"Hillary Orders Aide to Strip Classified Marking"

Fox News: The latest batch of emails released from Hillary Clinton's personal account from her tenure as secretary of state includes 66 messages deemed classified at some level, the State Department said early Friday.

In one email, Clinton even seemed to coach a top adviser on how to send secure information outside secure channels.... One email thread from June 2011 appears to include Clinton telling her top adviser Jake Sullivan to send secure information through insecure means.


In response to Clinton's request for a set of since-redacted talking points, Sullivan writes, "They say they've had issues sending secure fax. They're working on it." Clinton responds "If they can't, turn into nonpaper [with] no identifying heading and send nonsecure."

Ironically, an email thread from four months earlier shows Clinton saying she was "surprised" that a diplomatic oficer (officer) named John Godfrey used a personal email account to send a memo on Libya policy after the fall of Muammar Qaddafi. (read more)

Is it worth mentioning that these are only the emails that Hillary's lawyers had reviewed and released to State Dept? There were another @30,000 emails that Hillary deemed to be private and that she deleted.

The only question is what happens when Lynch refuses to prosecute.

I'll just copy this from my comment at Instapundit:

"How did a legal eagle like Hillary make the mistake of putting an apparently illegal order in writing? Maybe she was distracted and got a little careless. Maybe her staff was distracted too. June 16, 2011 was the day that Anthony Weiner announced his resignation."

My third term hypothesis is looking even better today.

Nothing will happen. She will order her underlings to either calm the fuck down or show them the door. Nothing will happen to Hillary. For now.

She's so arrogant she believes herself untouchable. She's never been properly held to account on anything before, so why would she now?

I always thought that shot and especially the one with her eyes bugging out looked like Biden had just porked her where the sun don't shine.

PS Don't put much faith in the Fox poll.

Regardless of whomever you support.

The only media coverage that I have seen is like Politico

GOP slams Clinton's request to use 'nonsecure' email channel

The lede is that Republicans are raising the alarm, the bulk of the article is paragraph after paragraph of Clintonesque word parsing.

“Just because something, a document, is on a classified system doesn’t necessarily make the document, the content, necessarily classified,” he [State spox Kirby] added. He would not say if the document was classified.

Rubio's high heels are much more important to our hack press that law breaking by the Clintoons.
