The FBI went to bat for Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, saying that handling emails with classified information even when its marked isnt enough to prove she had knowledge or intent to break the law.
In a letter to congressional investigators, the FBIs 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 thats 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.

The markings are not and never have been the issue. As a classifying Authority, she had the Authority to determine that a document contained classified information, and Mark it as such.
Not only that she had the responsibility and allegedly the training to recognize when a document containing classified information. It doesn’t matter whether a document was marked secret, top secret, or any other clearances which I will not even name here.
It’s all very simple. She and her political hacks already destroyed over 30,000 emails. We have her word, which we know is worth absolutely nothing thatv there was no classified information in those 30,000 destroyed emails.
They are trying to keep our eyes off the ball in this case. She illegally use a private server, illegally destroyed information under subpoena, illegally destroyed information that was government property because at some point in its transmission, government computers, salaried employees were used in the creation, transmission or reception of these emails.
Think of the bottom line. They had a chance to get rid of all the incriminating evidence and they still missed some of it. Imagine how much was on the 30000 emails they destroyed.
And of course we are all asked to believe these 30000 miles only concerned Chelsea’s wedding and other inconsequential items.
Compared to her, Richard Nixon was an amateur.
Maybe Comey is another cofounder of ISIS.
That’s the key question!
Someone could have typed it and sanitized it. However, having that “(C)” show up is an obvious sign that’s not what happened every time.
The markngs are VERY conclusive in the military world.
But then again we have far superior leadership, morals, and yes, IQ in the military than that collection of clowns in the State Department.
Yup, it’s true.
I suppose the dumbnuts and dishonest turds running the FBI thought the (C) stood for “Copyright”
They don't hire some information guru with a special stamp who's locked in a copier room trained to stamp anything he sees that is sensitive!
HRC is the one who is supposed to know classified material based on it's content!!!! If not, she's irresponsible, negligent, felonious, treasonous, and a real $hit for brains.
I don't know ANYONE who ever saw a classified document who was ever confused about what was classified and what was not.
ML/NJ
So when she instructed a State department worker to strip the headers off of material and send the body of it unmarked to her over unsecured channels, that was legal?
Hillary should be in jail instead of running for President of the United States.
I guess having an illegal servHer set up in the home is a non factor to the back pocket FBI.
Silly Hilly just thought the (C) stamped beside a paragraph was meant to draw her attention to that paragraph. The (C) was for ‘Clinton’, of course! An easy mistake that ANY Clinton could make! After all, BJ had a different understanding of the word ‘is’ than anyone else on the planet, so such mistakes are understandable! How could ANYONE doubt her integrity, or his?
</ENORMOUS SARC!>
Lock the bitch up, try her, then crucify her (like with a cross).
This woman can break any laws she wants and then gives a middle finger to us all and not a frigging peep from the media or the DOJ.
You have to think like a Clinton.
In a banana republic we don't really have laws.
They're more like guidelines. Savvy?
Ah, the fix is finally in.
Amazing, we have the FBI acting as the Mob Lawyers for Hillary Clinton
The scope was deliberately narrow, one that required intent for recommendation to prosecute.
Yes.
How many? 1 million? More?
