(10,123 posts)11. I don't think that's very smart
This man McCullough is still investigating as the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community. If he encounters one of those coin toss judgments (or less), he might as well nail Hillary as she's impugned his reputation and if she's elected, he won't have a job. She hasn't made a bad situation any better because she's drawing attention to the above letter - which doesn't look good on Hillary no matter what is said or why. Apparently one of the SAP classified emails is about drones - and the public will largely find that the rules are the rules when it comes to top secret documents about drone strikes (as much as many don't like them).
I thought Hillary was supposed to be smarter than that.
If she's worried about the timing of this coming out, well, I have a feeling we haven't seen anything yet compared with what is to come and the timing. For example, they could announce Bryan Pagliano immunity deal just before Super Tuesday. Awful timing for her for sure and politically motivated for sure but there's nothing she can do about it. She put herself in this position.
It's why I continue to think she's going to have a very tough time getting elected if she wins the primary. They have volumes of stuff like this they can use to taint her candidacy.

No more interesting than Hillary Clinton wanting to keep her own email private one month

She might be splitting hairs if she's denying using the server for anything "marked" classified
