38. here's another. Classified info in unclassified system not at all limited to Clinton

.. Note that Clinton did not initiate any of the emails in question. Which begs the question, if Comey REALLY thought some emails contained classified information ....WHY ISN'T HE INVESTIGATING THOSE WHO SENT THE EMAILS???? Too embarassing for GOP Toadies of M$M to ask?

Did you ever hear anybody on M$M point out that Clinton did not initiate any of the emails in question? THis bit of information would have made her statement that she trusted the career professionals at State to know what was classified. This statement itself should beg the answering of the question: "What, you mean when they say 'Hillary's emails' they mean emails that were received, not sent, by her???"

note: this article should not be read but studied... and read more than once -- to gain a full understanding so you can talk about it to others.

Use of Unclassified Email Systems Not Limited to Clinton


Of the 30,322 emails made public, 2,028 have had portions redacted and are now classified at the lowest level of classification, “confidential.”

Nearly three-quarters of those emails were classified because they contained what is called “foreign government information” — a vast category of information, gathered through conversations and meetings with foreign counterparts that are the fundamentals of diplomacy, but which had to be protected when the emails were released.

Last week, in an apparent attempt to dispel criticism that many of the emails were improperly sent, a top State Department official argued in a letter to three Senate Democrats that the nation’s diplomats and officials were in fact allowed to send “foreign government information” through the government’s unclassified computer systems.

“Department officials of necessity routinely receive such information through unclassified channels,” said the letter, dated May 2 and written by the assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs, Julia Frifield.
