Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine on Sunday defended Hillary Clinton against criticism over her handling of classified information as secretary of state, saying she was unaware of the sensitivity of some information she exchanged over email because it had been "improperly labeled."
In July, the Federal Bureau of Investigation rebuked Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, for her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, saying she was "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information.
According to records released by the FBI on Friday, Clinton told the bureau's investigators in a July interview that she could not recall getting any briefings on how to handle classified information or comply with laws governing the preservation of federal records.
Kaine, a U.S. senator from Virginia who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees, told ABC's program "This Week," that the volume of information received by government officials often makes it difficult to know what information has been declared classified.
"There were emails that contained classified information that had been improperly marked. So when she received the email, the material that was classified - which is supposed to be flagged and identified as classified - in many instances was improperly labeled," he said.

Kaine was in no way part of the loop and is in no position to know.
I hear birds chirping.
wow it’s a morphing sukubutt demon showings it’s stripes, she cannot retrieve phone hardware because she flew it to shegrala on mohamms horse will be next..
She lies, and he swears to it.
Kaine and Unable.
Kaine is trying to show he is qualified to be President.
One of the jobs of the President is to read incredibly stupid lying talking points and pretend you believe them.
Mission accomplished.
Do they really think we’re this stupid?
I didn’t know Kaine needed a seeing eye dog.
There is no way Kaine would be on the ticket unless he is as dirty (well, almost) as she is.
Is this the guy with the freaky eyebrow?
Dog ate my homework did not work for me in the third grade, your excuse Mr. Kaine is not working today. Perhaps we should, oh I don’t know, perhaps let justice take it course and allow Hillary to defend her actions in a court of law.
Do you expect me to believe that? It’s the CONTENTS that matter. The conclusion is that hillary is unable to assess the importance of a communication after reading it. She is so weak and frail, and stupid, that she needs it to be labeled in a certain way.
And you expect me to think that this frail old fool can be president?
When purposefully remove classified documentation from a classified system... and move it onto an unclassified system you really don’t want to have the classifications showing up now do you?
Well said. She’s too stupid or ignorant to know that something is sensitive or classified based on the content of it. She’s too stupid to know these details, so everything is the fault of some underling who didn’t label something properly.
This is what we are supposed to believe, and based on this horse blank reasoning, we are supposed to believe Hillary is the smartest woman in the world, and the best qualified individual ever to run for president. .
It didn’t hurt the Democrats when Bill Clinton made the same proposals.
Oops. Wrong thread.
Weren’t CIA operatives discussed in at least one?
Kaine is an IDIOT!!!!
Don’t we have any smarter and more discerning people to serve as Governors and Senators?
Of course we do, but the robotic Dim machine passes them by in favor of trolls like Kaine!!!!
Utter lunacy. She doesn't know what classified material is? Not exactly a great qualifier to be President. In addition - she still set up a private unsecured server to do official business on - so labeling or not, she still decided to do that. He's trying to distract from reality.
