On Thursdays broadcast of CNN Newsroom, CNN Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr reported that Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons statement about the time it takes to launch nuclear weapons is extremely classified, and while there is a lot of information available to public on what the process is for launching nuclear weapons, if you know information to be classified, and youre a government official, even if its in the open source, even if its on the Internet, you are not supposed to disclose it.
She further stated, the bottom line is, the US military, not especially thrilled to be discussing in precise detail what it takes to launch nuclear weapons.

Problem is, anyone that actually does know cannot legally confirm/deny. It doesn't matter if classified information is posted publicly. If you have a clearance, you can not confirm or deny.
Without confirmation by someone in a position to know, exposed classified information is simply speculation. Our enemies don't know if it is real or not.
There is a wealth of classified information available in the open on the internet. Problem (for our enemies) is, there also a much greater amount of information that seems reasonable but is bogus. One place says the number is 1 minute, another 4, yet another 10... Which is right? Along comes some {expletive} like Hillary Clinton and says 4... Now, she is, or was, in a position to actually know. Her information is credible. Well, as credible as anything from a lying POS like her is.
That's why this is a big deal. No-one cares if you or most anyone else shouts 4 minutes from the rooftops. But if someone who actually knows what the number is mentions it, that is a big deal. That is a leak and a security breach that should be investigated and potentially prosecuted.
Even if it has been in an open source, it still remains classified!
The Bitch revealed classified information in an attempt to make herself looked learned and capable, and in reality, showed that SHE IS A PROVEN SECURITY RISK!
Yeah, I know, all of your nuanced and sophisticated concern trolls will object to me yelling, but the facts are the facts!
She violated national security in the third debate!
I completely agree with you regarding safeguarding national security secrets.
If she were not HRC, anybody else would NEVER have passed a security clearance background check with anything approaching her character issues and conflicts of interest.
Democrats repeatedly demonstrate there are delusional Marxists who care not a thing about preserving our republic.
Just look at how Biden and Obola deliberately sacrificed Seal team 6 to the Taliban.
Completely treasonous.
No concern trolling from me.

Completely treasonous evil.
Arrest is inadequate
Well, if you check out the “military brass” who’s complaining about this .. I bet you’d find out most of them are DemocRATS. And .. what do they know ..??????? Some of them are willing to sell us out.
and here you are again .. what is your problem this time ..??
Well .. I don’t know what it is .. but Hillary Clinton just committed TREASON .. as far as I’m concerned, for even toying with that kind of information.
I thought she did it to try to show she knew something Trump didn’t know .. but today, a great General said this: I don’t even know that information .. because I don’t have any need to know .. and neither does Hillary.
don’t try to start something with me .. I’ve never been to daily kos .. whatever the hell that is .. but evidently you know it quite well .. according to some friends.
Good bye
