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.

Bot Comey made the opposite assumption, or never bothered to find out. That is unbelievable.

Her server in the basement and the idea she wouldn’t know what “classified” means reminded me of this:

Lt. Aldo Raine: You didn’t say the goddamn rendezvous was in a (expletive) basement.
Lt. Archie Hicox: I didn’t know.
Lt. Aldo Raine: You said it was in a tavern.
Lt. Archie Hicox: It is a tavern.
Lt. Aldo Raine: Yeah, in a basement. You know, fightin’ in a basement offers a lot of difficulties. Number one being, you’re fightin’ in a basement!

This confirms that all of the "let's look into revoking her security clearance" stuff is so much nonsense. Comey is basically saying that she didn't have a security clearance.

In other threads, it's been discussed how because this is all executive branch activity, the president is the authority for all security clearances. He doesn't need one - and it appears that neither do his direct appointees.

A rather glaring flaw, if true.

One would think the Secretary of State would consider all her work related correspondence as classified.

Isn’t she the smartest woman in the world? Wasn’t she able to turn $1,000 into $100,000 by reading the Wall Street Journal?

Well, she’s certainly savvy enough to play you for a fool Comey. That’s right, you’re covering for a criminal president and one of his head flackies and now you have egg all over your silly face.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

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

I keep saying that the she-Devil's lackeys have either threatened Comey's family or they will blackmail him.

That is not exactly what Dir. Comey meant....we all know Hillary uses a Smart Phone/Blackberry...etc. but is now fodder for the Trump machine.

.....that remark alone should embarrass Dir. Comey for the rest of his life.

Question: was Clinton allowed to have a lawyer in the room with her,if so, how many....they would NOT have allowed any questions that would incriminate her.

Question #2....it became apparent that Dir. Comey WAS NOT in attendance during Ms. Clintons questioning....which will be beneficial to him down the road.....question #3....IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEGLIGENCE AND CARELESSNESS.....?

Then there is the question of her perjuries and the Clinton Global Initiative and her part in the Syrian debacle.

The stench around Hillary is being picked up by the trade winds and beginning to encircle the earth like heavy ash from a hellish irruption.

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.

If I could send just one FR post to Donald Trump, yours would be the one.
