The two “top secret" emails under review from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private server include discussion of an article about a U.S. drone operation, the Associated Press reported Friday.
While the U.S. drone program has been widely reported on, the article references classified information and a Clinton adviser follows up "in a way that could possibly be inferred as confirmation," the AP said, citing intelligence officials.
Officials offered the AP different accounts of the second email, saying it could improperly acknowledge classified information or merely show that different individuals separately got the same information.
Clinton, now a Democratic presidential candidate, earlier this week said her aides were handing over her private email server and a backup thumb drive to the Justice Department.
That news came hours after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent a memo to a handful of lawmakers confirming that the inspector general for the intelligence community found four "highly classified" emails out of a batch of 40.
Grassley said that two of the emails were "top secret." Clinton has turned over roughly 30,000 emails in all, and her campaign maintained this week that she did not personally send or receive any emails with classified information, though "some emails that weren't secret at the time she sent or received them might be secret now."
"My concerns are bigger than Hillary Clinton," Grassley, the Senate Judiciary chairman, said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"They deal with whether or not our national security is going to be preserved and also the extent to which classified information should only be seen by people who have clearance to do that, and it's also an issue of whether or not the laws are going to be abided by," he added.
Shouldn’t this career criminal and chronic liar, hillary, be in prison? That she had a personal server and that she chose to destroy 30,000 emails in itself would seem to be a crime. But, then, I forgot...she is one of our “betters” and is not responsible for anything. How stupid of me.
Makes perfect sense. Hillary has been a radical Muslim for some time now.
I hope the next Clinton in line was not discussing classified information about drones when these two were allegedly taken by Iran while she was SofS. The unauthorized release of top secret information can cause "exceptionally grave damage" and the loss of these drones did cause exceptionally grave damage. If this was cause and effect, we'll have to watch another Clinton felon get away with serious crimes only because the Clinton Crime Family is above the law.
I doubt Hillary was working alone... the feds and intelligence people need to pull in the whole gang. They’ve got the goods - so they’ve got the time.
I suspect she’s a traitor - Hilary’s ‘religion’ is lies and power... I suspect she’s a traitor.
Obviously no way she could have guessed that subject might have been classified. /s

The fact that AP is reporting on this and that the home brew server story is starting to get some traction tells me that one faction of the ‘rats are trying to kill her nomination. Their own internals have to show that she would have a tough grind in the General Election, but without her in the primaries, that would let Biden, Sanders, and even the ex-governor from Maryland get some oxygen (money) and compete with any GOP nominee.
She belongs in prison, but won’t go there, as she is a bona fide member of the ruling class. But I think the pullers of the strings have had enough of her and Billy Boy...
The Clintons became butt buddies with the muslim brotherhood back in the 1980s.
Corruption is so vast that nothing will happen.
Were these emails that have drones in them showing the way to get to Stevens so shillary’s ‘friends’ could murder him and the other three??
I wouldn’t doubt it, look at the blood trail they have left behind them since Arkansas to now, and if Huma doesn’t run into hiding, she’ll be next....
lets not forget these top secret emails came from a sampling of emails...I think there were a lot more than just the two that we are talking about.
... of the ones she actually turned over. Who knows what's in the ones she didn't?
The way I understand this worked is that someone send Hillary a summarized or transcribed version of the TS documents, without the markings. But that's a felony in and of itself - making any copy or notes of a TS document automatically requires that document to be classified and controlled like the original (even if it were allowed, which, generally, it isn't) - and disseminating it... serious violation.
Furthermore, Clinton was an original classifying authority (OCA) - she cannot possibly claim that she did not know the material sent to her should not have been classified, and she was required to report it's "spillage" immediately.
Put her in Jonathan Pollard’s cell. She will probably end up having done far more damage to U.S. security than he ever did
I don’t agree. I remember the Nixon stuff... he had the same types of defenders Hillary has... people who could not believer anyone that powerful would throw it all away for almost nothing...
Even the stupid ones in congress that consultants chose for how they looked on TV are starting to ‘get it’...
Waiting for the “What did Hillary know, and when did she know it” moment.
If Hillary takes down the party - and people stop giving money to the pretty boy’s consultants - the game’s up. The consultant class won’t get their cut of ad money... That’s what this is about.
It would be like taking Christmas away from retailers.
The run up to a Presidential Race is where the parasites make all their money. They have to dump Hillary - and quickly. If she gets out of the race they can still ‘clean up’. If she stays in, she’ll take everyone down with her.
Big donors will close their wallets and sit this one out.
The consultant class needs to ease Hillary out - and as quickly as possible. This isn’t sex with an intern... and it’s not the vast right wing conspiracy... It’s criminal. Even if goons at the bottom run mentally ill ones to destruction it won’t be a distraction. They’ve got to dump her.
It’s coming...
