Top secret Clinton emails include drone talk

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. Her presidential campaign made that acknowledgment on Tuesday as part of what it said was an effort to cooperate with a federal inquiry into the security of Clinton’s email setup. Her remarks came amid a federal investigation into the use of the private server and whether classified information was emailed from her private account.

“It depends on what kind of tools they used“, Hayes said. “I’m not sure they completely understand the credibility they are losing, by the second”, said one Democratic strategist, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. But since she was Secretary of State and obviously had to be privy to certain pieces of information, you couldn’t very well leave her out of the e-mail loop.

“The official said doing so would “constitute a felony, in and of itself”. While a secret program, it is well-known and often reported on. Several officials, however, described this claim as tenuous.

The officials say that the emails also include a separate conversation that could point back to highly classified material in an improper manner or could merely reflect information collected independently.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, wrote Kendall in late July to inquire about what precautions were taken to secure the thumb drive. The State Department disputes that the emails were classified at that time. But her lackluster campaign beset with roiling scandal, plus worrisome favorability ratings and weak head-to-head numbers, is causing some heartburn on Team Blue. Clinton says she permanently deleted about half, as they were personal. Her decision as secretary of state to set up an independent email server outside government channels might have been understandable in some ways as a product of her desire to keep her business under her control and out of the hands of those whom she is convinced are out to get her, and who in fact are. The department has been making those public as they are reviewed and scrubbed of any sensitive data.

The hypocrisy in this case is also pretty rich, because the use of outside email accounts is a pretty standard and open secret in government at nearly all levels, from local to national.

Judicial Watch criticized the filing in a statement, saying it believes that Clinton is withholding emails. Only recently has the department begun automatically archiving the records of dozens of senior officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry. O’Malley said. “And you expect all of your candidates for president to do question-and-answer, otherwise it doesn’t make any sense to offer your candidacy for president”.

Whether or not Mrs. Clinton broke the law depends on whether she herself sent e-Mails containing classified information, recognized information in her inbox that she knew to be classified, or should have realized that information sent to her was obtained from a classified source.

“Until you change the policies of Barack Obama, we’re never going to grow this economy”.
