NEW YORK (Reuters) - For months, the U.S. State Department has stood behind its former boss Hillary Clinton as she has repeatedly said she did not send or receive classified information on her unsecured, private email account, a practice the government forbids.
While the department is now stamping a few dozen of the publicly released emails as "Classified," it stresses this is not evidence of rule-breaking. Those stamps are new, it says, and do not mean the information was classified when Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner in the 2016 presidential election, first sent or received it.
But the details included in those "Classified" stamps — which include a string of dates, letters and numbers describing the nature of the classification — appear to undermine this account, a Reuters examination of the emails and the relevant regulations has found.
The new stamps indicate that some of Clinton's emails from her time as the nation's most senior diplomat are filled with a type of information the U.S. government and the department's own regulations automatically deems classified from the get-go — regardless of whether it is already marked that way or not.

> Are we a nation of laws?
That question was answered definitively when the Senate left Bill Clinton in office despite incontrovertible evidence he lied under oath in court.

Ruh Roh, when even Rooters can see the handwriting on the wall.
The O admin had to know Hillary was doing this. They probably encouraged it or looked the other way...until now.
Once Hillary did this, she became toast. She probably will avoid jail time, but this gives the ValJar and Obama the chance to propel Hillary OUT and bring in Biden....or perhaps even Mooch.
To carry on the transformation of a free country to a communist country is the reason for it.
Absolutely. All cabinet members hold OCA for their respective offices. Your points are acutley poignant and a specific reason why she is nowhere qualified for POTUS. I read a book when Clinton first took office called “Unlimited Access” that went point-by-point as to why neither Bill nor Hillary should ever be allowed to cross the threshold at the White House, let alone serve in office.
Apparently, her inner circle at DOS where all professional hacks and not career diplomats.
I agree that they had to know and they’ve been negligent in not stopping this from the very beginning. Of course, when things go wrong, Obama claims he only found out about it after he read it in the news papers.
If this is being made public, the FBI must have some doozies they are holding close.
Perfexf timing
It is embarrassing to think the State Department is this incompetent. I expect these things from the Clintons. It’s in their DNA. But to think that no one, not one person, came forward with this as a whistle blower. We know about this because of a Romanian hacker who had the screen name of Guccifer, not because someone said, “Hey, this use of a private email server will endanger national security!!!”
lol
O admin didn’t want to stop her. She was being set up for this moment to be taken down.
Hillary can’t even squeal that the O admin knew or approved of her actions without indicting herself.
She has been had. Imagine that. No wonder old Bill looked super angry on the golf course.
Classified information is classified, whether stamped or not.
For example, when there were Snowden leaks, it was still forbidden to discuss or point out information that was secret versus top secret versus free to discuss when the news stories were leaked.
The only thing the lack of classification banner lines does is say she may be found innocent by ignorance, and shift the blame to the person who deleted/cut off the classification banner lines, which is a crime.
Simply her plans to meet with other high ranking people and topics of discussion are highly sensitive.
She’s an original generator of classified info, by virtue of the job.
So... she will use the insanity defense?
Your point is well made and I would add that among all the scandals in which Hillary was involved this one conclusively shows that Hillary does not possess the judgement to be a garbage collector.
The Ashley Madison affair.....wonder?? whose names “could” be hacked....interesting fantasy
Perhaps it’s wrong to gloat, but I’m going to anyway because the very existence of this site has always bugged the $#*t out of me, standing as a glaring, in-your-face example of how our society is in complete and utter moral free-fall.
And now that there’s been a second, even more massive dump of data from the shadowy, elusive ‘Impact Team’ -one that includes the CEO’s own emails, even source code for all his websites/mobile apps, etc- this is a hack even a righteous man can love...
Credit card info, email/billing addresses, and other data released by the hackers has already been crunched by the AP to reveal Ashley Madison cheaters who were chasing-tail from numerous corporate entities, Wall Street banks, the United Nations, state universities, the US military, various federal agencies, even a White House advisor. Ashley Madison people have told law enforcement they suspect an ‘inside job’.
Hildabeast’s latest tweet is blaming the classification system as the “real problem”. They know they are busted if they are retreating back to that excuse.
Logic? Which demonRAT uses logic?
We knew this from the start, but the demonRATs will defend her to the death. I hope the bitch survives and becomes the demonRAT candidate.
If she can win, the USA is over and the next shooting revolution will begin.
Thanks. The question remains—if Hillary did not send or receive classified data on her server, which server did she use for that purpose?
Since she did not use a government server, or any other server, the only remaining possibility for her to be innocent is that the Secretary of State did not send or receive ANY classified information during her entire term.
I doubt whether even one day would go by wherein a SecState would not be dealing with classified information.
