Clinton told FBI she was ‘not concerned’ about sending classified emails

Blamed 2012 fall, blood clot for forgetting briefings on handling

Hillary Clinton didn’t know how secret information got to be classified, she told the FBI in her interview earlier this summer, according to documents released Friday — showing a striking lack of awareness for someone at the highest reaches of government.

Asked specifically about several emails that were marked classified at the time she handled them, Mrs. Clinton said told investigators she was “not concerned,” saying she doubted the information really needed to be kept secret.

As State Department secretary, Mrs. Clinton was one of the small number of officials who hold original classification authority, meaning they can unilaterally deem information secret. But Mrs. Clinton told FBI investigators she couldn’t recall how often she used it, nor whether she was even trained.

“Clinton could not give an example of how classification of a document was determined,” the investigators said in the notes of their interview, which was released along with other parts of the investigative file.

Instead, Mrs. Clinton repeatedly said she relied on others at the State Department to handle that area of her work, and if they handled information without marking it, she assumed it wasn’t classified.

And when asked specifically about emails with paragraphs marked with a “(C)” designating classified information, the former first lady, senator and top diplomat said she thought they denoted an alphabetical ordering, not secrets.

Clinton’s tend to think that, about a LOT of our classified info, don’t they?

Arrogant is right.

Most students I know who interned spent considerable time familiarizing themselves with SOP and protocol...She was doing everything she did deliberately...some people think the rules don’t apply to them...

And apparently she is right :(

I think what you have (I’ve watched at least a hundred interviews with her) is a 14-year-old girl mentality who is somewhat educated but unable to function beyond her realm of thought.

There are a class of people who seem to have gone on in life and reached some plateaus of success....but if you tried to engage in conversation with them....they lack any common sense and won’t accept any reality but what they dream up and keep within their little sphere of thought. I think she is one of those people.

Never seeing anything wrong with the Clinton Foundation or why people would continue to donate millions just to meet you and hear you speak....says volumes about her personality. The inability to grasp communications security or that various sources want to ease-drop into your conversation....again suggests that she just doesn’t care.

Sadly probably not as unusual as we might think

Typical commie whore. She cares about no one but herself. She doesn’t care if people die because of her arrogance.

lol she’s not even qualified to be an intern, either in professional or kneepad terms.....

She lacks all professional competence, and she certainly has no “bimbo” qualities, so she is utterly useless.

Comey knew obama would pardon her if indicted. By not indicting now she can be charged when Obama is no longer in office.

It’s not just her tenure as SOS...she lived in the Whitehouse for 8 years. IIRC, Bubba didn’t use emails because he didn’t think they were secure.

Obviously! That’s why she never used a secure government server for a single email.
She didn’t give a fat rat’s ass!

There are classification guidelines. She, having originating authority, should have known them.

Not if she’s elected. She’ll enjoy executive immunity.
