As a private citizen, Sidney Blumenthal had no power to assign a classification level to that email.
The information in that email may not be considered classified by the State Department.
It’s hard to say since it’s not complete, and we don’t know where that information came from.
But I have no doubt at all that Hillary had true classified information and documents passed through her email account, at levels far above Confidential, but I doubt that Blumenthal email, even if totally authentic, is the smoking gun that will put Hillary behind bars.
“As a private citizen, Sidney Blumenthal had no power to assign a classification level to that email.”
For sure... Blumenthal certainly isn’t a classification authority. I took the example as a relayed message.
I too have no doubt Hillary transmitted or received classified info. The dems would like us to believe she never transmitted or received a single sensitive or classified email during a tumultuous four-year stint, which included the suck-up to Russia, the failed Iranian revolution, the war on Libya, the Benghazi slaughter, the aftermath of the bin Laden takedown, relations with European nations, the failed attempt at a SOFA agreement with Iraq, the overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt, travel plans (remembering how she’s “the most traveled SOS ever”), or ambassadorial/staff movements.
Either Hillary is lying through her horse teeth, or she’s proven herself worthless as ice for sale in the Antarctic winter.
