Hillary Clinton protected herself and left America exposed

It turns out that Hillary Clinton's email scandal could in fact get worse.

It was known already that Clinton had sent at least seven emails through her unsecured private system containing information that is classified or was at the time. (There could be many more still undiscovered.) But on Tuesday night, Senate investigators revealed that two of these contained information that is "Top Secret." The FBI is finally taking control of her server, and her candidacy is on the precipice.

Clinton, who previously maintained that she had sent no classified information at all by email, sent top-secret information that is classified as "Sensitive Compartmented" and "Talent Keyhole," meaning it had to do with top-secret satellite imagery. When government officials with the proper classification want to process, look at or even discuss materials like the ones Clinton sent through her insecure home-based email system, they must do so within special secure government facilities where phones and other possible recording devices are prohibited.

There is no way to spin this one: Clinton broke the law. Her campaign now absurdly tells everyone that the FBI is investigating her conduct, not her — a distinction without a difference.

He canhide behind what she did was not standard policy, its all on her and she ought to have known better. He will waste zero political capital on her, and if any has to be expended, it will be distancing himself from her.

Yup. They are supposed to be marked top/bottom with portion marking interior to the document. They are marked with the classifying entity, declassification date and derivations if applicable. The real thing is obvious as the nose on your face. I wrote some specialized code for PostScript printers in 1991 to scale docs and apply the top/bottom marks in place of purchasing pre-printed paper with the classification marking on it. The projects on my floor just retired that code last year as the "enscript" utility provided a general replacement.

We have to get annual refresher training on proper procedures. I don't mind as the breadth of the training covers items that I encounter rarely during the year. I didn't recognize the TK and SI caveats on Hillary's stuff. We have different ones. Mishandling the material is just inexcusable...and subject to prosecution.

You know what would be fun?

This is a perfect opportunity for the NSA to (ahem ahem) examine that wiped server using super-dooper top-secret techniques, after which (quelle surprise) all of those “deleted” emails suddenly and magically reappear.

Of course, what they would really be doing is simply restoring the server from the backups that I know darn well they have because if there is one thing I am absolutely sure of, the same NSA that scans our emails, tracks our cell phones, and (HI GUYS!) monitors all of our FR postings is NOT going to be so incompetent as to ignore an unsecured server being operated illegally by the United States Secretary of State.

Now, whether they will or not, that’s a different story, but they could do it. Plus, this would give them deniability because they would not have to admit to having them in the first place. Nope nope, we just recovered them from the server. How? Sorry, can’t discuss how it works. Top secret, need to know, all that.

The fact that Clinton exposed classified material at all indicates incompetence and carelessness, as we have previously noted.

Or, she competently cared because she knew exactly what she was doing. YMMV...

I once thought O’Malley could win the nomination, but he’s a joke.

Sanders can’t win a general election and thus will not be allowed to win the nomination.

Gore is staying in mothballs.

Biden, only Biden, with Obama’s backing.

[campaignPete R-CT]

I will take the bet and say that it won’t be Hillary, won’t be Sanders and won’t be Biden.

Somebody else.

The question is did she expose herself to Huma.

That's just a plain old downright disgusting thought.

[archy]

Uhoh. They've been going through the existing emails, and found a video link to where her other server was set up.

[Impy]

I’ve long thought there’s a big opening for someone with a Spanish surname. But I’ve seen no indication.
