Agencies say info in Clinton emails was classified when sent
One of the emails contained classified intelligence from three different agencies, which could mean the State Department violated a President Obama-signed executive order by authorizing its release.
That 2009 order, EO 13526, lays out the rules for "classifying, safeguarding and declassifying national security information." It states that the authority to declassify rests with the intelligence agency that originated the information.
One of the two emails that sparked the FBI probe was an April 2011 email from Clinton confidant Huma Abedin that contained intelligence from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), which oversees aerial imagery, including satellites.
Despite this fact and despite the executive order, the State Department publicly released the email and its intelligence -- which was not theirs to declassify -- onto its website in May as part of the initial release of documents on the 2012 Benghazi attack.
Separately, Fox News has learned that a senior State Department official, Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy, who was deeply involved in the Benghazi controversy, is running interference on the classified email controversy on Capitol Hill.
Two sources confirmed that Kennedy went to Capitol Hill in early July and argued the 2011 Abedin email did not contain classified material.
An agency spokesman declined to comment.
Since the initial tranche of 296 Benghazi emails was released in May, a government official said all of the intelligence agencies have reviewers at the State Department to identify emails that may contain classified material that came from them, in order to avoid a repeat of the Abedin situation.

Whoops!
It’s only a “possible violation” because the person is Clinton. If it were anyone else they would be in prison by now doing 30 to life.
bump
The whole government is getting paid overtime to find ways to defend Hillary.
Hillary and her camp are tripping over wires surrounding them from all sides. Those are not noose yet, but it seems those wires are tightening.
Somebody has been playing a deep ‘game’.
Problem for Hillary is that she can only pretend “All is well” and continue her run.
Ruh Roh !
They are joined at the hip.
And HOW MANY others deeply involved?
I’ll bet that some of the things that are or were emailed would get “everyday people” (as the unwashed are referred to by Clinton) as “disappeared”, not thrown in prison.
“possible violation”= “Vester Flanagan & Elvis allegedly dead”
If Hillary didn’t SEND any classified material and didn’t RECEIVE any classified material, what the HELL did she do for 4 years??
My guess is large amounts of booze.
State Dept.-released Clinton email had classified intel from 3 agencies, in possible violation
Possible?
un-huh
The United States has become a laughing stock. The majority of our citizens simply do not give a shit, as long as a government handout is in is available for deposit.
the gibmedat generation has arrived!
How depressing!!
POSSIBLE VIOLATION??? Come on!! It’s a CRIME!
Possible my arse! Anyone who has ever held a clearance knows this is not “possibly” a violation - it is a clear violation!
How come none of the statements from State on the Clinton email matter come with the names of the people making the statements, determinations and decisions? Is it because that would make the connection to her loyalty cult too obvious?
They're getting warmer...
“Unnamed sources” have been the stock in trade of the NY TIMES and the Washington Post for decades.
Now the US government is using them.
Impossible NOT to be a violation. Is it me or what?
