Clinton defends classified material during Fox town hall
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/7/16 | Ariel Cohen

Posted on 03/07/2016 7:07:06 PM PST by markomalley

Hillary Clinton defended her use of a private e-mail server when pressed on her knowledge of the issue during her first appearance on Fox News in the past two years.

"There's misinformation going on around here. Let me start with the basic facts. I have said, it wasn't the best choice to use a personal e-mail. It was a mistake, however, I am not alone in that. Many people in the government past and current have, on occasion or as a practice, do the same. Nothing I sent was marked classified or that I received was marked classified," Clinton affirmed during the Fox News Democratic Town Hall in Detroit on Monday evening.

Clinton has mostly been able to skirt talking about the FBI investigation of her private server during previous Democratic town halls and debates this primary cycle, but Bret Baier pressed the former secretary of state on the specific of the issue, comparing Clinton's prior claims to current knowledge.

Although the Sate Department has redacted and declare 2,101 of Clinton's emails as "classified," 44 as "secret" and 22 as "top secret" Clinton insisted that her prior statement that there was no classified information on her e-mail server.

In the past, Clinton has also justified her actions based on other in the government. Most recently Clinton said she will release the transcripts of her Wall Street speeches. On Monday, Clinton said that she has been mistreated for her personal e-mails, since former Secretary of State Colin Powell had a similar e-mail set up.

"Colin Powell's e-mails were retroactively classified for more than 10 years ago as he said, that was an absurdity. I cannot agree more," Clinton said, adding, "Once the American people see it, they will know how absurd this is. Colin Powell and I are exactly on the same page."

On Tuesday voters in Michigan will vote in the democrat primary. Clinton currently leads Sanders in the state 55-42 percent according to the latest polling.

Were I to be the Secretary of State my assumption would be pretty much EVERYTHING emailed by me in an official capacity would be regarded as Top Secret.

Colin Powell didn’t have a similar email set-up.

It wasn't a mistake. It was a deliberate, planned way of hiding information from government oversight. Hillary is a cheat and a liar, a promoter of her low life husband...

And she could care less about anyone. It's all about Hillary and always has been.

Just a reminder...If she wasn't married to Bubba, we'd all be going..."Hillary who?"

And if you don’t know, assume it’s classified until you check the Classification Guide for that Project/Subject.

“Hey, Vladimir Putin! I thought you might like to see a list of everyone on the CIA payroll who is currently operating within Russia. I’ve enclosed the list, just because I could. And don’t worry: the list isn’t classified, because I carefully removed the part which said “CLASSIFIED” at the top and bottom of each page. Have a great day!”

Imagine customs stops you for having coccaine in your bag:

"Should you pursue this, officers, I think I should tell you you'll soon feel very stupid --you can clearly see in NO WAY does my bag bear 'coccaine' markings..."

Yeah, just try THAT one out.

This isn't so very different.

Money quote. Can’t take Hillary down they all fall down. Barky can’t have his shadow government exposed.

Nothing I sent was marked classified or that I received was marked classified

Repeating that same old lie. Material doesn't have to be marked classified in order to be classified. When her aids cut and pasted classified satellite images into an email that wasn't marked classified, that doesn't change the fact that the contents were still classified.

You need to ask her if they were marked “Secret” or “Top Secret” She’s playing word games by saying they’re not “Marked Classified” since none of them are marked classified

She stated nothing was marked classified on her server, but there is evidence that she instructed we underlings to remove the designation prior to sending it.

Additionally, Colin Powell, and I’m are others, maitained a private email account for personal messages. They also maintained a .gov email for classified communications. Hillary had a server in her house and used it exclusively.

people are asking the wrong questions.
the questions should be —>

1) HRC, did you hit the send button,
when the contained-info was sensitive enough
that you thought it should be classified

2) HRC, did you hit the send button,
when you saw, or should have seen, info that appeared to be
a ‘copy-and-pasted’ portion of a classified document

Here we go again -— What the definition of “is” is. “I never sent anything marked ‘CLASSIFIED’ or received anything marked ‘CLASSIFIED’.” Nothing classified is marked “CLASSIFIED”; it is marked “SECRET”, “TOP SECRET”, etc. That female POS knows exactly what she is saying to spin this. The average U.S. citizen does not know how classified documents are marked and thus can be mislead.
