The U.S. intelligence community has retreated from claims that two emails in Hillary Clinton’s private account contained top secret information, a source familiar with the situation told POLITICO.

The determination came from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper’s office and concluded that the two emails did not include highly classified intelligence secrets. Concerns about the emails' classification helped trigger an on-going FBI inquiry into Clinton's private email set-up.

"A top expert in classification procedures called the development " an astonishing turn of events."

Lies. More lies. All lies.

The check cleared.

Were they 'lowly' classified secrets?

Regardless, she was not supposed to conduct any official business on a private server. Period.

Not only was it NOT top secret, it wasn’t even classified. Why, it was all recipes and yoga moves.

This is only a surprise to people who harbored the illusion that there was any integrity in DC.

For future reference: there isn't.

Looks like that hurdle is over, onward to the free sailing to the queen’s coronation.

concluded that the two emails did not include highly classified intelligence secrets.

So, they found two emails that didn't have highly classified stuff in them. What about the other 50,000 emails?

Did you know that Politico is spelled Politburo in Russian. Odd.

[MortMan]

False premise. “High;y” classified is the red herring here - simply “classified” is enough to PROVE she broke the law.

[ManHunter]

Well shazam!! “What we thought was classified really isn’t. now move along folks, nothing to see here.”

I guess Hitlery really is a paragon of truth, justice and the American way. (’Scuse me while I puke!)

This is such good news. Now we will get to read all of those supposedly TS/SCI documents. That will be so much fun. Thank you Hillary.

Of course I could be wrong. Maybe this is just Step 1 of the BIG COVER-UP.

Time will tell. But we probably don’t actually have to wait.

nothing else needs to be said

Our form of government was designed to be run by people possessed of morality and decency.

The past seven years are what happens when the opposite type of people are handed the reins of power.

[amorphous]

There were quite a number of emails (far more than two) determined to contain classified information from last reports I saw.

Destroying Ben Carson and saving Hillary is the order of the day at Politico.

This report requires a “willing suspension of disbelief.”

“Regardless, she was not supposed to conduct any official business on a private server. Period. “

This article is intended to reach the yeah-but-it’s-not- rape-rape liberal. Yeah, she used an illegal server but it’s not like that really matters.

If you or I or anybody else had done it we’d be in prison as there had to be classified information. Anything coming from her office would be at least confidential. But with over 30,000 emails none of them contained highly classified information? Just the subject matter and the fact she is talking about it indicates it should be classified.

But, as with Bill a-blow-job-isn’t-sex an email on Kaddafi during a war against him sent by the Secretary of State isn’t classified.

[RatRipper]

I am afraid we are in a “Do unto them BEFORE they do unto us” situation.

...and the children of the "U.S. intelligence community" are expected to live a long and fruitful life.
