Number of Hillary Clinton’s emails flagged for classified data grows to 60 as review continues

While media coverage has focused on a half-dozen of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal emails containing sensitive intelligence, the total number of her private emails identified by an ongoing State Department review as having contained classified data has ballooned to 60, officials told The Washington Times.

That figure is current through the end of July and is likely to grow as officials wade through a total of 30,000 work-related emails that passed through her personal email server, officials said. The process is expected to take months.

The 60 emails are among those that have been reviewed and cleared for release under the Freedom of Information Act as part of a open-records lawsuit. Some of the emails have multiple redactions for classified information.

Among the first 60 flagged emails, nearly all contained classified secrets at the lowest level of “confidential” and one contained information at the intermediate level of “secret,” officials told the Times.

If I were the Clinton Machine, I would claim the ghost server was part of an elaborate trap to identify hackers, and that top secret and confidential information was actually disinformation as part of a counter espionage rouse.

And Clinton brought up a Top Secret communications line with no encryption and no Firewall.

One thing that helps shield Hillary is all this is that so few Americans have any real understanding or appreciation of what it all means, fewer and fewer having any military experience. But it's just incredible that she could claim that no classified information went through her server and get away with for months. No one should have believed that on the surface.

Thank you. That's encouraging. I believe that David Petraeus was taken down because the current Administration was concerned he'd be a presidential threat in 2012. Nonetheless Petraeus used poor judgement and was fortunate to just get probation and a fine.

What Shrillary Clinton did is far, far worse. Incalculable damage to our security has been done here. In an earlier era, this kind of treason would be punishable by death.

This is how the bad guys KNEW the security profile of Bengazi, time to respond and When Chris Stevens would be there.

My work email thru an AS400 rejects emails to competitors, rival companies, government agencies, and so on...

Same here. My employer monitors my work email and blocks emails to competitors and other domains. I signed a document stating that I would not conduct any company business online outside the company's network. It blows my mind that a SOS could conduct business like this. This is nothing short of treason.

"all this is that so few Americans have any real understanding or appreciation of what it all means"

A few good TV ads could easily enlighten them.

The pardon will just be the final nail in the coffin.

So why isn't she retaliating? I can't figure that one out. She has to have something on him. She couldn't have been stupid enough to trust him.

[blackdog]

Every email should have become a product of an exception report, as that was never an authorized domain to do government business.

Who was getting those exception reports?

"She couldn't have been stupid enough to trust him"

Obama was smart enough to not trust her.

I don't think she has anything on him beyond mildly embarrassing.

Otherwise there would be no public investigation.

Perhaps it is too soon for predictions, but here goes anyway.
Hilary will suspend her campaign due to health reasons.
After the democRats have selected a new candidate, the FBI will end their investigation and clear Hilary of any wrong doing.
The democRats will go on a campaign blaming the Republicans for ginning up an investigation in the first place.
And Barack Obama will have vanquished the Clinton's and blamed it all on republicans.
After all Bill,
This town ain't big enough for the Obama's and the Clinton's.

"Who was getting those exception reports? "

Nobody. They just did it.

“...containing “top-secret” information possibly derived from Pentagon satellites...”

“possibly”????

No....CERTAINLY!!!!!

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

*sigh* That will most likely be the case. God, I’m so sick of this corruption. >:-(

What is it an automatic mandatory 5 years minimum sentence for each email?

Oh and the Obstructing of Justice (professionally wiping clean of her emails) in a felony case is an automatic mandatory minimum of 10 years I think?

I’m sure some lawyers could answer this.

I guess the "smartest woman in the world" is actually a dumbass.

[Enlightened1]

The Republicans would not do squat.

My bet is that the people that control our politicians do not want her in office.

This is because Putin has all her emails.

Besides its the Republicans turn for 8 years. That’s the way it has played out since 1992.

personal emails containing sensitive intelligence — no wonder she didn’t recognize it! /rimshot!

I think your example is EXACTLY why this one might stick. My wife walks around with two phones and has to work within network security rules. Everyone either does, or knows somebody who does.

I’ll bet the inconvenience of that second phone is looking a lot better today.

Bull. Bells, dingers, flags, alarms, and all other sorts of crap was going off every time they hit send or receive. Who in the wings of our government approved this set-up. Someone did. Higher up than Hillary! Someone had to squash those exception reports and alarms.

Who?
