Report: Top secret Clinton emails covered drones
The Hill ^ | August 14, 2015 | Jesse Byrnes

The two “top secret" emails under review from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private server include discussion of an article about a U.S. drone operation, the Associated Press reported Friday.

While the U.S. drone program has been widely reported on, the article references classified information and a Clinton adviser follows up "in a way that could possibly be inferred as confirmation," the AP said, citing intelligence officials.

Officials offered the AP different accounts of the second email, saying it could improperly acknowledge classified information or merely show that different individuals separately got the same information.

Clinton, now a Democratic presidential candidate, earlier this week said her aides were handing over her private email server and a backup thumb drive to the Justice Department.

That news came hours after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent a memo to a handful of lawmakers confirming that the inspector general for the intelligence community found four "highly classified" emails out of a batch of 40.

Grassley said that two of the emails were "top secret." Clinton has turned over roughly 30,000 emails in all, and her campaign maintained this week that she did not personally send or receive any emails with classified information, though "some emails that weren't secret at the time she sent or received them might be secret now."

"My concerns are bigger than Hillary Clinton," Grassley, the Senate Judiciary chairman, said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"They deal with whether or not our national security is going to be preserved and also the extent to which classified information should only be seen by people who have clearance to do that, and it's also an issue of whether or not the laws are going to be abided by," he added.

" I suspect she’s a traitor"

Yep, she was trading in the highest secrets of the nation for personal gain.

I suspect the only reason she's not in Gitmo is because the Obama Admin knew about it all along and they need time to scrub all systems and records of her traitorous activities that were demonstrably known by the Obama admin.

Talked to a customer of mine about that Iranian drone capture. He was a pilot for the drones out in Nevada. Said it was impossible for the drone to be captured that way.

It was possible for the drone to be captured in other ways, and an entitled idiot talking in a non-secure system about drones has high potential to put them at greater risk.
