Hillary Clinton Equates ‘Top Secret’ Email Controversy to Republicans Attacks Over Benghazi

**SNIP**

Clinton also asserted no emails with "classified marked information" were sent or received by her during her tenure as Secretary of State. When asked if she believed the release of her emails was political posturing by Republicans, as Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. have suggested, Clinton deferred to their comments.

"I'm going to leave that to others who are quite experienced in the ways of Washington to comment on," she said. "I just have to point out that the timing and some of the leaks that have led up to it are concerning."

Clinton again said she wanted all of her emails to be released so people to make their own judgments.

"I just want this matter resolved," Clinton said. "The best way to resolve is to do what I asked months ago -- release these, let the public see them, and let's move on."

Release top secret information to the public? Isn't that against the law? She may have real trouble understanding...

She’s being consistent, in acting as if Benghazi has blown over and was just a political play, and that therefore this must be the same non-issue. Takes a lot of nerve.

Hmmmm. Seems like her comprehension skills are sorely lacking. Which is an understatement. Also, how dare her try to make the republicrats the scape goat for the attacks on Benghazi. I don’t think there were any congress critters(R) in the area. Weird huh?

She is right to equate the two issues. They both indicate that she is callous, arrogant, incompetent and incapable of putting the public interest above her own.

Is there a conspiracy? Or is it just that people who don’t like you anyway may be looking at you without blinders on?

Could you imagine if a Republican had this Hillary scenario?
The MSM would be on 24/7 crisis mode.

Excellent analogy. They both disqualify her for any position of trust or elective office. In a more perfect world, they both would place her in prison.

Hillary and Bill have gotten away with their criminal activities for so long they think they are above the law. Hillary's arrogance would fill the Grand Canyon.

All that money in The Clinton Foundation was obtained illegally and should be confiscated. She should also be forced to reimburse the American People for all the trouble she’s caused.

She’s going to delay this as much as possible because she’s old and sick.

Hit her where it hurts.....tie up her money.

She’ll stop all her nonsense then.

How was she able to do her job without sending or receiving any classified emails? Why did she destroy thousands upon thousands after she was subpoenaed to produce them??? What a fraud.

At the highest levels of the Democratic Party Hillary’s fate has already been sealed. She’s damaged goods and even they know that. Another candidate is already to go and they will have all the Democrat Elites money and organization they need to get the nomination from Hillary and Bernie.

As in the past you have to understand the nuance. She’s saying that no emails with classified headers were on her private server. That is correct. The physical classification markings were eliminated when her aides recopied the messages into emails outside the secure networks.

What’s she’s ducking is that even without the markings of being classified, the subject matter was and probably is still very much classified. That’s why the FBI is expending the effort to contact the originators of the original emails to document the classification when they arrived in her official office.

It is what it is unless you’re dealing with the Clintons. In their corrupt minds meanings are always subject to a reinterpretation that benefits them.

Hillary will continue to blow off all her criminal activities and those of her alleged husband, because she knows Obama will never allow her to be indicted. Likely the Clintons already have issued an ultimatum to Barry that if he even considers doing so, all the homosexual, drug abuse, etc. oppo research will be dumped. FBI, DOJ, or IC officials resigning in protest will have zero effect.

Hillary wants the 22 emails released that are "too damaging" to our national security to release.

Think about that for a second. To hell with her, she's DONE.

Clinton’s “Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement,” or SF-312, makes it clear that “classified information is marked or unmarked classified information, including oral communications.”

http://freebeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/HRC-classified-NDA1.pdf

FIRST paragraph, second sentence.

No wiggle room.

“marked or unmarked”

.

If Hillary is right that the emails are benign let’s ask 0bammy what he thinks about releasing them. After all he is the receiver/sender in 18 of the 22.

We could use his WH website where he has promised to answer any question that gets X number of requests. I don’t recall the threshold, 25k or something like that?

I’m sure he wants to help Hillary so his answer should be enlightening.

Actually, I thought she was saying something even more weaselly: That she never sent or received mail that was marked classified, which in Clintonian parsing means “Classified” was never on the emails. Since “Classified” is not literally the way classified material is marked (Secret, Top Secret, Special Access Program), saying it while implying the specific quotes is not literally perjurious.
