No Classified Emails by Clinton? Some Experts Are Skeptical

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.”

He hates the Clintons and as we know with Barry he is a little child

Hopefully they can destroy each other. Like at the end of Rocky I, when Rock and Apollo Creed hit each other simultaneously and the shot was frozen.

So someone at the district office allocates the ip addresses to the Libraries....

That means that someone in the “govt office” IT department knew what was going on and assigned the IP address to the Clintons thereby not following protocol.

The scary thing is that this government office gives legitimacy to a possible phishing site or if the Clintons server is hacked a possible direct link into other secured government servers and networks.

It is one thing to have an independent email server and another, a server that is connected into the main backbone of secret and top secret government networks. Maybe they isolated the Clinton's server?

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

I think the NYT is joined by many on the left, who simply do not want to go down the Hillary road.

Aside from political philosophy, she is not an attractive candidate. And they want to win.

So if she is going to be an embarrassment, then they want to get it over.

They would just as soon help to get rid of her, and move on to picking Warren, O’Malley, or somebody else.

Hillary Clinton is simply not on a par with Bill Clinton, when it comes to verbal agility, Teflon coating, etc.
