State Dept.: Classified Emails on Hillary’s Server Aren’t All ‘Spy Thriller’ Caliber
PJ Tatler ^ | 8-18-2015 | Bridget Johnson

The State Department spokesman told reporters Monday that Hillary Clinton’s confidential emails aren’t necessarily “spy thriller” level classification, and insisted that 63 classified emails out of sampling of 3,000 off her private server so far is “a pretty small percentage.”

More than 300 have been pulled by intelligence community reviewers for additional scrutiny.

(snip) Kirby added that “there’s a lot of work left to do, and I can assure you that there will be additional upgrades” to classified status “over time. It’s just a mathematical fact.”

“And what I think you’re seeing here is testament to the fact that we’re taking this very seriously, and we’re doing it deliberately and in a measured way, and we’re not going to shy away from making an upgrade recommendation if that’s, in fact, what has to happen,” he said.

I strongly believe that the professional originator of the material DID mark it properly, but that those markings were removed by a Hillary staffer before re-transmittal to her unsecured server. As SecState, neither she nor her staff members had the authority to remove the classifications determined by the originator, which may have revealed “means and methods”.

Based on personal experience, the technical personnel who generated the data DID mark it appropriately. Therefore, one or more of Hillary’s staff members are guilty of removing the identifying marks.

According to Fox News this morning, Clinton, Et al, knew that this information was of a sensitive nature and was trying to wordsmith it in the emails. However they did not provide any examples.

But if she personally sent something sensitive she made from scratch. she could have left those markings off, as well. Heck, you don’t need to mark something as confidential, you are expected to either not send it or send it via an encrypted method (from knowledge at a different federal agency).

Which would imply she is seriously too incompetent to be the Commander-in-Chief. But then, Benghazi already proved that.... or was the death of the ambassador intentional? Unfortunately, we won’t know the answer to that question this side of the Second Coming.

Yeah, and for many weeks, that simple insight had not been broached by the MSM.

That’s because the MSM looks for ways to protect liberals and tear down conservatives.

It makes my blood boil.
