In reply to the discussion: UPDATE: Very Bad Development In Hillary's Email Investigation: She Knew It Was A Security Risk [View all]silenttigersong
(957 posts)1. She used her own email server, which prevented State from having access to everything she typed
2. Classified computers do not talk to non-classified computer systems. For Top Secret information, which is often born classified, she would have had to originate the email chain herself, or her own staff did, because you cannot forward such information from a classified computer system. This is obviously not information that was deemed harmless at the time.
3. When you leave State, you give up two piles of emails. Those you deem personal, and those you deem States business. State reviews both piles and either agrees or disagrees with your assessment. Hillary skipped that who process. She provided them exactly zero documents upon her exit. After more than a year, then she printed out what she felt State should see, and withheld the rest. As this latest data dump shows, she withheld emails that had Top Secret info from State.
4. She backed up her private email server to the Cloud, which gave an unbelievable number of people access to Top Secret information. Again, we are not talking about a disagreement about minor things being deemed confidential. This is Top Secret Human Intelligence, which she would have been well aware of at the time.
5. She directed staff to cut off the classified heading of a document so it could be sent via unsecured fax. That, alone, means jail time to the Average Joe Who Is Not Clinton
6. I seriously doubt that Clintons grocery list falls within the category of information so Top Secret it cannot even be released to the Senate. They have specifically referenced SAP HUMINT, which is obviously not her grocery list.
