‘top secret’ emails on Hillary Clinton’s home server

As for Hillary Clinton’s opinion, she insists on never sending or receiving classified information on her personal email account during her term.

Officials in the State Department have asked for additional time to vet the messages because of the recent snowstorm that hit Washington. Friday’s will be the first at top secret level.

As information is unfolding regarding “top secret” emails sent to Hillary Clinton has more concerning questions rather than what the emails consisted of.

According to the Republican National Committee, which flagged the Kerry email in an email to reporters, the batch of Clinton records released on Friday contained 11 emails that the State Department now says contain “Secret” information.

The State Department on Friday denied the release of 22 emails because of “top secret” information.

Clinton’s presidential campaign is demanding that the State Department release the emails and is questioning the secrecy of the messages, saying the emails originated and remained on the State Department’s unclassified system. “It’s certainly possible that for any number of reasons, traffic can be sent that’s not marked appropriately for its classification”, Kirby said. However the agency said Friday that the 22 top-secret messages, in seven email chains, will not be released.

Twenty-two emails from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s home server will be censored in the latest document release because the State Department has designated them “top secret”.

It now seems beyond question that Clinton’s server contained a variety of classified information including some information so sensitive that even now – years after she left her job as secretary of state – it can’t be released.

Emails previously released by the State Department have been redacted because they were deemed to contain information that should not be made public.

“After a process that has been dominated by bureaucratic in-fighting that has too often played out in public view, the loudest and leakiest participants in this interagency dispute have now prevailed in blocking any release of these emails”, it said.

The State Department announcement came hours before the release of 909 more Clinton e-mails. “We feel no differently today”.

As a career public servant Hillary should have realized that any correspondence issued or received by a Secretary of State had the potential of being retroactively labeled top secret.

As to whether they were classified at the time they were sent, the State Department, in the FOIA process, is focusing on whether they need to be classified today. About 55,000 pages from Clinton’s email archive are the subject of multiple lawsuits.

“This appears to be over-classification run amok”.

Clinton is fighting a tough race in Iowa against Vermont Sen.

Mrs Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for the 2016 election, has been under fire for using a private computer server for work emails while in office. Doing so wasn’t expressly forbidden. Judge Andrew Napolitano appeared on America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer last week and said, “It’s hard to believe that the Federal Bureau of Investigation will not recommend indictment of Mrs. Clinton”, adding, “The fact that she failed to safeguard that, that she put it on a non-secured, non-government server after she swore an oath, the same oath that General Petraeus did to secure it makes her a prime candidate for prosecution”.
