Classification authorities were previously unaware of the emails, since Clinton was sending and receiving them on an off-the-books server. But given the chance to review the emails, they determined scores of them contained classified information at the time they were sent.
But many of the newly released emails are marked classified from the date Clinton sent them, as opposed to the date they were reviewed by classification authorities, a Federalist analysis of the email dump found.
What determines whether an email is classified under federal law is not how it’s marked, but whether it actually contains classified information. And in some cases, the State Department redacted entire emails written and sent by Clinton that were released in the dump, citing national security concerns.
An Associate Press article states that she didnt "think" about the server.
ReplyDeleteHere's the telling sentence:
ReplyDelete"What determines whether an email is classified under federal law is not how it’s marked, but whether it actually contains classified information."
Mrs. Clinton has decades of experience working with and being exposed to classified information, from First Lady of Arkansas, to First Lady of the United States (8 years), to U.S. Senator (8 years), to Secretary of State. There is NO EXCUSE for this behavior, and it's clearly illegal.
To be sure, classified information may come in large chunks or in dribs and dabs, but put together by those who are not our friends, it all amounts to information that is held close to our vests for a good reason. Mrs. Clinton obviously chose to be the sole gatekeeper of that information, but failed, probably by design, to protect it. The gate was open, and she knew that it was.

So when does she go to prison?
ReplyDelete@4:21 ha that is a good one. She will be allowed to run for President and when she loses she will still have her political career to fall back on.
