Clinton told FBI she was ‘not concerned’ about sending classified emails

Blamed 2012 fall, blood clot for forgetting briefings on handling

Hillary Clinton didn’t know how secret information got to be classified, she told the FBI in her interview earlier this summer, according to documents released Friday — showing a striking lack of awareness for someone at the highest reaches of government.

Asked specifically about several emails that were marked classified at the time she handled them, Mrs. Clinton said told investigators she was “not concerned,” saying she doubted the information really needed to be kept secret.

As State Department secretary, Mrs. Clinton was one of the small number of officials who hold original classification authority, meaning they can unilaterally deem information secret. But Mrs. Clinton told FBI investigators she couldn’t recall how often she used it, nor whether she was even trained.

“Clinton could not give an example of how classification of a document was determined,” the investigators said in the notes of their interview, which was released along with other parts of the investigative file.

Instead, Mrs. Clinton repeatedly said she relied on others at the State Department to handle that area of her work, and if they handled information without marking it, she assumed it wasn’t classified.

And when asked specifically about emails with paragraphs marked with a “(C)” designating classified information, the former first lady, senator and top diplomat said she thought they denoted an alphabetical ordering, not secrets.

Of course she is not concerned.

Anything that could hurt the security of the USA has already been given by her to our enemies.

Anything that would make her look bad will be either covered up by her media (that's all the MSM) or they will lie about it to make her glow and be surrounded by unicorns, balloons and rainbows.

She is untouchable and the current Media Darling.

C is “alphabetical ordering”? rofl So where were all the As, Bs, Ds, Fs, etc.?

When asked about this, Hillary responded, "C CCC'C CCCCCCCC".

No one is a term I use lightly. We are watching it but the majority of the voters who are incharge of this government but don’t care any more than a drunk driver are not watching the news. They don’t know that the biggest news days for the Clinton con game are Friday’s especially before a holiday weekend

I understand what you meant.

I, for instance, never watch the news, don't watch TV. But I would say I have more 'information' about the political scene than the average person. I would also admit much of it is biased, but I try to make sure I get all sides of a story.

And as if by magic....

The FBI did Hillary Clinton no favor by releasing their report on her during the holiday weekend
