"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. spy agencies have told Congress that Hillary Clinton's home computer server contained some emails that should have been treated as "top secret" because their wording matched sections of some of the government's most highly classified documents, four sources familiar with the agency reports said.
The two reports are the first formal declarations by U.S. spy agencies detailing how they believe Clinton violated government rules when highly classified information in at least 22 email messages passed through her unsecured home server."

(90 posts)Even the aggregrate polls show Clinton behind now.
It will remain that way until June. Super Tuesday is only 20% of the vote, and it does not end right there. Bernie's got this.

(10,622 posts)You see, Most people that discuss politics, policy, and politicians on a board designed for that purpose tend to pay attention to politics. Most are even policy wonks, being uniformed may work well for you when discussing politics on say a cooking, or outdoor life discussion board, but the uninformed just look , well, silly on a board like this.
On the bright side, it is never too late to start becoming an informed citizen!

(36,063 posts)It's unclear if discussion is about cut & paste or retyping, but it would seem to indicate that someone broke rules by doing that. That sort of thing was suggested in one of the emails last month.
If new documents were created to get around the issue of marked classified documents that would seem to indicate knowledge of the classification and purposefully working around it. That seems like it could be a significant problem for someone.

(1,464 posts)Hillary was trained on how to handle classified material including how to recognize it regardless of markings and was required to report any breaches of classified data. If she didn't do, it is a serious problem.
My guess is the GOP is waiting for Hillary to get the nomination and then they will dump this information out.

(6,145 posts)She claims she did not send documents marked as classified. That's true in a sense if you just cut and paste the contents of the document minus the markings.
I wonder if this is where the FBI investigation is going?
