No Classified Emails by Clinton? Some Experts Are Skeptical
New York Times ^ | March 11, 2015 | SCOTT SHANE

WASHINGTON — Anyone who has tried to pry information from the federal government may have been surprised on Tuesday by Hillary Rodham Clinton’s assertion that in all her emails in four years as secretary of state she never strayed into the classified realm.

After all, a consensus of both Republicans and Democrats for many years has been that the government routinely overclassifies information, reflexively stamping “secret” on mountains of documents with marginally sensitive content.

snip A former senior State Department official who served before the Obama administration said that while it was hard to be certain, it seemed unlikely that classified information could be kept out of the more than 30,000 emails that Mrs. Clinton’s staff identified as involving government business.

“I would assume that more than 50 percent of what the secretary of state dealt with was classified,” said the former official, who would speak only on the condition of anonymity because he did not want to seem ungracious to Mrs. Clinton. “Was every single email of the secretary of state completely unclassified? Maybe, but it’s hard to imagine.”

Who would have thought that the NYT would actually push back? Even a little.

Someone on the radio this morning played Bill’s denial simultaneously with Hillary’s.

The cadence was even the same.

May be she’s telling the truth and their hiding the fact that she couldn’t pass the background check for a security clearance...

Ask yourself how Hillary managed her INCOMING Email in a way that guaranteed none of it was classified. That would be virtually impossible. If you don't believe me just ask Sidney Blumenthal.

What is the upside for Obama with Hillary under the bus? (Beyond a third term for Obama?)

It all depends upon what the meaning of Classified is.
She maybe technically correct on Classified but not on Confidential email.

That’s probably why the cadence was the same,

both she and Bill had the same adviser and coach.

Interesting that the ip address for the server wasn't at her home but somewhere in New York City. Whats up with that?

Is the whole “the server is at Hillary's home” a ruse?

Just ask your libtard coworker, neighbor, bar-mate if they would have trusted “Darth Vader” Cheney to have a private home-brew email server in his home to avoid congressional oversight! ...believe he only delete personal emails?

well.... if Hillary wrote it on her server, wasn’t it by definition unclassified or no longer classified?

As boss, isn’t she the ultimate State Department arbiter of what is and is not Classified?

When those fuddy duddies at DOD pass her info, don’t they know she is the judge?

"...Some Experts Are Skeptical"

I'm sure ALL experts are skeptical but maybe more than a few reporters are 'hopeful'...

Clinton's Email Server Was Unencrypted For Three Months, Researchers Say

SHE NEVER LETS ANYTHING INTERFERE W/ HER POLITICAL AMBITIONS--Hillary started her UN email presser w/ her well-rehearsed campaign theme--about sucking-up to the woman's vote.

WATCHING THE CLINTONS OPERATE IS A LESSON IN WHAT BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS CALL "NARCISSTIC IMMUNITY"--- They operate under the mantle of "narcisstic immunity"---that they are so good, so tolerant, so much more compassionate than us peons, that they can even operate above the law---nothing can touch them.

Every move the Clintons make is laser-focused on political "survival". The Clintons have the survival instincts of a cockroach---once they infest your domain---its almost impossible to get rid of them.

They are ultimately driven by greed-----salivating to get back into office....thoughts of adding billions to their massive holdings dancing in their greedy heads.

So, Hillary did not use secure government e-mail at all.

She used only the Clinton e-mail domain.

On it, there was never any classified material, sent or received.

As America’s Secretary of State, then, Hillary Clinton did nothing but fly around and send and receive innocuous e-mails?

If classified material had to be discussed, this was done on the phone, with no documents? Snail mail?

Just doesn’t add up.

Hillary's UN press conference was carefully orchestrated to save her sorry behind. Reportedly, her staff wrote down all her answers in that binder she kept reading from...... to manipulate observers.

And she had Big Mama leading her in past Picasso's legendary painting, "Guernica" - his polemic against war.

At the end, Hillary looked like a befuddled first-grader who can't find the exit---eager to get home to mommy.

Big Mama effectively ended it for her, by taking hold of her binder, and leading her out.
