Kerry used private email to send Clinton now classified info

More than 1,500 emails on Clinton’s server have been retroactively classified by the State Department. She wanted to be seen as the strong and experienced choice in contrast to upstart Barack Obama, then a senator from IL. Even though her main opponent, U.S. Sen. But I’m certainly not going to weigh in on a decision or in that process in any way.

According to Dailycaller.com, the Clinton records released Friday contained 11 emails containing “secret” information, according to the State Department.

John Kerry sent then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton an email containing classified information from his iPad. I take classified information very seriously. He suggested training Clinton or setting up in her office a standalone computer not connected to the department’s network. “The documents are being upgraded at the request of the Intelligence Community because they contain a category of Top Secret information…” “Anyone with the capacity to read and an understanding of American national security, an 8th grade reading level or above, would understand that the release of this information or the potential breach of a non-secure system presented risk to American national security”.

Indeed, it may be the case that these particular 22 emails weren’t marked as “classified” when Clinton handled them.

Fox News Channel’s chief intelligence correspondent, Catherine Herridge, noted on Friday that “any discussion about marked or unmarked emails is a legal red herring because trained officials – like Clinton – can spot such intelligence without blatant indicators”.

“On its face the Clinton campaign’s statements are mendacious”. Top government officials, most recently former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, have said they believe Clinton’s server was penetrated because foreign governments are relentless hackers.

“The first lady is not a constitutional officer and the position does not require access to classified information”, he said, adding that he struggles to imagine a scenario where it would be appropriate for anyone other than the president to provide such information to their spouse.

The FBI launched a separate probe into Clinton’s server in August in an effort to determine whether any classified information ever passed onto the server while she served as secretary of state.

Grassley is upset over State’s slow and often incomplete responses to FOIA requests for the Clinton emails.

Government officials have faced additional scrutiny of their online communications since it was revealed that Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, used a private email server for work correspondences during her time as secretary of state.

She was finally asked about that in an interview with Stephanopulos last week and offered a brand new defense.
