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.

I was expected and required to understand classified material handling, as a 21 year old Private E2.

Why do I get reminded of the SNL skit for the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer? He (or she in this case) doesn’t understand why the ball of fire rises in the sky each day and is not sophisticate enough to understand your strange markings signifying the information is classified

It’s hard to know what that small letter “c” stands for.

yep, the hag is dumb like a fox, she plays the law like a fiddle to her favor and Comey is a liar, just like the hag and the obozo

She was “technically sophisticated” enough to have private, unsecure email servers set up on which she conducted government business. Why isn’t she being indicted for having the private email system in the first place? She and Bill both knew that was wrong.

Did you forget that the media and other libtard fools always lectured us that Hillary was “The Smartest Woman On Earth” until Moochie Obama stomped onto the scene?

Then she’s certainly not ‘sophisticated’ enough to be president.

Sorry, Comey, you can’t get the toothpaste back in the tube.

But this is a gift to the Trump campaign (unintentional I’m sure,but still). How is she going to defend herself against accusations that she is too unsophisticated to handle and understand classification rules?

Yes I do understand all that and I lied to Congress and the media and everyone else....

Not a very good position.

This here means “classified “. See it? it says “classified “ can you understand that?

He’s taking advantage of the fact that some people think anything on a computer screen requires extensive training to understand.

It's one thing to have that opinion if you are Hillary's defense attorney, but for a FBI director too whim it is obstruction of justice.

Comey's comments today

According to Comey, Rush had it right in the parody Clinton ‘s brain is jello.

Hillary is not incompetent, nor stupid. She is a tyrant in waiting.

That can’t be, we’ve been assured for years that “she’s the smartest woman in the world”.
