Agencies say info in Clinton emails was classified when sent
One of the emails contained classified intelligence from three different agencies, which could mean the State Department violated a President Obama-signed executive order by authorizing its release.
That 2009 order, EO 13526, lays out the rules for "classifying, safeguarding and declassifying national security information." It states that the authority to declassify rests with the intelligence agency that originated the information.
One of the two emails that sparked the FBI probe was an April 2011 email from Clinton confidant Huma Abedin that contained intelligence from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), which oversees aerial imagery, including satellites.
Despite this fact and despite the executive order, the State Department publicly released the email and its intelligence -- which was not theirs to declassify -- onto its website in May as part of the initial release of documents on the 2012 Benghazi attack.
Separately, Fox News has learned that a senior State Department official, Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy, who was deeply involved in the Benghazi controversy, is running interference on the classified email controversy on Capitol Hill.
Two sources confirmed that Kennedy went to Capitol Hill in early July and argued the 2011 Abedin email did not contain classified material.
An agency spokesman declined to comment.
Since the initial tranche of 296 Benghazi emails was released in May, a government official said all of the intelligence agencies have reviewers at the State Department to identify emails that may contain classified material that came from them, in order to avoid a repeat of the Abedin situation.

My God, I’ve been praying every day since 1992 that this woman would go to Leavenworth, and it may actually be happening!
These unnamed sources have apparently committed felonies now, in releasing classified intel to the public. Time to get some names.
With all the dead bodies around the Clintons they never got caught and believed they were immune to the laws. BUT messing with the military and national security might just be their downfall.
Anyone bother checking Huma’s mama’s emails or is she smarter at this than Hillary?
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)

Isn’t that racist?
Best thing they could do is immediately send several hundred thousand to Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition
and also institute extensive Diversity training at once.
