"Clinton emailed classified information after leaving State Dept."

NY PostOn May 28, 2013, months after stepping down as secretary of state, Clinton sent an email to a group of diplomats and top aides about the “123 Deal” with the United Arab Emirates. But the email, which was obtained by the Republican National Committee through a Freedom of Information Act request, was heavily redacted upon its release by the State Department because it contains classified information.

The markings on the email state it will be declassified on May 28, 2033, and that information in the note is being redacted because it contains “information regarding foreign governors” and because it contains “Foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources.”

The email from Clinton was sent from the email account — hrod17@clintonemail.com — associated with her private email server.

The email’s recipients were Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, diplomat Jeffrey Feltman, policy aide Jake Sullivan, diplomat Kurt Campbell, State Department chief of staff Cheryl Mills, and Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

The “123 Deal” was a 2009 agreement between the United Arab Emirates and the US on materials and technological sharing for nuclear energy production.

“Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information was so pervasive, it continued after she left government,” Republican National Committee research director Raj Shah told The Post. “She clearly can’t be trusted with our nation’s security.”

Clinton is believed to have sent 2,101 emails that contained at least some classified information.

Apparently Comey's clean bill of health was given without a thorough examination of the facts.

Comey's clean bill of health was purchased by the Global Slush Fund

Leon! Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. Joe Cocker at his manic best. Everyone you see on stage in that video was on the payroll. Joe sung his guts out for a year and netted about 87 bucks. Everyone else, every roadie, every backup "singer", the rhythm section, every single one of them made out like bandits at Joe's expense.

Leon is still with us, in fact, last picture I saw of him made me think that God took one look at him and said "That's a good look, I think I'll got with that". Or not. Just a passing thought.

Sixty, I think you are so right. The resemblance is freaky.

Openly or secretly, I believe most Americans would like to see justice done with regards to Clinton. We saw two opportunities come and go, Coney's decision and the DNC's decision, and are now skeptical of it happening through our justice system.

I think it was a commenter here who said something like "the election will be decided on events to come, not on those in the past." There is still a plausibly good chance still that Clinton will use her health card to get out of this mess if she sees new poll numbers drop in response to the latest email dump.

Maybe not plausible, but hopeful.

John, all this does is reinforce in my mind even more that conservativism is utterly dead. Leftism has won and these people have been in government for over a century plotting, crafting, waiting and now they are out in the open. It's not a secret anymore what their goals and aims are, which is to tear down the United States.

This is what I was thinking of.

Cough, retch, puke, gag, spit, gargle, rinse, repeat.

There, all better now.

That's the real reason Lennon got shot.
