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.

Didn’t her Husband misplace “The Football” when he was President?

Too bad he didn’t have Biden around to tell him which guy was holding it, in front of a crowd of Hillary sycophants no less.

C is “alphabetical ordering”?

rofl

So where were all the As, Bs, Ds, Fs, etc.?

rofl

How did the FBI questioners keep from cracking up and spilling coffee all over themselves?

Let’s hope some comedians have some fun with this—omg omg.

Trump _must_ make an ad with this—a really funny ad.

Maybe they could interview state department employees as they walk out of the building and show them a piece of paper with the “C” on it and ask them what it means.

Each person says “confidential”.

Then they break to voiceover: “Every state department employee we talked to today knew that C meant confidential”

So, would you like to know what Hillary Clinton said when questioned by the FBI on what that “C” meant?

She said it was “alphabetical”.

That’s right, “alphabetical”.

How did Comey let her off?

Because Comey is a obama appointed minion.

So this someone who is unrepentant about leaking clearly classified (even Top Secret) info.
How can Comey not recommend prosecution. Her intent is she does not accept any expert classifications from DOD CIA etc. In fact with this attitude on drone strike info, Hillary will keep nothing safe (but evidence of her criminality) given half a chance.

I know there are many who are not fans of GW but I’m not one in that audience. Dumb isn’t attached or equivalent to someone who not only graduated from Yale and Harvard but ultimately was a pilot as well.

Dumb people don’t become pilots. His lack of knack for grammar I’ll give you that. Dumb? Far from it.

I understand why you say that, but she is clearly aware enough of what is right and wrong to have tried to cover her tracks, and to be very manipulative politically. IMHO, she is a narcissist.

the fact the FBI conducts the release (dump) on a Friday is really sad and telling......and telling. FBI is clearly a political arm of the Admin, through their own action.

Trump campaign should make a point of this. Add another “C” to the growing list.....Collusion

Crooked, Corrupt, Confused, Criminal, Collusive......

Well now, in the government security training that I have to endure, we are taught that it is EVERYONE's responsibility to protect classified data.

But we have no evidence that this incompetent shrew ever took her security training, do we?

If someone wants to believe that Mrs. Clinton didn't have "criminal intent," then one has to accept that she is an incompetent boob. There is no other explanation that fits the facts.

Of course, I think that she is an incompetent boob who also had criminal intent.

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

Always the optimist.

Can they indict Comey as a co-conspirator?

Just think, If Hitlary had arranged for both odumbo and Biden to be, shall we say “removed”, she could have avoided all this “theater”, probes, etc., she would already BE POTUS.
