Byron cites today’s memo by Greg Craig that slams Hillary Clinton’s claims of foreign policy experience. One sentence jumped out at me as being an unqualified, and verifiable, statement of fact:

She did not have a security clearance.

If true, this sure sounds like something that is damaging to the point of being shocking. Is there some spousal exemption to security laws for the First Lady? Doesn’t this mean that she could have no legal access to any classified documents, could not attend planning and contingency discussions, could not attend non-public military briefings, and so forth?

Maybe somebody who knows more about the law in this area can fill me in.
