Harkin endorses Hillary Clinton
FBI agents investigating Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email server are seeking to determine who at the State Department passed highly classified information from secure networks to Clinton’s personal account, according to law-enforcement and diplomatic officials and others briefed on the investigation. They stressed, however, that Clinton did not transmit the sensitive information herself and that “nothing in the emails she received makes clear reference to communications intercepts, confidential intelligence methods or any other form of sensitive sourcing”.
Clinton said her overall New College Compact program will cost $350 billion over 10 years, paid for by cutting tax deductions for wealthy Americans.
The ex-senator cited Clinton’s time in the U.S. Senate and as Secretary of State, saying she’d advanced women’s rights and economic opportunity in both roles. The jest was a veiled reference to the fact Clinton aides deleted more than 30,000 emails from her server. In regards to the law, that is a distinction with very little difference.
Last month, the inspector general of the nation’s intelligence community raised concerns that classified information had traversed the email system and sent a counterintelligence referral to the Justice Department. Those questions have yet to be answered.
That’s a reference to the controversy surrounding the private email server she set up while serving as secretary of state for President Barack Obama.
And yet she depended on her private email, [email protected], and on Platte River Networks, a small private Internet server in Colorado, to handle the traffic. “For my wife, Ruth and I, that candidate is Hillary Clinton”, Harkin wrote. They were there for the fundraiser, and to see local, state and national elected officials in the Democratic Party.
Those emails, according to the IG IC, did not contain information that was later classified, but was classified “when originated”.
But the support of local politicians is no guarantee that Clinton will steal the show in Iowa, where a handful of presidential hopefuls will climb on the central soapbox, aiming to woo the throngs of supporters.
Some of Trump’s previous statements on immigration – including ones in which he said Mexico was sending rapists and murderers to the U.S. – have resulted in criticism of the real estate mogul, but he insisted Saturday he’s made no mistakes during his campaign.
Feinstein goes on to declare, “none of the emails alleged to contain classified information include any markings that indicate classified content”.
