FBI’s Comey: Hillary Clinton not 'sophisticated enough' to understand classified markings
Washington Times ^ | July 7, 2016 | Stephen Dinan

FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may not have been "sophisticated enough" to understand the classified markings on emails she sent and received, which explains why did didn't know she was breaking the letter of the law.

Under intense questioning from Republicans, Mr. Comey said Mrs. Clinton’s public explanations of her behavior were not true. But he said his investigators couldn’t find evidence that Mrs. Clinton intended to break the law, which he said is the key to making a criminal case.

Democrats praised Mr. Comey for his findings, and blasted the GOP for demanding he testify in the first place.

"Today's hearing is political theater," said Rep. Gerry Connolly, Virginia Democrat.

What are the chances she was a United States Senator and Secretary of State, and they NEVER explained classified markings to her???

Wouldn’t the chances of that be zero? Wouldn’t being told that stuff be at least some part of getting a security clearance?

You always know when you have caught the Clinton's dead to rights on something so reckless, so blatant and so damaging that it could destroy them and take down the entire Democrat Party and maybe the US Government.

It's when the two most egotistical and arrogant politicians in America use their patented. “ aw, shucks, I'm just an unsophisticated, stupid victim of my own incompetence" defense.

If Trump is elected one of his first acts should be to fire Comey.

I have a theory: Remember all those FBI files Hitlery stole? I wonder if she has dirt on Lynch and Comey.

Another synthetic bifurcated bull**it excuse that is not part of the 18 USC 793. Comey now has to resign for even thinking about saying such a thing. She is sophisticated enough to know not to put TS material she intends to sell off on a government server but not enough for this piece of nonsense? This is beyond flaming crap.

Even the common ghetto ratchet understands information classification when they teach their offspring “Snitches get stiches”.

The smartest woman in the world can’t follow simple directions

I’ve seen those markings. They are NOT hard to understand, unless you do not read and comprehend English

I’m in awe of Comey’s responses. As in aww, give me a frikin’ break!

I don't get all this praise of Comey in the hearings. Comey should be fired or he should resign. Either you enforce the rules of law, or you're incompetent to hold the post and you move aside. People have been jailed for same crimes of lesser severity than Hillary. Comey made a mockery of the FBI, get rid of him. Now!

Comey should resign. He has had all his positions in government and corporate because he understands what the establishment/globalists expect of him and he goes along.

He is either blackmailed, bribed or both. It’s obvious now.

"FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may not have been "sophisticated enough" to understand the classified markings on emails she sent and received, which explains why did didn't know she was breaking the letter of the law."

And here I thought his excuse for not recommending charges was because "no reasonable prosecutor" would proceed. Now he's making a child's excuse for her (I'm just a kid)?

Hillary, the supposedly smartest woman in the World with all her experience in politics after being the Co-president in the WH, a Senator, and Secretary of State is "unsophisticated"? Just F***ing WOW! Someone has definitely threatened or bribed Director Comey. There is no longer any doubt. I'm truly aghast!

BTW, don't such high official sign a document about classified materials. I've read such. Is that wrong?

It's been said before: It is not necessary to establish intent in order to bring a conviction for gross negligence. (Even though there were some intentional acts. And now, lying to Congress. It's a whole new ballgame. Congress refers for the FBI to start a new investigation, and this time the Republicans call the shots.)

Hillary is a Yale educated Lawyer

She was a member of the Nixon investigation (where she was fired for ethics violations)

She was first Lady of Arkansas

She was a Partner in the Rose Law Firm

She was First Lady and self proclaimed Co-President of the United States for 8 years.

She was self proclaimed "Smartest Woman In The World" for 8 years.

She was a US Senator who sat on the Senate Defense Committee dealing with secret information for 8 years

She was Sec of State for 4 years

She it too unsophisticated to recognize classified information.

Yeah, right

If she signed the required document that she had training in handling security, then she’s ‘sophisticated’ enough! If she didn’t sign that document, SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN SOS!
