Official: Withheld Clinton emails contain 'operational' intel, put lives at risk
Fox ^ | February 01, 2016 | Catherine Herridge

Posted on 02/01/2016 8:04:11 AM PST by xzins

EXCLUSIVE: Highly classified Hillary Clinton emails that the intelligence community and State Department recently deemed too damaging to national security to release contain “operational intelligence” – and their presence on the unsecure, personal email system jeopardized “sources, methods and lives,” a U.S. government official who has reviewed the documents told Fox News.

The official, who was not authorized to speak on the record and was limited in discussing the contents because of their highly classified nature, was referring to the 22 “TOP SECRET” emails that the State Department announced Friday it could not release in any form, even with entire sections redacted.

The announcement fueled criticism of Clinton’s handling of highly sensitive information while secretary of state, even as the Clinton campaign continued to downplay the matter as the product of an interagency dispute over classification. But the U.S. government official’s description provides confirmation that the emails contained closely held government secrets. “Operational intelligence” can be real-time information about intelligence collection, sources and the movement of assets.

The reason that these leaks are emerging is that the FBI has already provided proof to DOJ of felonious conduct.

And DOJ is still sitting on it.

The FBI will continue to leak until she is indicted, under this POTUS or the next.

And they will most certainly leak enough damaging info to ensure that POTUS is not Hillary.

Pardon is her ONLY way out. Prosecutorial Discretion is not going to be sufficient.

"then she cannot be pardoned"

Ford pardoned Nixon without a charge being filed.

It is done at political levels.

She did more than put lives at risk, the Bengazi terrorists surely knew she didn’t provide our ambassador enough protection.

The other way out is a criminal referral, the DOJ takes it, then plea bargains down to a misdemeanor. I think an aide or two may get indicted for a felony, though.

That's where I'd put my money.

She also seems to have some very credible and “high up” sources who trust her...a lot!

The video I watched showed him drop his hands and reach for something at his waste, and then point that something at the cop in front of him. You can watch the video and commentary on this here: http://youtu.be/cMoiK60c_mU

OF COURSE THEY DO.

To believe Hillary’s story you’d have to believe that in 4 years as Secretary of State she never once sent any information that was classified, secret, top secret, SAP or whatever other levels they have on her email.

If that was the case, WHAT THE HELL DID SHE DO ALL DAY?

Not just that, you also have to believe no one SENT her any classified, secret, top secret or SAP information.

This is the Secretary of State. If she’s looking at information that didn’t have classified markings shouldn’t she know if it was supposed to be classified by the nature of the info?

Doesn’t this turn her Presidential slogan into “Vote Hillary! I can’t tell the difference between Top Secret US information and what should be published on the front page of the NY Times!”

Could those who attacked Benghazi have learned from Hillary’s server that Stevens was requesting extra security and being turned down almost daily?

Didn't the FBI finally get physical custody of the servers?

In the interest of fighting Climate Change (TM) Obama had the servers re-purposed to be artificial reefs in the Marianas Trench somewhere.

Those lives at risk have already been neutralized, either by the enemies or by our guys bringing them back. The enemy already knows who they are. Why the secrecy now? Mrs. Bill and Mr. Bill already sold all that info.

There is no longer any point in keeping these things secret. The affected ops are already dead or withdrawn.

All those republicans were screaming for Snowden’s head. Yet they say almost nothing about Hillary. And we KNOW Hillary gave our enemies information. All Snowden, to my knowledge, was tell us the government was spying on us. Which most of us already knew.

On another point, if Hillary goes to jail how much will her fine be and how long will the Clinton Foundation last?

I’m beginning to think cops are being trained to believe that when a person raises his hands in the air they are to empty their magazines.

If an 8 man Seal team were to be put together for the purpose you mentioned, every Seal would be willing to fight every other Seal for the privilege.

Catherine Herridge is an impeccable reporter.

Yes. She absolutely is. She should leave Fox and go to another network, because she's not going to rise at Fox.

Wrong. Ford pardoned Nixon for things he might have done.

I hope so.

It looked to me that he got a “hands up,” then a “drop your gun” and he made the mistake of getting his gun and dropping it.

I was briefly grounded due to an inner-ear problem and volunteered to supervise check points. I learned that the way to get shot was to obey the “drop your gun” order (unless it was in your hand), and instead slowly drop to your knees with hands outstretched, fingers showing, and let them come get your gun. Lay face down if you can do it without using your arms.

That way, no one can claim you were “going for your gun.”

You know I’m getting a little sick and tired of this incompetent, crooked winch Hillary Clinton thinking she’s above the law. When this email story first broke and she said she had never received or sent classified material over her email server, the first thought that entered by head was, WAS SHE DOING HER JOB! It’s impossible to be Sec of State and not see classified material daily. Or didn’t she had enough sense as Sec of State to recognize TS material when she saw it? If that’s the case (which it’s not) that would be even worse. That would mean we had a total moron running the state department for 4 years. Lord God, when will she be held accountable and brought up on charges? How in the world can anyone support this lying winch. If she were a republican, her worthless ass would have already been brought up on charges and convicted for gross incompetence, dereliction of duty and aiding and abedding the enemy.

I think her, obuma, Bill, and anyone else that had anything to do with the ‘emailgate’ should go to prison...

My point was, every foreign country knows our secrets by this government, so make the emails public so we the American People can see what damage this has done...

If people would have vetted obuma instead of being so excited over ‘the first black president’ we wouldn't be in this situation right now, so let's not elect Hillary to be the first ‘woman in the White House’ either, we need to vet these people and if they can't be vetted and seal everything up, then don't vote them in....
