Re: Ethics Watchdog Puts Hillary Clinton in a League of Her Own
1) You are making claims that are completely baseless. There is absolutely no evidence that she knew, or even that she should have known, what is classified and what is not if her email is not marked classified.
IOW, you're making stuff up
2) And without the classified markings, there's no reason to think the recipient would know that it was classified
3) There is no evidence that this happened.
So basically, we end up with the article claiming that Hillary abused her office based on "We say so" instead of based on actual evidence
If you don't know or understand the context of what we're talking about then you should learn it before continuing with this discussion.
1: Hillary was the SoS. She knew what type of information is considered classified and what isn't. In fact it was part of her job to know. Regardless if they were marked "classified" or not. If she didn't consider any of the emails that were on her private email server as being classified that have been identified by the FBI as being classified then she was extremely incompetent AT BEST. And that's being nice. At worst she knew very well that information was classified the moment she saw them, in which case she should have put a stop to such information being disseminated to private email servers. The fact that she didn't, and continued to receive them means that she was breaking the law. Considering the amount of emails that were deemed as classified by the FBI I find it extremely hard to believe that she didn't even once actually consider at the very least SOME of them to be classified. Unless she is extremely stupid. So stupid as to be not fit for a secretary position in a private mom and pop store, much less be POTUS or SoS.
2: It's not that hard to copy classified information without using the classified tag. Simply re-type the information into a separate window/program and boom, you can resend it without the classified tag. Hell, if ya had to you could print the information out and use a completely different computer and resend it as an email to bypass any type of security that original computer had on it.
3: The State Department has a dog in this fight. If its determined that they purposely sent classified emails to Hillary's private email server then those in the State Department that did this are in just as much hot water as Hillary should be in right now. So what they say in this matter is highly suspect.
