NOT TOP SECRET AT THE TIME THEY WERE SENT period!

37. I will say this once again, this is a highly technical story

that is beyond most partisans.

I did READ one of the early emails that was LATER classified. That email, with the other three, which started this, was downloaded by me and buttloads of other press. and the information in it, whether it was marked classified or not, matters little, should not have been released.


This was the reason Reuters ran that story where they questioned some of this while the IG started to ask questions that things started to get interesting. And they continue to get interesting.

While I am disgusted people are defending this breach of common sense, I am not surprised it is beyond the reach of partisans and most Americans. You should ask folks who have actually handled intel if an email identifying heads of state with messages from such a head of state are born classified. It does not matter if this was on the Behghazi affair (PM Cameron is mentioned with a message to POTUS), or it was the same PM Cameron arranging dinner and a theater in DC.

And I will leave it at that.

Will there be prosecution? HELL NO. She is well connected. If this was private jones, or technician jones at State, at the very least they would lose their clearance for an unintended leak. And private Jones might face a court martial.

This was an unforced error on her part. None told her to do this shit. And spare the Powell. He had a GMAIL address for shit like what time for dinner and theater in a computer that did NOT go though any of State systems, they are called unsecured machines, and many government officials have those. They are meant for fully unclassed stuff. He started doing that as SedDef. ? Her server had those too. I really feel sorry for the graduate history student. Talk of information overload.

As to the timing of the release, if they wanted to do REAL DAMAGE they would have released this on humpday, not on news dump Friday after most of the news cycle. So you are right, I am reaching for the tinfoil. but for very different reasons than you are.
