That's BIG news...
Farrell said he has not seen evidence that anyone associated with the former secretary of state removed classified documents from secure networks and then rewrote the classified information into the private email account, or removed classification markings from secret material.
However, he said he believes that the FBI will be investigating that possibility.
“What I have seen is the excerpting and maybe verbatim copying” of classified information, he said, adding that the nature of the information describes is “clearly SCI material.”
Farrell said his investigation of the matter indicates that Clinton aides likely read classified documents and then digested and excerpted the material into the unclassified email system.

The Great Pumpkin might want to have that pantsuit handy.
If she didn’t do anything wrong, why did she destroy the evidence???
At the same time, the campaign sought to play down the disclosure by saying the material had been retroactively classified
Relative to the above quote:
The Inference: The subject matter discussed in the Hillary emails was unclassified at the time of the email generation.
The Very Likely Facts of the Matter: The subject matter was classified, in some cases at at the TS/SCI level, prior to the generation of the Clinton emails. There was nothing "retroactive" about the documents that Hillary and Company were reading and utilizing in the emails that they were composing. Some of those emails either quoted directly or referenced that already classified information.
Don't let Hillary get away with this. Don't let her off the hook.
You can't "retroactively classify" a Hillary email until you've read it. That's what is actually being referenced here. The IG and the Intelligence Community are in the process of classifying those emails. Is that "retroactive classification"? I guess it is in some sense - but not in the sense that Hillary want's us to believe in. And it doesn't change the fact that the information in those emails was classified prior to their generation.
In one article, I think npr “probe may widen”, Hillary actually claimed innocent because of the “culture of classification” within the intelligence community.
I’m floored.

It's possible that this stuff we sent to her .gov e-mail and she set up a rule in Outlook to auto-forward all e-mails to her personal e-mail server. If I was investigating, I'd be looking for any custom rules like that being set up.
Barbara Wise was a Commerce Department staffer when she died on Nov. 29, 1996. As the scandals continued to swirl around the Commerce Department, and most of all about John Huang, one of Huang's associates, Barbara Wise, was found dead in her locked office at the Department of Commerce, partially nude and covered with bruises. No cause of death has ever been announced.
Charles Meissner was Assistant Secretary of Commerce for International Economic Policy. Following Ron Brown's death, John Huang was placed on a Commerce Department contract that allowed him to retain his security clearance by Charles Meissner. Shortly thereafter, Charles Meissner died in the crash of a small plane.
Ron Brown was a former Chairman of the DNC and was Commerce Secretary, died May 3, 1996. Ron Brown died along with 39 other people when the T-43 (a converted 737 used by the Air Force) carrying the group on a trip to Bosnia crashed while approaching the Dubrovnik airport. On the verge of being indicted and having stated his willingness to make a deal with prosecutors, Ron Brown's death brought to an end his ability to testify. Military investigators concealed from the public the fact that a perfectly cylindrical hole, the size of a .45-caliber round, was found in the top of his head. Surprisingly, no autopsy was performed.
Hillary needs to tell the press what she knows about these three deaths.
Let me get this straight, if I’m SOS, nothing I say can be considered classified material even when I’m commenting on classified material or when I’m issuing instructions based on my understanding of classified information? If so, do away with the position of SOS as it can have no functionality.
Were there any other channels? I've heard that Hillary never took the secure Blackberry offered to her by State. So, how did she stay informed about sensitive information?
Please let me know if you want on or off the Old Crow ping list.
This is even bigger news than most people think.
The classified information in the emails is still classified even if it was not marked as such. My fellow Old Crows can vouch for this. Most of us have lived our lives dealing with this information on a daily basis.
Hillary, personally, as SoS, is the classification authority for the DoS. Anyone and everyone with access to classified information is supposed to recognize when something is classified and take direct action when they find that something is mislabeled and/or being mishandled.
Saying that she saw classified information and did not immediately act to secure the information and prevent further mishandling is itself admitting to a serious violation of National Security.
On top of that, it opens her to charges of Obstruction of Justice for NOT seeing that her subordinates were disciplined for violating federal law.
Furthermore, if the White Hut knew about this and did not direct the FBI and the appropriate agency sources of the information to deal with this immediately then THEY are looking at Obstruction of Justice charges.

Bottom line: As SoS, Clinton would have received classified e-mails during her tenure. Investigators should easily be able to find out from someone who sent some of them where they were sent. Bingo. Fait accompli.
Hillary Clinton was selling classified data to foreign governments.
Money is all she cares about.
She is a spy.
That is all there is to it.
Federal grand jury right now.
If anyone believes those emails weren’t classified when she received them, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. This is a major CYA effort. Virtually every document the Secretary of State sees is classified. There is an unbelievably massive coverup effort in operation here. The State Dpeartment is infested with liberals; they are protecting their old boss and the media is complicit.
That’s been their plan all along. If it was classified it was only classified AFTER it came to me then went elsewhere.
That's BS news...and piss poor reporting.
BIG news would be NAMING the “secure data center in New Jersey".
Not her fault.
