More than 1,200 Clinton emails now deemed classified
Politico ^ | 12/31/15 | Rachel Bade, Josh Gerstein

Posted on 01/01/2016 10:58:31 AM PST by Signalman

More than 1,200 emails from Hillary Clinton's private server during her time at the State Department have now been deemed classified, after the agency publicly released its eighth batch of the messages late Thursday. The agency released roughly 5,500 more pages of emails from the private email account that Clinton exclusively used during her four years at Foggy Bottom, with an additional 275 messages now upgraded to classified, bringing the total number of retroactively classified emails that moved through Clinton's unsecured server to 1,274.

While most of those were elevated to the "confidential" level, according to a State Department official, two in the most recent batch were upgraded to the "Secret" level, a more sensitive classification for issues that affect national security. Clinton, after the scandal about her use of private email broke in March, initially said that there was no classified material on her email account. She has since stressed that she did not send any classified information and that no messages she sent or received were marked classified at the time. The State Department also said on Thursday that it fell short of its court-ordered goal of releasing 43,000 pages of the trove by the end of the year.

Anyone else in who had done this would have had, at the very least, their security revoked (probably lifetime revocation).

Doesn't mean a damn thing. Hillary will run for Presidency and nothing will or can stop her. She is under the communists Democratic umbrella and will never be convicted of anything. America is now a dictatorship under communists control of King Obama and his Administration. America is finished.

The email classification is of no importance.

It’s the contents she’s intent on concealing.

That’s on a private non-secured server, backed up to the Cloud. Why bother? The only people who haven’t read them is the American public.

Of course. It’s the content that is what makes the emails classified.

And since all of these were on an unsecured server, there is a very good chance that the Russians and/or the Chicoms have them too.

You still don't get it.

She's not going down for breaking some obscure rule nobody knows or cares about.

She (and the other two) are going down for racketeering, tax evasion, and bribery under the guise of a charitable foundation.

THAT is what they're hiding - not rule violations.

What people should be realizing from this fiasco is how much power the media and the beltway society have over our congress, our constitution and the rule of law.

The question to ask is; "how have these people managed to become lawless and unaccountable?"

The point to be very worried about is: "Why do over 50 million Americans believe Hillary Clinton should be president?"

Obviously Politico, a Hillary orifice, wants to give her cover by repeating this crap that the 1200 emails were classified AFTER the fact. Small problem: those messages SHOULD HAVE BEEN classified before Hillary broadcast them out an unsecured, secretly operated server. As Secretary of State, it was Hillary’s responsibility to know what information is and is not inherently secret, and treating it accordingly. And it does not work for Hillary Clinton to claim that the government’s secrecy standards are just too rigorous, when she is notoriously obsessed with secrecy for her own affairs. This is an EPIC FAILURE for Hillary, and Politico spin can’t change that fact.

But here’s what needs to see the light of day: How many of these 1200 emails contain content stripped out of other documents that WERE already classified as Secret, Top Secret, NoForn, etc.? Wouldn’t it be sort of BIG DEAL if Hillary, Cheryl Mils, Huma Abedin, and her other minions engaged deliberately evaded classification labels as part of her obsession with personal secrecy, hiding graft, etc.?

You are 100% correct on the issue. However, they are not going down on anything. They have been allowed to amend tax docs that were fraud. No one made a peep. The entire foundation and all its subsidiaries are total frauds. It is a money pit from which the Clintons profit and pay off Obama to look the other way.
Related, How is Sid B. a paid member of the Clinton Foundation yet he is giving Hillary classified info on the emails that have been released? This is not just a conflict of interest. This is Espionage and abetted by the Sec. of State. Gallows should be built.

If Hitlery had an (R) after her name, the hysterical poo flinging MSM would have rioted, and she would already be serving 1234 consecutive life sentences, and would have been executed 375 times by now
