Clinton To Aide: If Fax Fails, “Send Nonsecure” With “No Identifying Heading”

In fact, Clinton and her staff would send classified information over the server, according to The Federalist.

“Dozens of senior officials throughout the Department, including members of Secretary Clinton’s immediate staff, exchanged emails with the Secretary using the personal accounts she used to conduct official business”, the investigation concluded. Had VSA obtained the emails and call logs, they would have found that Clinton sent one email to her daughter as the Benghazi attack was still occurring to state that an “Al Queda-like [sic] group” was behind the attack.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee released a scathing statement Friday, calling on Hillary Clinton to “come clean” after the State Department released an email in which she asked an aide to send information on a non-secure system after attempts to send the document securely failed.

Much of the email, including its subject line, were redacted, making it hard to discern the topic and full context of the document. “They’re working on it”.

Sullivan reported “issues sending secure fax”, prompting Clinton to reply that that if they couldn’t send it by fax, they should “turn it into nonpaper w/no identifying heading and send nonsecure”. “This explanation of what Hillary meant is logical and consistent with ordinary English usage”. Kirby also said no hard copy of the talking points were ever found and therefore he has no way of knowing if any of that material was actually classified. In the State Department, the term “non-paper” appears to have a pretty specific meaning. That’s not clear, but it would be why it was to be sent by classified fax.

Nonpaper is a term that refers to an informal document without official markings like letterhead or logos and that is not saved for records. It can be just general guidance for a meeting, or in other contexts a set of notes which can be left with the foreign interlocutor as an unofficial memo. Seems like the “accident” and “it wasn’t marked classified” defense is gone now.

“I’m not going to speculate about whether the document being discussed was classified”, the official said.

In new #Clintonemail, Clinton says she’s “surprised” to see staffer using private email “if he is at State”. “I was surprised that he used personal email account if he is at State”, Clinton wrote back on February 27, 2011.

Clinton has been under fire for months for exclusively using personal email routed through a private server while serving as the nation’s top diplomat. Why is it just now being released?

While Hillary Clinton rallied Democrats out West this week, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, carried her campaign’s message through Iowa.

“It has been incredibly disheartening for the approximately four million of us who hold security clearances to see the rather sloppy (if not illegal) way in which Secretary Clinton and her aides handled classified information during their time at State”, Moss told The Daily Caller.

Foggy Bottom offered no explanation as to why the release was delayed from Thursday evening, as originally scheduled, to the dead of night on Friday. In a briefing with reporters, he attributed December’s delay to a “variety of reasons”, including the holidays. All but one of those documents contained material later determined to be “confidential” level, and one was labeled “secret”.
