FBI defends Clinton handling of classified material, says markings weren’t conclusive
Washington Times ^ | 8/16/16 | Stephen Dinan

The FBI went to bat for Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, saying that handling emails with classified information — even when it’s marked — isn’t enough to prove she had “knowledge or intent” to break the law.

In a letter to congressional investigators, the FBI’s chief liaison to Capitol Hill said Mrs. Clinton did handle three messages with a “(C)” mark next to paragraphs, “ostensibly indicating” the following information as classified. But Jason V. Herring said that’s not enough to show she was negligent.

Mr. Herring also questioned whether the laws against handling classified material in a “grossly negligent” way would hold up in court, saying the FBI has long been suspect.

“The fact that Secretary Clinton received emails containing ‘(C)’ portion markings is not clear evidence of knowledge or intent,” Mr. Herring said in a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, a Republican, and Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the ranking Democrat.

Mr. Chaffetz on Monday had sent a letter laying out four different areas where he said Mrs. Clinton may have lied to Congress and calling for her to face perjury charges, including over the “(C)” markings.

According to the head of the FBI, there doesn't have to be any "markings".

So. How did Secret data get off of a SIPRnet account and get put onto an unclassified and unsecure email system? Who is responsible for that felony (mishandling of classified material)?

Secretary of State. All comms should be considered by default highly classified.

Wow. SCORES of classified emails that weren't marked in any way that passed through the hands of our Secretary of State via a private unsecured server, of ALL people?

We're SCREWED.

Is that statement because Bill came out the other day and said that they ‘c’ was a ‘call’ and not ‘classified’???? ROFL...

We won’t get anything done until Trump and Pence take over the White House and get these cockroaches OUT!!!

So the sailor who photographed the nuclear sub USS Alexandria engine room should not be prosecuted, because the six photos on his phone did not have a (C) and the prosecutors have not proven intent?

The FBI is a crooked as the IRS, TSA, DOJ, DOE, WH, etc.

Lost is the fact it was a violation of her job to have ANY emails on an unsecured “private server” in the first place.

Next up: FBI’s defense of the Clinton Foundation. “It may look suspicious, but there’s no proof they were using it as a tax advantaged slush fund to trade influence. No prosecutor would... (you get the idea)”

My husband had a top secret clearance in the army 45 years ago, working in cryptograph. He said even way back then they knew everything was classified. No way Hillary didn’t know everything she sent or received should be handled as such.

What a traitor. I suppose he likes to continue to breathe, too; in which case add “coward”.

If it was special access stuff it was on an entirely different and more highly classified system.

OK , how about her own server outside of government to do government business so no one would know about her pay to play Clinton Foundation business

Pure, unadulterated horseshit of the highest order. She was a senior member of the National Security Council with Original Classification Authority and every employee of the FBI, including Jim Comey, knows it. We have descended into a level of corruption that makes Mexico look democratic.
