Malley, an Iranian envoy who lost security clearance, may have been on a classified call organized by the White House.

On Wednesday, the State Department's Office of the Inspector General made a significant finding. They determined that the department's officials had strayed from the usual protocol when they disciplined one of their own, Malley. This disciplinary action was due to allegations of mishandling classified information. What's more, Malley was still granted access to sensitive information for several weeks after the suspension. And to top it off, the officials failed to report the incident to the OIG, as they were supposed to.

This news has caused quite a stir, and understandably so. It's concerning to think that someone who has been accused of mishandling classified information was allowed to continue accessing sensitive materials for such a prolonged period. And the fact that this suspension was not reported to the OIG raises even more red flags. It's a deviation from the usual process, and it's crucial for all incidents to be properly documented and reported.

The State Department has a responsibility to handle classified information with the utmost care and security. Any violation of this responsibility should be taken seriously and addressed promptly. It's concerning to learn that the department's officials did not follow the standard procedures in this case. This raises questions about their reliability and adherence to protocol.

It's important for the State Department to maintain transparency and accountability in all matters, especially when it comes to sensitive information. Deviations from proper protocol can lead to serious consequences, and it's crucial for the department's officials to uphold the highest standards of integrity. The OIG's findings serve as a reminder of the importance of following established procedures and keeping the public's trust.
