Storage of TOP SECRET material
Domestically, the executive director of each bureau or major organizational element will designate in writing a bureau TSCO and an alternate to exercise control and maintain accountability records of material classified Top Secret in the custody of the bureau. The designated bureau TSCO will be a senior grade officer of the bureau who can control the dissemination and storage of the material.
Their duties:
a. a, Maintain strict accountability over Top Secret material while under their jurisdiction
b. b. Receive, store, issue, copy, and destroy all Top Secret material within their jurisdiction.
c. c. Maintain a permanent register to account for all Top Secret material either originated in or received in the area using form OF-116, Record of Top Secret Material. (See Form OF-116 and form DS-1902, Top Secret Access Control Sheet.)
d. d. Maintain records of outgoing or destroyed Top Secret material on Form DS-112, Classified Material Receipt, or Form DS-1902, Top Secret Access Control Sheet, as appropriate, for five years. (See12 FAM Exhibit 535.1- 3(B).)
e. e. Review and change classification on Top Secret documents as directed by regulation or markings.
f. f. Destroy or arrange for retirement of Top Secret material as required by regulation or document markings.
g. g. Complete annual inventories using Form OF-123, Top Secret Document Inventory Record no later than October 31 and submit the report to the cognizant RSO for posts and DS/SI/APD for domestic offices. The RSO will notify DS/SI /APD of any inventory discrepancies. In USAID, submit reports to the central TSCO with a copy to the Office of Security.
h. h. Assign appropriate Top Secret control numbers to Top Secret documents originating in or received within their area without a State control number. In USAID, the central TSCO assigns all control numbers.
i. i. Allow no copy of a Top Secret document to be made without the permission of the originating office/agency, unless specifically authorized in the document.

n. n. Ensure compliance with automation security policies governing the control and protection of Top Secret information resident on automated information systems.
I did not read in this directive that any Top Secret material was to be kept in an unsecure server in a bathroom. I don’t see that documents were allowed to be arbitrarily “wiped off a server either. All correspondence was to be archived in the National Archives.
Who was Hillary’s TSCO senior grade officer o f the bureau who can control the dissemination and storage of the material? I don’t think that was talked about.

This represents just one aspect of Hillary's problems. The mishandling of Top Secret material. There are just so many more problematic situations she put herself in.
Either she was not aware of the rules;
Or for some reason she did not want her emails scrutinized by others for whatever reasons;
Or she was incompetent.
And why did she attempt to erase emails and important documents that were supposed to be stored in the National Archives...
