52. The 100+ emails info

Tue Aug 2, 2016, 04:24 PM

Aug 2016

comes from both Comey's statement and his testimony in front of Congress.

Comey didn't make the determination as to what was classified, it was made by the owners of the information contained in the 100+ emails that were classified (though not marked as such) at the time they were received/sent.

The State Department doesn't get to declassify information that was classified by another agency/organization (no agency does), so it's irrelevant what the State Department's standards were.

As I've said repeatedly, I don't blame Hillary, I blame her staff members who knowingly and willfully removed classification markings and headings and then moved the data from classified systems to an unclassified system. None of those people should be permitted to ever have a security clearance again.
