Mother Jones covering for Hillary. This is not about a pissing contest between State and the CIA on whether certain documents should be classified or not. There were over 1,500 classified documents on her email server—that we know about. Remember, these are the documents Hillary allowed us to see. She deleted the rest.

The whole piece is worth reading for the details, but the bottom line is pretty simple: there's no there there. At most, there's a minuscule amount of slightly questionable reporting that was sent via email—a common practice since pretty much forever. Mostly, though, it seems to be a case of the CIA trying to bully State and win some kind of obscure pissing contest over whether they're sufficiently careful with the nation's secrets.

Pure crap from one of the most left publications around. Any reason why you used it as a source without any disclaimer?

Not too interesting if the emails are about john f’n kohn-heinz-kerry. A drone of sorts.

Yes, he’s the top original classification authority (OCA) who designates other OCAs and who can override their decisions to classify or declassify.

“I never received any emails marked classified...”

Notice how she always parses and nuances that — ‘marked classified’.

Per some news articles, her staff removed such markings.

Like with ole BJ, we have to decipher each and every word individually and in context.

“Can Obama declassify anything?”

IIRC, yes he can.

LET/S PLAY CONNECT THE DOTS.

EXHIBIT ONE---Hillary/s State Dept Aide Shared Classified Information With Clinton Foundation, Email Shows; Cheryl Mills sent information marked confidential to Clinton Foundation in 2012 / BY Alana Goodman September 28, 2015

A key aide of Hillary Clinton emailed classified information about the government in Congo to a staffer at the Clinton Foundation in 2012, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Cheryl Mills, Clinton/s chief of staff at the State Department, sent the email to the Clinton Foundation/s foreign policy director, Amitabh Desai, on July 12, 2012.

The message, which was originally obtained by the group Citizens United through a public records request, is partially redacted because it includes foreign government information that has been classified Confidential by the State Department......but was not marked classified by the State Department until this past summer, intelligence sources tell the Free Beacon that it would have been classified at the time Mills sent it because foreign government information is considered classified from inception.

The message could add to concerns from congressional and FBI investigators about whether former Secretary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while at the State Department.

About half of the forwarded message was redacted due to its classified nature before the State Department released it to Citizens United last month. Although it is not clear what the redacted section includes, the State Department said in a court motion filed last week that it concerns both foreign government information and critical aspects of U.S. foreign relations, including U.S. foreign activities carried out by officials of the U.S. Government.

The State Department added that the disclosure of this information has the potential to damage and inject friction into our bilateral relationship with African countries whose cooperation is important to U.S. national security.

The Clinton Foundation and the State Department did not respond to request for comment about the email, or say whether Desai—a non-government employee who has worked at the foundation since 2007—would have been authorized to view “Confidential” information.

========================================

EXHIBIT TWO Cheryl was also feathering her own nest----Mills currently runs the BlackIvy Group, a consulting firm that focuses on developing dirt-poor Sub-Saharan Africa.

SUB SAHARAN AFRICA / State Dept list
African Union Benin Botswana Burkina Faso Cameroon Congo (Brazzaville) Congo (DRC-Kinshasa) Ethiopia Ghana Guinea Ivory Coast Kenya Lesotho Madagascar Malawi Mauritius Mozambique Namibia Niger Nigeria Rwanda Senegal Sierra Leone South Africa Swaziland Tanzania Togo Uganda Zambia.

===================================================

EXHIBIT THREE--- Sub Sahara Muslim immigrants are streaming into the US at an unprecedented rate, all subsidized by struggling taxpayers. What do Obama, Cheryl Mills, and Hillary know about this?

============================================

EXHIBIT FOUR--- The State Dept email, which discussed the relationship between the governments in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, was originally drafted by Johnnie Carson, the State Department/s assistant secretary for African affairs, who sent it to Mills State Department email address.

Cheryl Mills later forwarded the full message to the foundation/s operative along with talking points for ex-President Clinton shortly before Bill Clinton was scheduled to visit the Congo region.

The head of a Canadian company with an enormous interest in the Congo's mining and oil sector, Lukas Lundin of Lundin Mining, announced a $100 million donation to the Clinton Foundation on the heels of Hillary/'s first presidential campaign.

After the Congolese government attempted to regain control of its own mines, the State Department intervened on behalf of Lundin Mining and another mining company, Freeport Mines, also a Clinton foundation donor.

A round of talks in 2010, thought to be aided by the Clinton State Department, concluded with the pair of well-connected companies retaining their stakes in the mines and with the Congolese government being shut out of its own resources. (hat tip Schweizer book---Clinton Cash)

MORAL OF THE STORY When Hillary smells money, she will flout the law to suck-up to Clnton Foundation donors....particularly w/ financial stakes in the lucrative oil/mineral mining industry.

Other sources have already revealed that there was more than drones, that was Top Secret and compartmented Special Access Programs.

- Operational covert human sources, which put the lives of those assets at risk.

- Foreign intelligence (at least from France).

- Nuclear weapons strategic information, on movements of North Korean weapons.

- Talent Keyhole spy satellite information, including imagery, which would reveal technical capability.

- National Command Authority deliberations were most likely also spilled.

Any one of those should send people to jail.

The fact that they took deliberate steps to set up an alternative system outside of the protected system, demonstrates pre-meditated intent and collusion/conspiracy.

Don’t think so at the SAP level.

Of course, these clowns still think cell phones have little strings between them.

Hey Mother Jones, talk about things you understand...like....er......uh.....

Well of course, any thing to do with national security from the NYSlimes by way of Mom J is absolutely truthful and 100% reliable - they wouldn’t have some left wing agenda - no, never ... I fervently believe everything they say is the G-d’s honest truth and I subscribe to both ... some one must or these puff pieces would never be read.

Feel the Bern! ... Well, you feel him, not my thing ...
