Top Secret Hillary Clinton Emails Include Drone Talk
It’s common for information previously considered unclassified to be upgraded to classified before being publicly released.
The company is not under investigation, but is cooperating with the FBI, Wells said. The highlight: She is accused of possessing a tube of toothpaste that’s past its expiration date (I could be wrong here, but isn’t toothpaste in prison dispensed to inmates BY the prison?).
Tom Harkin, who endorsed her on Friday, Clinton said “the facts are the same as they have been from the beginning”. She has defended her use of the server, saying she used it as a matter of convenience to limit the number of electronic devices she had to carry.
“It is never raised in my town halls”, she said. A second conversation could have improperly referred to highly classified material, but it also could have reflected information collected independently, U.S. officials who have reviewed the correspondence said.
Most average Americans in her shoes would be facing disgrace, if not prison.
Not so, insisted Team Clinton, which said there is “no evidence there was ever a breach” of security with her email account or server.
Only a fraction of the messages sent by email were stored as “record emails”, according to the report. She turned over all but what she said were personal emails late a year ago. The department is reviewing those emails and has begun the process of releasing them to the public.
Some of those emails were partially redacted, but this one was not, indicating that the State Department did not consider the material it contained to be particularly sensitive.
The issue came to light Tuesday after Sen.
The copy makes reference to classified information, and a Clinton adviser follows up by dancing around a top secret in a way that could possibly be inferred as confirmation, the officials said.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation visit was apparently sparked after the Inspector General for the Intelligence Community made a referral to the Justice Department. Opponents claim that’s an unusual arrangement, even for top brass at the State Department. Clinton said she could talk after she received a fax of a classified Holbrooke memo, also on a secure line.
That revelation is significant because until now, most observers have assumed that Clinton wiped her server clean sometime after October, when the State Department sent a letter requesting that she hand over all of her emails.
Danielle Brian, executive director of the Project On Government Oversight, a government watchdog group, called Clinton’s decision to use personal email “terrible” for national security, transparency and records retention reasons.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker said in last week’s Republican presidential debate that snooping Chinese and Russians might know more about Clinton’s emails than members of Congress.
