The recent nonpartisan findings of the inspectors general of the State Department and the intelligence community — that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s personal email server potentially contains “hundreds” of pieces of classified information — have significant national-security and counterintelligence implications.
As former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and former chief counsel for the Senate Intelligence Committee, we share these concerns.
Understandably, those who have never dealt with classified material — the general public — can be misled by “political spin.”
It’s important to put the questions about Clinton’s personal storage of government emails into the same context in which they are viewed by national-security professionals.
Clinton’s spokesperson vehemently claimed that press reports about her emails were “false.”
However, the most troubling allegation — that the emails on Clinton’s personal server were found to contain classified information — was not specifically refuted.
Probably because it’s not “false.”
Clinton tried to wiggle out of this problem by suggesting that the matter was overblown because the documents were not classified at the time she had custody and “various parts of the government” are “disagree[ing]” about whether the material should be classified. Not so.
In a random sampling of 40 emails, two inspectors general found that four individual emails, or 10 percent of the sample, contained classified information.
According to Office of Inspector General spokesperson Andrea Williams, those emails were “classified when they were sent and are classified now.” Clinton’s spokesperson argued that Clinton couldn’t have been aware that the material was classified because it wasn’t specifically marked.
But that statement ignores how the process works. The reason government officials with security clearances are required to keep their correspondence on the appropriate government server is so the material can be vetted and classified prior to hitting “send” to an uncleared recipient.

Where are Boner and McDipsh!t?
Oh, August recess. I forgot.
I tend to agree at this time.
If they find those were destroyed, and she reasonably should have been aware they contained classified INFORMATION (whether marked or not), she will definitely be guilty of multiple felonies.
It may have to wait for the next Republican DOJ, but she's in deep.
An early sampling of her testimony:
“I don’t recall.”
“I don’t recall.”
“I don’t recall.”
“I don’t recall.”
“I don’t recall.”
“I don’t recall.”
“I don’t recall.”
“I don’t recall.”
“I don’t recall.”
“I don’t recall.”
Great post. Agree 100%.
