Do you believe this?... Nearly 1,000 Clinton emails had classified info...

COL Charles Williams — Mon, 30 Nov 2015 23:31:26 -0500

Hillary said her emails were not classified... But, this report says nearly 1000 emails on her personal server were classified...

Most of us military leaders would be fired and disciplined for having just one classified email on an unclassified system...

I wonder what it will take to get the MSM to take notice?

It was more than that. They don't tally the unclass info that was still FOUO. Based on what I know in my job field, if someone did this same thing, they would lose their clearance for life and probably be court=martialed.

This is a violation of about six federal statutes, times 1,000 counts apiece. Sounds like HRC should draw a sentence of about 80,000 years in prison.
Won't matter, because of any if this sticks, the President will pardon her.

Sir: This is the key sentence in the story: “But the large number of emails containing now-classified material further underscores how much sensitive information was crossing her private server, a situation her critics have described as a security risk.” The key phrase is “now-classified material.”

It would serve everyone well---especially everyone in the DoD and USG---to take a few minutes to learn about the process through which information is classified. Anyone with any actual knowledge or experience with classifying information will not have any issue with the fact that some government agencies have determined that some of the information in Clinton’s emails is “now-classified material” (that she used her own server instead of a DoS server, well, that’s a different topic). It is unfortunate that so many folks lack knowledge or experience with classifying information, especially folks that have been in the military for a long period of time.

For example, let’s say that at some point you (or anyone on RallyPoint) becomes a public figure, and for whatever reason an investigation is initiated against you, during which all of your emails over your lifetime and all of your social media posts and everything you’ve ever written is examined. Any government agency involved in that investigation could look at any piece of anything you’ve ever produced and say, wait a minute, this is “now-classified material” even though at the time you produced it, it wasn’t classified material and thus wasn’t subject to the controls required for classified materials.

Those that believe Clinton actually violated any actual law due to the “now-classified material” determined to have been in her emails simply does not understand the classification process.

Unfortunately, though, facts and knowledge no longer matter (if they ever did) in U.S. political dialogue. As Bernie Sanders said in the first Democratic debate, everyone is sick of hearing about Clinton’s emails. And with McCarthy’s admission that the Benghazi Committee was designed as a partisan attack vehicle to hurt Clinton, it wouldn’t be surprising if this email scandal at the end of the day actually helped Clinton vs. hurt her. After all, the Republican base has seemingly dismissed the Republican Party as ineffective and irrelevant, as evidenced by the Trump/Carson phenomenon and the extremely low approval rating Republicans give Republican politicians.

In other news, Hillary breathed, ate, and used the bathroom today.

Normally I look at the source before I make a decision if the story has any merit to it. Normally if it is FOX News about Democrats I would dismiss it, just as I would anything on MSNBC about Republicans. (I have a thing about reporting facts and allowing me to decide if it is bad or good.)

Knowing Clinton's history as a liar and having less than spectacular morals I would say this would not surprise me in the least.

She's horrible.

I hope -something- comes along and wrecks her campaign definitively.

Not very surprising COL Charles Williams. Military security levels are based on severity of the threat if information is released. I wonder how many of the emails contained information that would have been disastrous for this nation or our allies if released.

Yes but nothing is going to happen to her. She will get the nomination. Obama doesn't even care.

Nothing that she does surprises me. She should be in jail - not running for President.

She does not care about anyone but herself worth. So rules mean nothing to her and Teflon bill.

They both belong in jail for criminal and acts of treason against the America people.

It is dangerous to be friends, people who worked for and associates of the Clinton machine. One just has to look at all those no longer among the living with suicides and questionable cause of deaths.

There has been a laser focus in the media on whether Mrs. Clinton sent/received/stored classified material on her private server, whether that data was actually compromised, and whether any of that represents a clear violation of law. What people seem to be forgetting is that the use of a private email server in the first place is a violation of law all by itself.

All government employees, from the POTUS on down are required by law to use Government owned and controlled information systems when conducting Government business. This is for a number of reasons, but mostly so that we don't get to decide on an individual basis which official Government communications we think the Government is entitled to see. Do we ALWAYS do it? No. A lot of business happens on private and contracted information systems in the name of convenience or expedience. That being said, those instances are the exception. Mrs. Clinton did it as a matter of routine.

Whether you believe she was doing it because she was trying to hide something from the public (criminal), or you believe her story that she just didn't want to have to carry multiple devices (lazy, stupid, and irresponsible), it's still patently illegal.
