Hillary is pretending to be the President of the United States, responsible for the entire Executive Branch of the Federal Government. With this issue, it doesn’t matter who stripped the classification markings, she is responsible for what happened. She made the decision to ignore law and regulation and create a secret and private email system. What ever happened on that system is her responsibility and she should be held accountable.

A second point is that Hillary is no dummy. No doubt she see the same email on her secret system stripped of markings that she saw on a government system, or in print. She had to know that she was looking at the same document, altered to deceive and cover up what they were doing.

Someone first had to access the classified information on the prescribed systems (SIPRNET, e.g.) and then had to transfer that information/document to the unclassified (NIPRNET and Hillary's home-brew server system), removing any classification markings as they did so.

The questions I have are were these "cut and paste" portions of other emails or documents or were these attachments to those documents? If the latter, what was the format of those documents? MS Word, pdf? It explains why Hillary turned over only printed emails rather than the electronic versions - 1) makes it harder to do a "dirty word search" to find classified terms and 2) any attachments to those emails would not be included.

At the end of the day, someone will be thrown under the bus - some loyal staffer who will go to jail for Hillary and The Cause. He/she will testify that he/she transferred classified info from one system to the other and removed classification markings - all without Hillary's knowledge or direction. Of course we all know Hillary directed her staff to do just that, but finding someone who will testify and be credible or will provide proof is the task for the FBI.
