Emails on Hillary Clintons private server marked top secret ended up in the inboxes of three total Clinton aides, the State Department revealed.
The 22 emails over seven email chains included Clinton aides Jacob Sullivan, Cheryl Mills, and William Burns, according to documents released by the State Department to Vice News Friday.
Twenty of the emails were restricted to Clinton and Sullivan, with some originating from other unnamed State Department officials.
Two were email chains among State officials forwarded by Sullivan one to Clinton and Mills, and another to Clinton, Mills and Burns.
The existence of the top-secret email chains became publicly known in January, although their recipients have remained under wraps until now.
In his report on the investigation into Clintons private email server, FBI Director James Comey said that the emails were not put under stricter classification after the fact.
"Seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received," Comey said.
"These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters.
The State documents itemize each email and show who was included on the chains but do not reveal the subject of the messages.
The documents were released in a so-called Vaughn Index, a response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that withholds some information.
Vice News said that a Vaughn Index would typically include additional insight into the content of the emails.

Aren't they all?
CORRUPT Comey and his Crooked “investigators” HA WHAT A JOKE....will NEVER do anything to the Democrats.....only Republicans need to follow the law!! CAse in point Kaine and McDonald in Virginia....TWO AMERICAS!!
"There is nothing to see here. Go home.
My Queen and her aides are above the Law.
That is the FBI protocol for Special people, like Whitey.
And all payments were dutifully made by HSBC to me and Ms. Lynch."
They may have contained top secret classified material but they weren't market top secret.
The only new information in the State Department release is the identity of the recipients.
Jake Sullivan is currently Hillary’s national security advisor and is expected to be tapped for “The Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), appointed by the President without confirmation by the Senate” Among other duties he will be responsible for the secret kill list.
I think the most likely explanation is that Comey was referring to emails received and sent by Clinton. In that case there were just 3 with a confidential marking. In the case of her aides they probably got more marked emails and deleted any classification markings before forwarding them to her majesty. They are not stupid and know it is illegal but they also know that their cake is contingent on Hillary staying in power. Clinton sent at least one email telling them to do that.
Nobody cares because the Democrats hold fundraisers with The Washington Post.
Wake up FBI....your being played...
I've read that these SAP's are SO top secret that to merely possess them amounts to treason unless you've been granted specific permission, like, "need to know." They're passing them around like the latest Facebook Meme.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this, but widespread treason is a reason to send in the military police or something, right?
I stated before that there are dozens of people involved with this email scandal, in the state department and the white house. Will the big O pardon them all?
According to the Law but not according to Comey interpretation of the Law - possession of this material in the manner it was stored and sent, not the markings, is a felony criminal offense punishable by fines, imprisonment, and loss of government employment.
As Sec State, Hillary was a classifying authority and therefore fully responsible under the Law for the material’s handling.
O is also implicated as he and Jarrett asked her not to use a private server - Hillary ignored this and they did nothing - making them complicit with her.
Hillary is not indited and so cannot be pardoned. O cannot pardon himself.
If the emails were marked, they were not simply hand-copied by an aid onto the unclassified low-side.
So exactly HOW those emails got from the high-side networks to the low-side must be known by dozens of investigators and bureaucrats in the FBI.
No argument. I was just commenting on the inaccurate article.
“They may have contained top secret classified material but they weren’t market top secret.”
Speaking as someone who used to have a TS clearance, that is utterly irrelevant. It is the equivalent of discussing Top Secret programs while eating at McDonalds. Completely illegal, and anyone I worked with knew it. I’d be in jail if I pulled stuff out of my memory and posted it on FR, even though my memories don’t including “any kind of classification marking”!
It's relevant to my point that the article is inaccurate when they say the emails were market top secret.
Our corrupt government is lawless.
