I think I've got Hillary's email statements figured out. (vanity)
me

Posted on 01/22/2016 9:29:08 AM PST by Leaning Right

Hillary says: "...nothing that this says changes the fact that I never sent or received material marked classified."

So I looked it up. There is no Classified level in the US government system! The levels are Unclassified, Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret.

So she never did send or receive material marked classified, because there is no such thing. And that makes her statement literally true, but misleading in the vilest possible manner.

I think we've got yet another example here of a Clinton twisting word definitions, in order to lie without literally lying. But I can't imagine a jury at a perjury trial would buy it.

Side note: If I misunderstood how the US classifies secrets, I hope someone here will correct me. If I'm wrong, I'll fire off a secured apology email to Hillary.

Well as we all know, the Clintons are multi-time winners in the US National Word Parsing Championships.

Even if they did mark them as “Classified” it wouldn’t matter because as proven in another email she told people to strip off the heading that said “classified” and then send it.

Plus it’s no longer about lying to the public. It’s about a felony for not protecting US secrets which she agreed and swore to do under penalty of law. Which also requires her to report any violations of classified information.

Ironically, I don’t think she’s that smart. I think the parsing was over the word “marked.”

Hillary's excuse won't cut it because her people were ordered to remove the classified markings.

What about the new “innocuous” classification she invented?

We are all fed up with the Clintons and can’t totally get
shed of them because the good old boy Senate refused to get
shed of Billious when they had the chance AND a good reason.
Now, we’re stuck with them as long as the Lord chooses to
allow them to suck up the good air that’s left on this good
earth.

Another FReeper explained that the headings aren’t so much the issue, as it’s the content itself that has been put into a secure system where it MUST be handled correctly, the system enforces security, and only deliberate subversion of the system can get it out for possible abuse. Point being: she knew, or directed her subordinates to disregard, that the content was confidential and took deliberate steps to knowingly commit crimes with it.

Hillary also needs to be investigated if she was working for a foreign power.

It was very simple. She gave her user name and password to her left wing anti America buddies, Ivy League lawyers, and her Opecker Prince fan club.

Then, she would copy and paste Top Secret material and store it in a draft.

Next, her Muslim and Ivy League lawyers would log in using her user name and sign on with her password with their computers.

Then, they would go to her drafts, key up the Top Secret material and copy it. Next, they delete the draft and leave.

Now, they have a copy of the top secret data on their computers without getting an email from Hilliarily!

Then, she can lie and say she never sent top secret material emails to inappropriate peoples.

Had that one figured out a long time ago. Although, even that was a lie.

1) She probably never sent anything out, someone else did.

2) Some of it was marked AS classified(I've seen it), just not marked CLASSIFIED. The meaning of IS.

Since she was THE Classification Authority for the State Department, she knows that whether or not information is MARKED as classified is irrelevant.

It is classified by its content and/or source and must be protected as such. She was briefed on this and acknowledged by her signature that she was briefed and would safeguard all classified information in her possession in accordance with government regulations. This last bit is important. Failure to do so is a 'per se' federal felony.

Marking similar to this would be on the documents stored on Hillary's server. Although the term SCA has been used to describe the classification of the above Top Secret documents held by Hillary I believe SCI is actually the proper term.

SCI: Sensitive Campartmented Information.

This is the point everyone has missed. She WANTED to make the secret material available for outsiders. Most likely for the foundation donors. I wonder how often she changed the passwords. Could she have funneled it out through Huma and the rotherhood? Who knows. I’m sure it’s way worse than we will ever know.

If a thing isn’t “Unclassified” then by simple logic, it must be “Classified.” Any option above Unclassified is Classified in some way. It’s still perjury because the statement she offers is not truthful...in my non-lawyerly opinion. Of course, since I was summoned to do Federal Jury Duty in the early 90s, my opinion won’t matter.

Once again, Herself engages in the high art form of parsing words and obfuscating meanings.

Typically, documents of sensitive nature are carrying stamps like “Restricted”, “Confidential”, “Secret”, or “Top Secret” at both top and bottom of the page, and there is an identifier put in the subject line which further makes declaration of the classification. There are other classifications, some of more sensitive and restrictive nature even beyond “Top Secret”, but we are not allowed to learn of what that designation is, if possessing less than a “Secret” clearance. Those who possess the clearance are not authorized to disclose these terms or designations to others who do not.

Only the enemy knows the complete system and its various ramifications.

By the way, is Edward Snowden still under indictment, or has that been dropped as a way to set a precedent for Herself? It seems as though the same charges should apply.

You did good with the levels...but there are levels above Top Secret. Last week, a democrat IG reported that some of her emails were in that category...Special Access/Compartmentalized. That is the stuff that could end up getting people killed. Its gone beyond laziness/sloppiness/kickbacks to her foundation - she probably gave out more secrets than the Rosenbergs.
