Hillary Clinton told the FBI she didn't think drone strike plans were classified

Some of the classified information Hillary Clinton discussed in emails sent on her private server appears to have centered around planned drone strikes and attacks against US/NATO soldiers in Afghanistan, according to 58 pages of documents released by the FBI Friday detailing the bureau's investigation into the Democratic presidential candidate's email practices.

"After reviewing an email dated [redacted], with subject line [redacted], Clinton stated she did not remember the email specifically. Clinton stated deliberation over a future drone strike did not give her cause for concern regarding classification," the FBI's memorandum said, suggesting that Clinton's responses to specific questions she was asked during a 3-hour interview at FBI headquarters July 2 centered around classified information contained in her emails about the Obama administration's targeted killing program. "Clinton understood this type of conversation as part of the routine deliberation process ... Clinton believed the classification level of future drone strikes depended on the context."

In addition to the memo summarizing the FBI's investigation, the bureau released 11 pages of notes detailing an interview conducted with Clinton. The documents were released in response to Freedom of Information Act requests, including one filed by VICE News.

One suspects that Mrs. Clinton believes (and has so for decades) that Plausible Deniability will insulate her from any criminal or unseemly doings.

I had a friend in college who was a fun guy, but definitely not smart. It was his belief that NO ONE could ever be put in jail unless they confessed. So -- he had the whole thing figured out. (He thought he was damn clever.) If he committed a crime, and got caught by the police, and got brought into court ... HE JUST WOULDN'T CONFESS!!! And, you see, they'd have to let him go.

Apparently Hillary thinks the same thing. I'm standing by, waiting to see if my friend's theory is true.

Jemuh Green was on Fox news channel this morning literally laughing her ass off at those who accuse Clinton of any wrong doing. It was all quite an act too. You could tell she was 'fake laughing'. It was over the top phony. She had guilt written all over her face.

That's the democrats strategy at this point, because they have no defense at all, to use ridicule to try and deflect from Clinton's obvious incompetence, malfeasance, irresponsibility and treasonous corruption.

It's not gonna' fly with anyone who can still think.

She was legally REQUIRED to have training in handling classified material. If she didn’t get trained both Hillary and the person she reports to (you know who) can and should be prosecuted. But we now see just how laws don’t apply to the ruling class, a truly sickening spectacle.

"Either this woman is pretending to be mentally retarded or she really is mentally disturbed"

Either Hellary is seriously brain-damaged and unfit to be President... or Hellary is lying her fatass off again and is unfit to be President.

It should be impressed strongly and repeatedly on voters that they disgrace themselves and betray the United States by voting for a totally unfit Hellary.

Let’s assume for a moment that Hillary Clinton honestly didn’t know better. Let’s just give her the benefit of doubt and assume she has a heart of pure gold. Even IF true, how in the world could such a naive, inept person ever be trusted with the presidency? She is either diabolical or inept, right?

“If the drones go on strike it will be public knowledge anyway.. and why should I have to worry about agents being blown? Isn’t that their personal business?
You people sure are lucky the smartest woman in the world is taking over!”

All Comey needs to do is wear a dress from time to time.

It worked for J. Edgar

She had a great idea to post them in the WaPo daily so no one would get hurt by the drones.

“Clinton believed the classification level of future drone strikes depended on the context.”

My God, that is staggering. As somebody said on an earlier thread, there are three explanations.

1. She is stupid.
2. She is lying.
3. She has serious brain damage.

It probably is #2 and she’s covering up her underlying traitorous activities — selling state secrets to our enemies.
