he State Department says Sen. John Kerry used a private email account to send information now deemed classified to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her personal server.
Spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday that Kerry, then a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, used a "non-official account" to send a May 19, 2011, message to Clinton and then-national security adviser Tom Donilon. Portions of the message were classified as "secret" last week and censored when it was released along with about another 1,000 of Clinton's emails. Kirby said the account that Kerry used to send the email from his iPad while he was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is no longer active.
The message in question refers to developments between India, Pakistan and Afghanistan at the time.

We need to stop letting the narrative refer to the information as classified. The issue is HOW it was classified.
Just calling the info classified lets Clinton get away with saying she didn’t send any “classified” info.
Words matter with this cretin.
Kerry should know better as a former war hero Naval Officer. But then again he lived by his own rules.
And now we find that Kerry followed in Shrillarys footsteps, huh?
I’m completely shocked. Completely... Yawn...
Cuff ‘em and Stuff ‘em
Hillary! Kerry. Humidor. The whole nine yards.
I do not believe for a minute the spin that information was not classified when it was sent, but it is classified information today. In any case, someone needs to be prosecuted for tossing around classified information as if it was some social media chit chat exchange. These people are so dishonest it is obscene.
I have classmates at .mil addresses and .gov addresses.
They will accept emails from me at those addresses, but they never—ever respond to me from them. I send them innocuous, mundane stuff like going to ball games and what not.
Recently I asked them about that. They just told me it was OK to get them because it was clear they were invites from an old classmate...but they did not want their private conversations being part of the public records. They are told it is beaten into them every year that they are to be careful to avoid any improper appearances. They NEVER use their work accounts from home or from their personal smart phones. Some have govt phones. They apparently do not find it inconvenient to have two phones.
What is wrong with these people?
1. rules don’t apply to them.
2. could this be the beginning of Hiterly’s “if I go down, you go down” ?
I just took some classified training because once in a while I work at a facility that has classified material but I will never see any. Still required to train. One thing was surprising. If you create a condition where classified material is put in danger of illegal access, you can be fined $100,000 for each day you do it. Say you decide to leave it in your unlocked desk drawer at lunch every day for a week. $500,000 fine. How many days did she have that server? Taking her money will hurt her worse than prison will.
Every bit of that training made Hillary’s guilt apparent.
Pathetic leftists.
Yes, a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, and three Purple hearts in 3.5 months and never spent one day in a hospital or sick bay.
He has always been a fraud and a Communist.
And the race is on to diminish Hillary’s crime to “everybody does it”
