Clinton's classified email errors due to 'improper labeling': Kaine

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine on Sunday defended Hillary Clinton against criticism over her handling of classified information as secretary of state, saying she was unaware of the sensitivity of some information she exchanged over email because it had been "improperly labeled."

In July, the Federal Bureau of Investigation rebuked Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, for her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, saying she was "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information.

According to records released by the FBI on Friday, Clinton told the bureau's investigators in a July interview that she could not recall getting any briefings on how to handle classified information or comply with laws governing the preservation of federal records.

Kaine, a U.S. senator from Virginia who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees, told ABC's program "This Week," that the volume of information received by government officials often makes it difficult to know what information has been declared classified.

"There were emails that contained classified information that had been improperly marked. So when she received the email, the material that was classified - which is supposed to be flagged and identified as classified - in many instances was improperly labeled," he said.

Hillary Clinton commanded or otherwise compelled subordinates to move classified data from secure government systems to non-secure non-government systems for purposes of unsecure transmission to non-secure, private systems and recipients. All the time knowing that this was a serious breach of security and that this data was at serious risk of compromise.

And that’s just about how the charge should read.

The main “improper label” was this brain-damaged criminal being allowed to have the label “Secretary of State”. Improper...I’ll say!

Clinton's classified email errors due to 'improper labeling': Kaine

You mean like how Obama was mislabeled as a patriotic Christian who would bring racial healing, world peace, and restore the economy?

How in blazes would HE know? Are they having HIM say it so the best evidence, HRC herself, does not have to go on record?

A possible line of rebuttal to Kaine would be to tell him that the classified content in the Clinton emails under discussion didn’t start out mislabelled. The markings were deliberately stripped as part of transferring the classified content to the unclassified server. In other words, there was no administrative error here; someone and perhaps more than just a single person on the Clinton staff committed a criminal act. It is also clear that these staffers were put into this position by Clinton’s insistence on receiving all her emails on her personal email server.

Kaine would do well to remember that persisting in defending the indefensible will not mark just him as a blindly loyal soldier of the party. It will call into question his own character and integrity and raise questions about his further fitness for office.

"Improper labeling"?

NO!

This Hillary Clinton "lawyer-speak 'disclaimer'"should be her downfall:

That's not a "disclaimer" -- It is a de facto admission of the commission of thousands of crimes.

The classified documents on Hillary's server were not "improperly labeled".

They originally were properly marked with classification markings -- but those classification markings were illegally (and incompletely) DELETED!

The question the FBI should be asking is:

AND -- WHO was responsible for

  1. REMOVING the documents from the secure system?

  2. DELETING both the document-header and portion classification markings from the documents?

  3. PLACING the defaced documents on an unsecure system?

  4. TRANSMITTING the (unmarked, but still classified) documents over the unsecure Internet?.

  5. STORING The above, defaced classified documents on HRC's UNSECURE server?

~~~~~~~~~~~

The FBI is guilty of pursuing the documents on Hillary Clinton's server -- while IGNORING the genuine ESPIONAGE issues of HOW they got there.
