In movies, documents have a large, red stamp at the top: Classified. The stamped documents - which have been replaced by e-mails, phones, or thumb drives - have to be protected from the bad guys at all costs. Too bad Hillary Clinton doesn't understand what every American moviegoer over age five knows instinctively.
The Intelligence Community's inspector general Charles McCullough III recently reported that at "least several dozen of the emails sent and received by Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state contained classified material, including intelligence material classified at the highest levels."
The e-mails varied in their levels of classification: "classified," "secret," "top secret/SAP" (or "special access programâ€) which includes the highest and most protected national security information.
This is big news.
Clinton has always maintained that none of the emails she sent or received were marked classified. But, as David French wrote, "every single federal employee who handles classified information — from the secretary of state to administrative assistants and Army sergeants — is required to protect both 'marked and unmarked' classified information." Classified information made its way into these "unmarked emails" which could’ve been intercepted by foreign intelligence agencies since she sent them from her private, unsecured server on a private, unsecured smartphone.
Even though Sen. Bernie Sanders said that Americans were "sick and tired" of hearing about her "damn emails," this issue will not go away.
Not for lack of trying.
Charles Cooke described her comical dishonesty on display at her press conference. He wrote,
"As is now clear, Hillary possesses almost none of Bill's remarkable personal virtues. She's not warm or spontaneous or alluring or quick. She has no discernible political instincts. She doesn't even seem to enjoy the human contact on which successful public servants thrive. But boy can she fib with the best of them. From start to precipitous finish, her performance was pure Clintonian evasion. 'What I did,' she argued carefully — after trying a quick ‘nothing to do with me' for good measure — 'was legally permitted, number one, first and foremost, okay?' 'Number two,' she offered, 'they've already concluded more than 1,200 of the e-mails I gave them have nothing to do with the work, and I said make them public.' 'I know,' she concluded emphatically, that 'there's a certain level of, you know, sort of anxiety or interest in this, but the facts are the facts.'"
Move along. There's nothing to see here.
But then, the Washington Beacon published a non-disclosure agreement that Hillary Clinton signed back in 2009 the day after she took the position of Secretary of State which shows she knew "negligent handling" of classified data could cause her to face criminal penalties. The document which she signed read:
"I have been advised that the unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent handling of SCI by me could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation. I have been advised that any unauthorized disclosure of SCI by me may constitute violations of United States criminal laws… nothing in the agreement constitutes a waiver by the United States of the right to prosecute me for any statutory violation."
In other words, this is concrete proof that she knew what her actions were illegal. But, we didn't need proof.
If the Secretary of State didn't know what the basic law was regarding national security, it doesn't bid well for her competency as President. Not that she'll necessarily make it to the Oval Office. This Democratic front-runner is facing an ever expanding FBI investigation, which will invariably heat up with these new revelations. She could even be indicted before any votes are cast.
In the movies, the secret documents are stolen, but the good guys eventually show up before too much damage is done. But in real life, the "good guys" sometimes act like "bad guys."
Let's hope that truth and justice will be re-established before the lights go down on this nation.
If all of the following are true, Obama will not let Hillary be indicted:
* Hillary has FBI files and other sources, regarding Obama
* Obama has done illegal and/or embarrassing things
* Hillary is evil enough to threaten Obama
Thus, Obama will not let Hillary be indicted.
The question is: what will the FBI do about that, and when?
Hillary is getting old and she is sick and she doesn't have near the power the Clintons used to have.
Her lifetime of arrogance and corruption and nastiness have left her with no friends and lots of enemies.
She is a toothless and clawless old cat who is growling and arching her back to try and scare people.
You just grab her by the nape of her neck and throw her out the door.
Excellent analogy!
I predict she will drop out soon citing health issues.
If all of the following are true, Obama will not let Hillary be indicted:

* Hillary is evil enough to threaten Obama
Thus, Obama will not let Hillary be indicted.
The question is: what will the FBI do about that, and when?

We have the winner!!
According to Hillary, none of her 'emails' had any classification markings on them at all, because her 'staff' would intercept her emails, transcribe the body of the text onto a piece of paper, and give that to her.
The old 'plausible deniability' excuse.
Bill & Hill multiple time winners at the national word parsing championships.
Please do no tindict her until October.
Bump
If shillary and cabal go down hard, I’d wager a bit that the obamoa crew will also. They have to have large “files” of dirt on each other.
Mutual assured destruction
Fine, if they do nothing, then let Trump, his FBI director and Mark Levin as Attorney General indict her! Now wouldn't That be something. . almost popcorn time already.
Yes, alas, the American people never get enough of Mr. Bill and now Mrs. Bill, who they think will rule like Mr. Bill and return their “good economy”.
Sounds like a lot of wishful thinking on your part; hopefully you are on to something.
Ok, I'm an optimist. Why not? We're still living in the best place at the best time in the history of mankind. ;-)
"The dog ate my emails!"
Hillary will delay until she has enough delegates to beat Bernie
FBI announces they want DOJ to indict
They don't because she quits and gives her delegates to Joe Biden and only then can the DNC control the Democratic nomination
What difference does it make if she’s indicted or not?
oBLOOMER will simply wet his panties and pardon her on his way out :(
I hope she doesn’t get indicted before Cruz and/or Trump demolish her in her bid for CIC.
Then indict the bitch. There is nothing I would rather see than her in a size XXXL orange jumpsuit doing the perp-walk on her way to prison.
