The latest batch of Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department early Friday contain what may be the smoking gun that forces the Justice Department to charge the former secretary of state with a crime, according to former federal prosecutor Joseph diGenova."This is gigantic," said diGenova. "She caused to be removed a classified marking and then had it transmitted in an unencrypted manner. That is a felony. The removal of the classified marking is a federal crime. It is the same thing to order someone to do it as if she had done it herself."
On the June 17, 2011, email chain with senior State Department adviser Jake Sullivan, Clinton apparently asked Sullivan to change the marking on classified information so that it is no longer flagged as classified.
Clinton, using her private email server, asks for "the TPs," apparently a reference to talking points being prepared for her. Sullivan, who is using his official State Department email, responds, "They say they've had issues sending secure fax. They're working on it." Clinton responds, "If they can't, turn into nonpaper w[ith] no identifying heading and send nonsecure."
It's not clear if Sullivan actually followed through on Clinton's orders. But if he did, it may expose Clinton to serious legal jeopardy.
"This makes it impossible for the bureau not to recommend charges," diGenova said of the FBI. "This makes it impossible not to go forward, and it certainly ties the hand of the attorney general."
Some have speculated that while the FBI may recommend charges, Attorney General Loretta Lynch might try to avoid doing so for political reasons.
The revelation also appears to put to the lie Clinton's claim that she never handled classified information on her server.
"I did not send nor receive anything that was classified at the time," she has claimed. By instructing her aide to send her material marked classified, it is clear that she not only may have received classified information, but that it was indeed "classified at the time."
"This means that when she said, 'I never received anything marked classified,' she in fact did," diGenova said.
David Bossie, president of the watchdog group Citizens United, said the email could become the emblem of Hillary's email scandal.
"It proves that Hillary Clinton affirmatively instructed senior staff to send classified data to an unsecured server," he said. "With that, it cements into history, much like the famous Bill Clinton finger wag."
Thanks for your post. I thought I was going crazy or read a different email than everybody else did. There is NOTHING here. Nowhere at all is sending classified info or removing classified headers discussed. She is just talking about sending talking points via a non secure method that can be intercepted.
yeah, I admire the optimism on the board that there is ANY chance her or her husband will ever be indicted for anything
That would be a logical assumption, but never forget Comey is also an Obama hire, and Obama hires first and foremost on the candidate’s fealty to him. And also.. Obama’s people know everything there is to know about Comey, his background and his family.
I trust no one.

I think Comey is scared for his job and his retirement. Saying they don’t give a rip about politics. Setting up the server alone was illegal, was it not? Or, I should say, I’ve seen it described that way.
The fact that he’s done nothing seems he will do nothing. Especially if she gets the Dem nomination which seems likely.
The extreme left doesnt like her hubbie either.
As the material was clearly ‘secure’ prior to re-transmission, it’s not as though we’d be able to see the follow-up e-mail showing it WAS (illegally) done.
Lastly, I’d bet this the 1st ‘found’ of many such SNAFUs from Cankles.
Though, I have to wonder if the DoS released these to get ahead of what Judicial Watch has with all their FOIA responses?
I am re-posting Mr Apple’s links to make them LIVE.

This needs to be hammered on again and again. She must be held accountable for this.
I want this so bad to be the case, however I watched Comey a few weeks ago giving a speech in which he referred to ISIS as ISIL, so am not so sure he will do any harm to Hillary unfortunately.
Hope to be wrong
Gee, if only there was a Woodward and Bernstein out there who wanted to bring don’t a political elite.
Nixon was a piker compared to Clinton.
Its ok Hillary.... you can still be dogcatcher
“Nowhere at all is sending classified info or removing classified headers discussed.”
What part of “turn into nonpaper with no identifying header and send nonsecure” sounds legal to you?
Again, giving the order is enough to destroy her campaign. But if they have this direction to Sullivan, they can find that email, and she’s indicted.
The understanding from that point onward will be:
You enforce your garbage laws at gunpoint, and you'd better get there first, with the most men.
Smells like a smoking E-Mail to me!
I think they are going to sweep all this under the rug. If she wins she will resign and her VP will take over. The only way to get someone else in there, other than the 2 bozos left running! lol
she had a secure fax machine outside of a secure facility? another criminal matter!
