The Times’s coverage last week of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s use of a personal email account as secretary of state involved several corrections and changes that may have left readers with a confused picture.
The Times reported online Thursday night (and in some print editions Friday) that the inspectors general for the State Department and the intelligence agencies had sent a referral to the Justice Department requesting a “criminal investigation” into whether Mrs. Clinton “mishandled sensitive government information” on the email account. That article was based on multiple high-level government sources.
Shortly after the article was published online, however, aides to Mrs. Clinton contacted one reporter to dispute the account. After consultation between editors and reporters, the first paragraph was edited to say the investigation was requested “into whether sensitive government information was mishandled,” rather than into whether Mrs. Clinton herself mishandled information. That type of substantive change should have been noted immediately for readers; instead, a correction was not appended to the article until hours later.
On Friday, another question arose — whether the investigation being sought was a “criminal” inquiry. As other news organizations followed up on The Times’s report, the Justice Department confirmed to them that a “criminal” investigation had been requested. Officials also gave that description again to Times reporters who were rechecking their initial story. But later in the day, the Justice Department and the inspectors general said that the request was not a “criminal referral” but rather a “security referral,” meant to alert the F.B.I. about a potential mishandling of classified information. It was not clear how the discrepancy arose.

The shadow war between Team Clinton and Team Obama breaks into the open.
Smell the fear.
The Clinton Crime Foundation has the NYT as their character witness.
A rose by any other name...
Still has thorns....
Editors Note:
Really, it all depends on what the meaning of “is” is. Is a classified document truly classified if it is not marked as such? Rest assured loyal readers, we will be bending over in pretzels to argue that it is NOT. We will continue to stand on watch for Mrs. Clinton until such time as she is toast and/or a better candidate emerges.
Not at all.
She's a Marxist and a criminal (possibly redundant) and the Times will support her no matter what.
Smell the fear.

Beginning to catch a few whiffs of the delightful smell of napalm in the morning.
Yeah, I often get confused when I listen to a bunch of BS artists lie in my face.
Clinton was using a private server. How hard was it for the Chinese and Russians to hack? They now know more about Hillary than Bill.
Given the choice I would rather have a serial fondler than a congenital communist.
We’ll know that Obama is about to reveal his candidate when the DOJ and/or FBI announce an investigation into the Clinton emails. When that happens look for the Obama stealth candidate to surface....Jokin’ Joe? Pochahontas?
It looks more like Jeb Bush is their man.
Translation: "We really meant to whitewash this for Hillary from the beginning. We goofed. We're sorry."
NO MORE BUSH’ES!
Did you report to your readers that a high government official (particularly the Secy of State) to utilize day to day a non government computer for communications in the performance of their job is in violation of security laws in dozens of ways?
Did you factor into your report that emails emanating from Hillary's private server contained classified ntl security data?
Did you bother to determine that the US govt tech system is really fussy----particularly about emails from the US State Dept?
Did you determine that a govt official (particularly the Secy of State) cannot simply buy a brand new computer with licenses and programs and expect to have it certified?
Did you report that US govt officials are required to have a government-purchased computer, set up by the govt, utilizing a CACC card cleared technician?
Last but not least---would you have been this accommodating if the subject of your story was a Republican?

Mrs Clintons BRAND has been damaged beyond any repair..by her own hand.
Thank you!
DNC activists spoke to a nearly empty auditorium at the College Democrats of America annual conference Friday in order to emphasize the importance of Millennial voters in the upcoming elections.
Despite speakers like Julian Castro (latino HUD secy-- connected to La Raza being touted as Hillary's running mate), and campaigning advice from top political operatives, the College Democrats of America were barely able to fill the first couple rows with young attendees.(SOURCE campusreform.com)
