That's a felony.
Hillary’s people have for some time now been riding this classic Clinton line with respect to classified information moving through her completely insecure homebrew e-mail server. She didn’t send or receive any e-mails that were marked classified at the time.
I’m having a flashback: It depends what the meaning of the word is is. If is means isn’t now and never was, then . . .
But remember, that’s Bill. He’s the guy who can steal your clothes and still sell you a cleaning ticket. Hillary is nowhere near as good at lying, which is funny because she doesn’t seem capable of making a truthful statement about anything. So when they tell you none of the e-mails were “marked classified at the time,” your first thought (or at least mine) is this: Do they regularly send around e-mails containing sensitive information and only after the fact decide to mark them classified? I’m in no way an expert here but just from a common sense perspective, that strikes me as a strange way of dealing with highly sensitive information.
Then again, maybe they weren’t “marked classified at the time” because someone illegally removed the classification marking in order to give Hillary plausible deniability. That’s what a Fox News source within the State Department thinks:
“Somebody” broke the law but it wasn’t Hillary! /s And every democrat will be saying that.
From my understanding, only 40 out of 30,000 emails on her server were randomly inspected, and 4 of those had top secret clearance.
So removing the TS is only part of the major crimes committed.
Excuse # 47 why HRC isn’t a world-wide criminal interested in selling the US out to whomever will cough up the bucks to the Clinton Foundation.
We don’t know that. All we know is what Hillary authorized to go out in the email to her supporters. All of which has been proven to be utter BS. So, no, nobody stripped anything off, it’s a smoke screen
‘somebody did it’ syndrome .... who else would do something like that except shillary, she is a witch, always has been and always will be...
And they did it entirely on their own initiative, without any input from Hillary herself. We're supposed to believe that.
Anyway, I don't believe any of it. Hillary's had possession of the server and its hard drives for months since it became a hot potato. Every byte it contains should be assumed to have been doctored.
LOL
removing the classification tag from a document doesn’t declassify it.
she knowingly received classified information via unsecure channels.
she set up those channels.
she goes to jail.
anyone that removed the clearance tag should also go to jail.
it’s really not that complicated.
Criminals break laws...that is what they do. hillary is a scum-sucking, consistent liar and a life-long criminal.
I am just amazed that while the dems and media do this kabuki dance on classified materials, no one is really talking about a Government employee setting up their own private e-mail server/system to conduct Government business. Why hasn't she been charged? The dem talking points are everyone else did it so why is this an issue.
Hillary is pretending to be the President of the United States, responsible for the entire Executive Branch of the Federal Government. With this issue, it doesn’t matter who stripped the classification markings, she is responsible for what happened. She made the decision to ignore law and regulation and create a secret and private email system. What ever happened on that system is her responsibility and she should be held accountable.
A second point is that Hillary is no dummy. No doubt she see the same email on her secret system stripped of markings that she saw on a government system, or in print. She had to know that she was looking at the same document, altered to deceive and cover up what they were doing.
The original, classified information could be only handled inside a SCIF, on computers that are installed there and connected to whatever secure network they may be connected to, through the encryption hardware. One would presume that the State Dept. has a good number of SCIFs, as most of what they do is expected to be classified in some way.
If we presume that the secure computers don't have USB ports or other I/O that is suitable for exfiltration of information, then the criminal could smuggle a cell phone into the SCIF and capture the screen with a camera, or just retype relevant parts of the message into the phone. This would also remove classification markings, as they would not be copied. Naturally, phones and other such equipment is not allowed into a SCIF. But who is going to search high-flying officials of the department?
The easiest way to find out who sent the stolen classified information is by looking at the headers of those emails. They say something like "from:jane.doe.123567@abc.def.us.gov" - and you can take it from there. Given that there are many such emails, the senders are going to die in prison unless they make a deal with prosecution - and that means revealing the whole scheme. Managers are well known for insisting on their own IT solutions, but here the senders had to commit an obvious federal crime. What were they thinking?
Is that as serious as removing the mattress tag?
I want to know if Hillary’s attorney had security clearance so that he could have the information in his possession.
Looks like Hillary is going to throw Huma under the bus!
it’s only national security.
which makes it almost as serious as deflating a football
I certainly hope her advance team is removing all of the ashtrays everywhere she goes......
