ORIGINAL: MrRodgers From the Washington Times link: ... Mrs. Clinton said none of the messages was marked classified at the time she sent or received them and that the Obama administration has overused secrecy tags for her messages. ... Does it really fucking matter if the Administration overuses secrecy tags? If the President marked something as "secret," and it was something incredibly ridiculous to label as "secret," does she have the authority to over-rule the President and wipe away the "secret" tag? She doesn't have to agree with the tag. She just has to act according to the law. quote:
Last week, the State Department revealed that former Secretary Colin L. Powell had a handful of email messages that contained information that the department now deems sensitive enough to be classified, as did several aides to former Secretary Condoleezza Rice. Ms. Rice and Mr. Powell served under President George W. Bush. So am I to understand that what is really going on, is that HRC should run as a repub ? Did Colin Powell or Condoleeza Rice break the law? I understand and have no problem with Hillary having things on her private server that were there before they were deemed classified. That happens (and that's what happened with Powell and Rice). There are claims that there were emails on her private server that were deemed classified when they were put on her server, which isn't allowed. And, there are even allegations that she ignored things on her private server for FOIA requests. If that's true (and I have no idea if it is or isn't), that's certainly not legal. What happens if Sanders drops out and runs as an Independent, and then over the Summer, Clinton is indicted? Does Bernie come back to the D's, or does he nod smugly and and ask if they are finally feeling the Bern? I've read no such claims and that's the problem when the herd mentality takes over. Once again though, were FOIA after or before these emails were claimed to be secret. I don't know about Sanders except that I don't think he'll have the money to run as an indep. Obama has screwed the dems though. Because I swear if this were a repub admin. and it was Powell, they would have claimed he turned over everything an nothing was deemed classified. Case closed.
