning it was classified for other reasons.

The emails in question, as the inspector general has previously stated, came from Secretary Powell's personal email account and personal email accounts of Secretary Rice's immediate staff.

Twelve Emails. As in one dozen. By two separate Secretaries of State. Over a period of EIGHT YEARS. As opposed to THOUSANDS of Clinton's Emails that fall into the same category over a period of FOUR YEARS.

Yep, two totally comparable situations!

[stillers4me]

Hillary used NO OTHER EMAIL SERVER BUT HER OWN.

Common sense dictates that there was plenty of classified shit on it. As a matter of fact, it was all on that server. Because...ummm....IT'S THE ONLY ONE SHE USED.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that Texas' strict voter ID law violates the Voting Rights Act and ordered changes before the November election.

The ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals instructs a lower court to make changes that fix the "discriminatory effect" of the 2011 law, but to do so in a way that disrupts this year's election season as little as possible.

President Barack Obama's administration took the unusual step of deploying the weight of the U.S. Justice Department into the case when it challenged the law, which requires Texas residents to show one of seven forms of approved identification. The state and other supporters say the Texas law prevents fraud. Opponents say it discriminates by requiring forms of ID that are more difficult to obtain for low-income, African-American and Latino voters.

Federal appeals court orders changes to Texas voter ID law

Strict? WTF is so "strict" about requiring an ID to vote? More like common sense. And exactly how the hell does one function in this society without at least one form of valid ID? Further, exactly what "barriers" exist for someone to obtain a FREE state ID?

This is truly ironic, as I'm starting a new job with the federal government this coming Monday and not only do I have to show up with a valid driver's license, I also have to show up with a valid birth certificate with a raised seal (not just a copy) to complete the I-9 form (I don't have a passport). What's more, my onboarding documents very clearly state that I WILL be sent home to get one or the other if I don't show up with both of them. SMH.

"We are extremely pleased with this outcome. This law will no longer prevent eligible voters from casting a ballot this November," attorney Gerry Herbert, a member of the legal team that challenged the law, said following Wednesday's ruling.

Yeah, and there's really nothing preventing ineligible voters from casting a ballot either, is there?

Voter fraud has been a staple of the Democrat's since the 40's.

[steelreserve]

Thankfully since it's Texas, they probably won't be able to rig that contest in favor of Hillary.

But still ... being required to prove who you are in order to cast a vote is not exactly a draconian or racist process. Aside from the fact that it's both cheap and easy, if you can't even be bothered to have an official ID of any kind - then either you are so far from having your shit together that I have no idea how you function effectively on a daily basis, or else you are probably hiding something.

"To love this song is to take into your heart the message and to actually, actually have a feeling to arrive and move forward, and not live your life in fear and imposing that fear on other people," Jenkins said before playing the song.

Living in fear? That's rich. Yet practically in the same breath, the guy turns around and equates buying into the Chicken-Little-sky-is-falling-anthropogenic-global-warming/climate-change/whatever-they're-calling-it-this-week narrative to "believing in science."

Irony, anyone?

I heard when Cruz got up to the pulpit he did not give Trump the glowing endorsement he was hoping for.
