The State Department releases another batch of Hillary Clinton’s emails: 84 are classified and 3 are secret

February 13, 2016

   The State Department has released the latest batch of Hillary Clinton’s emails and keeping with a government tradition the bad news was released over a holiday weekend. The newly released emails contain 84 which have now been deemed classified and 3 which have been deemed secret.

  Here is more:

More than 15 percent of the latest batch of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails released Saturday contain classified information, with three of the messages being labeled “secret” — continuing to add to the questions surrounding her email use.

One of the messages is an extensive missive from David Satterfield, a top U.S. diplomat to Egypt, who told top officials in both the White House and State Department about negotiations in the Sinai. The entire contents of the messages are now deemed “secret,” though there is no indication they were marked as such at the time. The message was forwarded to Mrs. Clinton by top aide Jacob Sullivan.

 Although there is no indication the emails were marked as such when they were either sent or received it does not matter because when you are dealing with secret negotiations with another nation the emails are considered born classified and it is presumed that the head of the State Department is smart enough to make that determination on his or her own.

  Yet Hillary Clinton’s defense remains to be that the emails were not marked classified therefor she has done nothing wrong. If she is being honest with her defense it means that she was not smart enough to realize which emails would fall into the born classified category and  thusly she cannot be trusted with secrets of national security at the Presidential level…

    Hill-a-beans has screeched about the vast right wing conspiracy forever, but never gave any examples. Now she is. She now says all her emails were meaningless and harmless until the VRWC retroactively reclassified them. Hillary demands the victim of the year award, which is a very tough call, since half the country is trying for that (dis)honor.

      Yeah, there is a long line there but I think she will manage to push herself to the front of it!

    I am so tired of these “emails”, but not like Bernie Sanders dismissing them. I am tired of knowing that nothing will be done to her and all of her excuses must be true. She wants us to believe that nothing was “marked”, well SO WHAT! Isn’t this the most intelligent Woman in the world? She seems to think so. What the hell kind of Sec of State would do this to her own country? How could anyone possibly have any respect for this evil woman? She makes me sick, along with all the people that are covering for her. She will get a pass one way or another and that also makes me sick. To tell the truth, I am sick of the news most ever day, because corruption is running wild in the streets and there is no one in authority that will grab it by the throat and stomp on it. We lost a man yesterday that had the integrity to know right from wrong and good from evil and yet that loss will be over shadowed by this piece of crap woman. When do we hear that anything positive comes from this Administration or the Congress/Senate that we can be proud of? There seems to be no future and there seems to be total control right around the corner. I am not sure how much more the USA can take from the evil doers, but I have a feeling it is not much. Unless we elect someone into office that can put our country on the right path, we are lost as a nation. With all the fraud we see going on, that will be a slim chance.
    Today, I feel that this country has lost a “friend” that had our back. I feel alot more vulnerable this morning than I did yesterday when I woke up. That is an unsettling feeling. I am hard pressed to remember the last time I had this feeling…….

      I don’t know how anyone could vote for her after all of this unless of course they are just not paying attention. I think between Bernie promising to give everybody everything and this that it is actually taking a toll on her. At this point I guess the best we can hope for is that this scandal might keep her out of the White House.

        i get what you are saying, but will Bernie be any better? No! Either one of them and we are screwed. For some reason people are blind to what she has done and just choose to over look it. How can someone not see what she is doing? It almost seems that all the “scandals” are just boosting her up in the eyes of her base. Twisted thinking, that is.

        No Bernie will not be any better, that is for sure. But I am looking at is as we have to take them down one at a time. If Bernie defeats Hillary he does have some things in his history the young people do not know about which we can then try to use against him.

        That is true about Bernie. But did you ever think that those things might appeal to the younger voters? He seems to be their idol and they want to relive that hippy era. I would like to forget it, but guess for other reasons than what they want.

        After all, haven’t we seen where the past doesn’t seem to matter to the Liberal mind? It is almost a right of passage.

        Very true Lou, they are simply looking at what he is promising them and most likely that is all they care about.

    A mere 84 classified national security e-mails resting in a bathroom somewhere in Colorado will be buried along with the late Antonin Scalia. Timing is everything.
