In reply to the discussion: Feds Release More Clinton Emails On Eve Of South Carolina Primary [View all]Rafale
(291 posts)12. Can do friend
FOIA does not involve releasing classified info. Classified info is redacted. If any classified info is DECLASSIFIED, it must be done by the proper declassification authority, who has the appropriate training, and before that info is released it must also undergo policy review to ensure that any government actions underway are not affected.
THE EMAILS BEING DISCUSSED DID NOT GO THROUGH ANY LEGAL PROCESS FOR DECLASSIFICATION AND ARE IN FACT UNDER INVESTIGATION BECAUSE 1800 EMAILS MUST BE KEPT CLASSIFIED AND LIKELY UNDERMINE US GOVERNMENT POLICY WITH REGARD TO FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The emails were written willy nilly on a Blackberry out in the clear on the Internet. Hope this helps.

The "Email" wasn't classified, but in many, the information within was classified at the time.
