Hillary’s e-mail defense is ‘total BS’: former State Dept. officials [more details]

...Such messages contain sensitive “keywords” distinguishing them from unclassified information, even if the material didn’t bear a classified heading as she claims.

The secretary would have known better, the department ­officials say, because she was trained to understand the difference when she was “read in” on procedures to ID and handle classified information by diplomatic-security officials in 2009.

Clinton also went through a so-called “read-off” when she left ­office in 2013. In that debriefing, security officials reminded her of her duty to return all classified documents, including ones in which the classification status is “uncertain,” which would have included the e-mails stored on her private server — which she only this month turned over to authorities. The read-off would have included her signing a nondisclosure agreement.

“Once she resigned as secretary, she needed to return classified documents and other government-owned documents, which in this case would have included the server,” veteran Diplomatic Security Service Special Agent Raymond Fournier said....

Both e-mails were classified TS/SI — Top Secret/Special Intelligence — and required the nation’s highest security clearance to read. SI is a control system within the supersecret designation known as Sensitive Compartmented Information.

SCI intelligence, which if leaked can cause “grave harm” to national security, is tightly controlled and usually kept in hard-copy form in bound books numbered and stored in highly secure “read rooms” known as SCIFs at department headquarters in Foggy Bottom. Before entering, cleared officials are required to place cellphones, BlackBerrys, iPads, laptops and other electronic devices on a shelf outside the monitored facilities. TS/SCI material is transported between SCIFs in locked bags carried by special couriers.

Clinton aides, however, put it into electronic form....

Many technical details in the article, please read the whole thing.

There's reasons this scandal is still growing. Hillary really stepped into a pile this time - and there's no one to blame but herself.

Note also that the reason SCI intelligence is kept in hard-copy form is so that it can’t be hacked-into thru the Internet.

So what do the Clintons do? Digitize it and put it on the Internet!!

She’s going down, and it won’t be pretty.

She will be never be indicted and put on trial.

What you and I would go to jail for, Hillary will skate - because she is a Clinton.

The rules meant for the Little People don’t apply to her.

Judging from the photograph, I think orange is definitely Hillary's color.

from the article:

They include a 2011 message from Clinton’s top aides that contains military intelligence from United States Africa Command gleaned from satellite images of troop movements in Libya, along with the travel and protection plans for Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who was later killed in a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Another staff ­e-mail sent to Clinton in 2012 contained investigative data about Benghazi terrorist suspects wanted by the FBI.

We’ve never really learned who came up with the kooky “private server” idea in the first place, my guess is her lawyers ‘cuz it sounds technical - but obviously, Hillary didn’t think of it on her own.

And it was probably originally pitched as a great way that “those evil right-wingers won’t be able to get any dirt on you after you leave office”....

Oh, what irony!!

Hillary is of the Untouchable class. She is above the law.

If Clinton is not sent “up the river” for this one there is no justice for the “privileged.” There will be no justice for the privileged Hildebeest in this case.

You are correct sir, unfortunately. What you and I would go to jail for, might send her into the Oval Office. I know that is disgusting, but it could very well happen. What an utterly horrifying thought, of having to say "President Clinton."

She was probably daydreaming (sexual fantasies?) during the briefings.

I would like to hear President Trump say "Nobody is above the law - including the political class. Today, I will reaffirm the principle that everyone in American is treated equally. I will make an example out of former SoS Hillary Clinton. She has willfully violated Federal law, and for that she will be punished. 30 years in prison without parole.

Hillary thought she was untouchable. Above the law, we’ll see.

Appointing her secretary of state was a crime against the American people.

Read on, Read off, etc. Has anyone actually come up with something she signed yet? My guess is no such document exists so she can claim that she “didn’t know” any of the stuff was classified since it “wasn’t marked.”

You forget, these people are trained lawyers, which half the time is used to get around the law, no obey it.

from Clinton’s top aides

Multiple aides sent the 2011 message?

Was that Huma and someone else?
