In reply to the discussion: Clinton says no email apology: 'What I did was allowed' [View all]Bubzer
(4,211 posts)50. Reposting this for your benefit
The intelligence communitys inspector general had previously identified four e-mails out of a sample of 40 that had been sent on her server and contained classified information, including two that involved top-secret information. In those cases, however, people who have reviewed the e-mails said that Clinton did not write them.
...
In several exchanges, Verveer forwarded Clinton accounts of confidential reports from Foreign Service officers giving updates from their posts. She shared long notes from the U.S. ambassador to Bangladesh describing what he learned in a private dinner with senior officials in that country amid a major embezzlement scandal.

Its worth noting that it doesn't matter who wrote the e-mails. All that matters is how the sensitive content was handled.

I think this more saying that her actions are worth scrutiny because she is a lawyer.

I am sorry, you are probably correct. They have never done anything just for the sake of the money.

IMO, they'd rather stay on the email issue rather than have the focus switch to other

The only way it would have been "allowed" would be if the President gave her an EO or PPD to do it.

Those activities predated the '09 Executive Order that made these communications presumed classified
