Hillary ‘surprised’ by staffer using personal email

In a June 2011 email, Clinton appears to instruct a top adviser, Jake Sullivan, how to send secure information – talking points that have since been redacted by the State Department – in a “nonsecure” manner.

Although the State Department said a review showed the document never was sent to Clinton by email, and instead apparently by secure fax, after all, Republicans quickly jumped on the passage.

“While the volume of State Freedom of Information Act requests has tripled since 2008, our resources to respond have not kept pace”, State Department John Kirby said in a statement to ABC News.

He also pointed out that it is not uncommon for unclassified documents to be created, edited and shared on a classified system.

Clinton would also have had no way of knowing whether classified information was included in the talking points when she ordered Sullivan to strip the document of its markings and to send away. It wasn’t clear if any information in the document was classified to begin with.

The State Department produced “inaccurate and incomplete” responses to public records requests while Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton led the department, including its inability to find documents showing she used a private email account for official business, the agency’s watchdog reported Thursday. That’s an order to violate the laws handling classified material.

Another e-mail exchange showed Clinton wasn’t above bending the rules.

Clinton has yet to answer in detail how her homemade server was monitored for intrusions, saying only it contained “numerous safeguards”.

“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. The revelation set off a firestorm of criticism and prompted an FBI investigation into whether Clinton jeopardized classified information.

The State Department finally got around to dumping a few thousand more of Hillary Clinton’s emails Friday, and there are at least a couple of real doozies.

Fox News reports that sixty-six of those e-mails were upgraded to “Confidential”, the lowest level of classification, though they were not deemed so at the time they were sent.

Clinton: I didn’t get the TPs yet. Now, the total number of classified emails found on Clinton’s personal server has increased to 1,340. “There are other ways it could have found its way to her for her use”. As far back as September 2010, however, senior advisor Philippe Reines cautioned Clinton against opposing Obama on the troublesome topic of the so-called “Ground Zero mosque”. “There will be a day you need to publicly disagree with him, but that day is not Wed, Sep 8, 2010 and that issue is not the mosque”.
