U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that she did not use a private email account to send or receive classified information while she was secretary of state, in response to a government inspector's letter this week.
"I did not send nor receive anything that was classified at the time," Clinton said at a campaign stop in Iowa.
The email controversy has dogged Clinton's bid for the presidency, fuelling worries that the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination has tried to sidestep transparency and record-keeping laws.
At least four emails from the private email account that Clinton used while secretary of state contained classified information, Inspector General Charles McCullough, who oversees U.S. intelligence agencies, told members of Congress in a letter on Thursday.
Clinton said on Saturday she had "no idea" what were the emails mentioned in the letter.
McCullough's letter said a sampling of 40 of about 30,000 emails sent or received by Clinton found at least four that contained information the government had classified as secret.
The information was classified at the time that the emails were sent, McCullough said.
The use of her private email account, linked to a server in her New York home for work, has drawn fire from political opponents since coming to light in March.
Republicans have accused Clinton of trying to avoid disclosure laws through her use of private systems.
The frontrunner to represent the Democratic Party in the November 2016 election, Clinton has repeatedly said she broke no laws or rules by eschewing a standard government email account.
While Clinton faces little competition for the Democratic Party's nomination, several recent polls have found a majority of voters find her untrustworthy, a perception potentially exacerbated by controversy over her emails.

Sounds like she didn't pay attention in her derivative classification class.

GySgt Wayne A. Ekblad - Gunny; To be elected the President of the United States of America you need to win 50%+1 of the votes in 13 states. Theoretically that means that is possible (incredibly unlikely, but possible) to get elected President of the United States of America if only thirteen people vote for you.
More realistically, it takes around 50.761% [ten election average] of the votes of the 53.22% [ten election average] of the eligible voters who turn out. That means that you only need the support of around 27.02% of the electorate to be elected the President of the United States of America.

Yes and no. What a contradiction! Yes, I believe her. No, I don't. Well, I believe that she had only one device for all communications. That's what she told us. For convenience. Now that we've learned that she used her own insecure email server we must accept that she used it for all communications included those containing classified material. Thus, if I believe her, by her own admission she mishandled classified material. Now, if I believe her, she didn't mishandle classified material. So, I don't believe her. Confused? Yeah, me too...

I'm sure that there were a great many 'For Official Use Only' emails - classified higher than that I kind of doubt, but not terribly sure about that

C'mon, really? I think a high-level cabinet position (particularly the Secretary of State) would routinely deal with quite a bit of classified material.

Nope i don't believe her. I had to deal with the Clintons in Arkansas and there were a lot of shady things hanging over their heads then. And now it seems like it is just getting worse. I have no trust for them what so ever. Especially after Benghazi and now this email scandal. With her you seem to never know what exactly is hanging in her closet

For all of us that were part of 'THE Bureaucracy' everything in the gov't is classified "unclassified" is a classification, which seems like one of those rules made by the boss so he can convict you of Something, if anything goes wrong to get himself off of the hook. That said if she had 'Secret' and above on her personal server, she was stupid, and deserves whatever the punishment is. But a long time ago I stopped trusting any politician from the South, they all seem to decide that they are above the law, just listen to Jimmy Carter's story about his 1st run for School Board where the Sheriff's wife read every single ballot, and if you didn't vote the way the Sheriff wanted you didn't get any welfare checks or anything else that came from the county.

Don't believe ANYTHING that comes out of her mouth. Or her Husband's. They have WAY to much of a History of lying, cheating and steeling. The fact that they keep getting away with it boggles the brain.

Clinton jokes about email scandal
Hillary Clinton mocked interest in her use of a private email server, but a joke about Snapchat could invite more Republican ridicule and add greater focus to a controversy that is already dogging her campaign.

Clinton’s team went from nonchalant to nervous over e-mail controversy ...
Late last month, Hillary Rodham Clinton stood before a line of television cameras at a rural Iowa campaign stop to deny reports that she had sent sensitive information over her private e-mail system.
“I’m confident that I never sent or received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received,” Clinton said, dismissing claims to the contrary by federal intelligence officials as a bureaucratic dispute over what qualifies as classified.
The view from inside Clinton’s presidential campaign team was much the same: Clinton had done what she needed to do, there was nothing of real concern regarding the e-mails and, mostly, the whole matter was an annoyance in her efforts to win the White House.
The next week, however, law enforcement officials became interested, and the campaign’s apparent lack of concern began to turn into a sense of anxiety.
“They’re worried about it,” said a longtime Clinton adviser and confidant who agreed to discuss the mood of the campaign team only on the condition of anonymity. “They don’t know where it goes. That’s the problem.”

Clinton’s team went from nonchalant to nervous over e-mail controversy
What had begun months ago as a question about proper archiving of records has become a bigger, more politically dangerous issue: Whether sensitive data was at risk of falling into the wrong hands.

Sgt Tom Cunnally
Mrs Clinton & her campaign at first claimed she never sent or received emails that were classified, then the comments were she never sent of received emails that were marked as classified. Her campaign also blames the process because the State Dept didn't classify her emails but the Inspector General says they should have been classified. The FBI says they are investigating this matter and will in due process refer their findings to the Dept of Justice for their recommendations.. Mrs Clinton said today the voters are not worried about this email controversy and the Repubs are the ones making it out to be a serious breach of security. So all I can say is "Stay Tuned"...this is just one more thing to not like about the Clintons.... And do we want her with Bill looming in the background as our next President and Commander in Chief when she cannot decide if a message should or should not be classified based on it's contents?? If not classified then at least not for storage in a Server that can be hacked.

Sgt Tom Cunnally - Sergeant; If the material was not MARKED as 'classified' when she received them then she receive 'unclassified' material.
The fact that the material SHOULD have been marked as 'classified' is totally irrelevant save as to the mental element required to commit a criminal offence and without actual knowledge that the material WAS CLASSIFIED but simply wasn't marked as 'classified' then there the requisite mental intent to "publish" 'classified' materials was not there.
On the other hand, you start with "Dumb", the proceed to "Gross Dumb", and on to "Dangerous Gross Dumb" and then you arrive at "Contagious Dangerous Gross Dumb". If a Secretary of State can't figure out when something just might possibly be supposed to have been 'classified' and doesn't at least ask someone about it they have probably reached the "Classical Example of Contagious Dangerous Gross Dumb" level.
