The e-mail "scandal" that the conservatives are desperately hoping will derail the Hillary Clinton campaign seems unlikely to do so.

So some of you may have heard this recent news about Hillary's e-mails: 

The State Department announced Friday that it will not release 22 emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton because they contain "top secret" information, the highest level of government classification.

Now that is the kind of news that is guaranteed to cause the Right Wing to start jizzing in their pants.

But hold on.

State Department spokesman John Kirby said the documents, totaling 37 pages, were not marked classified at the time they were sent, but are being upgraded at the request of the Intelligence Community because they contain sensitive information.

This means that Hillary's assertion that she did not have classified e-mails on her server is technically still true.

And just today Hillary seemed to double down on that point: 

Hillary Clinton told NBC she did not generate any of the 22 newly upgraded “top secret” emails recently withheld by the State Department and is not concerned about the contents of the messages. 

“No, I did not,” she told NBC News’ Monica Alba when asked whether she personally wrote any of the emails. She waived them off as old news, according to excerpts of the conversation distributed by NBC News. “I’m really not concerned because it’s the same story that has been going on for months now, and I just don’t think most people are as concerned about that as they are about what we’re going to do to get economy going and how we’re going to protect the Affordable Care Act and everything I talk about in this campaign because that’s what Iowans, Americans talk to me about.”

Of course much is still being made of the fact that the FBI is investigating this case, but it appears that White House Spokesman Josh Earnest just stuck a pin in that as well.

I think now is a good time to remind everybody that there is NO evidence that Hillary's e-mail server was in any way compromised.

However the same cannot be said about the State Department's e-mail server which was indeed attacked in what has been called the "worst hack ever."

So from the evidence presented so far it would seem that any sensitive material that might have been exchanged between then Secretary of State Clinton and the State Department, was far safer while in Hillary's possession than it was on the government e-mail servers.

Just saying.

    Timing is all, and this "scandal" reeks of political trickery. This should've been cleared up long ago.

    In an O/T: ever since I read about Ben Sasse teasing Trump about Trump's tiny hands, I've been looking at everyone's hands, and even Hillary has longer fingers than the Donald. hahahaha

      Just the fact that they have retroactively classified these emails means that she was sending classified info on a non-secure server.

      I don't know why someone didn't counsel Hillary to play by the rules and use a State Department server.

      I'm pretty sure at her age Hillary just doesn't understand the implications regarding digital date transfer but dammit she should have had better advisors, younger people that understand how it all works.

      He's really fat and out of shape so you'd have to lift up his FUPA to even find his ugly, tiny, misshapen ginger-haired weiner, and even then it would likely be soft because he's really old and can't get it up any longer.

      That's a really ugly picture I just painted, right, and here it is almost dinner time...

      @5:15PM Where to start with this comment.

      This may come as a surprise to you, but us old folks are quite capable of understanding how computers, networks, servers, and databases all work as well as encryption, SSL and firewalls.

      In fact it was us old folks that invented all of it. You young folks use it, doesn’t mean you understand how it works.

      Just because her server was at home does not mean it was unsecured and she was playing by the rules, she did not have to use a state department server. What she sent was unclassified at the time; changing classification in the future does not mean she was sending classified material.

And by the way. Condi and Colin both used home servers. AND both have been asked to turn over their emails, and have not. Give it up. Hillary is not going to jail.

      Apparently 5:15 doesn't know what "retroactively" means. It means "after the fact". As in "if they just classified the information NOW, that means it WASN'T classified THEN. So unless you are Bill & Ted, changing the status of the information in the present doesn't automatically make Hillz a criminal in the past.

      I understand the desperation of conservatives to twist time and space into a shape that will kill Hillary's campaign, but it's not going to work and just makes them look sad and desperate.

      Maybe next time they should try not to field such a laughably pathetic line up of candidates. Every one of them makes Romney look like a seasoned world leader and sadly even makes Dubya seem *almost* presidential in comparison.

      [Platte River Networks] deleted several pages from its website, including a section about how it outsources its data-disposal work to a local firm called Techno Rescue. That page appears to have been removed earlier this month, but can still be viewed in a cached version on major search engines.

Sanders said he is pushing for universal healthcare and he pointed out that that he has called for increasing funding to Planned Parenthood, not cutting it.

      "She is talking to the people of Iowa and saying Bernie Sanders wants to dismantle healthcare," Sanders said." Dismantle healthcare? I’ve been fighting for universal healthcare my entire life."

    If I have to, I will hold my nose and vote for Hillary Clinton in November. Assuming she gets the nomination, she will be less worse than whoever the Republican candidate is. But I won't vote for her with an ounce of enthusiasm, and I will vote for her with much reluctance. She is a member of the rightwing fundie Christian group known as the Family. So I don't trust Hillary Clinton on a single issue. I can only hope, but definitely not trust, that she won't be as bad as an actual Republican. If her lying cheating horndog of a middle-class destroying husband is any example, she won't be much better.

    Clinton's maintaining of a private server, knowing it was a shady thing to do, is a perfect example of how secretive and dishonest she is. A person with that much to hide is not a person to trust. Trusting anything she says to get elected would be a big mistake.

    And no - you do NOT have to be a Republican to think Hillary Clinton sucks, so don't even try it. You DO have to be an honest Democrat who is not willing to look the other way and make excuses for them when candidates like Hillary Clinton are as crooked, Wall Street-enabling, and full of triangulating SHIT as she is.

      The crowd happily sang along and cheered for headlining band Vampire Weekend.

      But it was the 74-year-old senator from Vermont who proved to be the night's main event.

      As he ascended to a raised platform in the middle of the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, Sanders was greeted by deafening cheers and chants of "Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!" Many of the concertgoers had waited outside for hours to snag a spot on the field house floor.

      "Whoa," Sanders said. "There's a lot of people here."

      The concert, which ended with a rendition of "This Land Is Your Land," capped off a day of campaign efforts aimed at translating Sanders' large crowd counts and enthusiasm into votes on Monday night.

      Thank you, 9:17, for posting that link! I read it as well as parts 2,3, and 4. Very eye-opening. I'm still largely undecided for the primary election, but it's nice to read a piece about Sanders' history as a progressive and a politician different from what we get from Sanders' die hard supporters.


      Bernie is obviously a progressive, but not a perfect one (as so many people want to believe). Guess what? He's a politician. He has flip flopped on some issues and compromised on others in the pursuit of getting elected. He also has a history of minimizing the plight of women and people of color, subsuming them completely under the umbrella of economics while not addressing the problems of sexism and racism to the degree I would expect from a progressive.

      I'm not saying I wouldn't vote for him based on this piece or his history, but information is always a good thing to have.

    Speaking of the ACA, we are losing one of our only two options up here, Moda Health, which leaves us only with Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Personally, I was paying only $300/month with Moda with my subsidy and with Blue Cross my premium will go up to nearly $670/month. The tax penalty just became more affordable than having insurance.

    Moda customers will still have insurance until the next enrollment period in the fall but unless someone else joins the insurance pool up here there are many of us that will go back to being uninsured.

    Dr. Jill Stein, is a smart and very classy lady who is running for president, she is the one we need for the first women president of the US!

    Jill Stein's platform more viable than Bernie's

    Senator Bernie Sanders' domestic proposals have got millions excited, but the (unfair and misleading) criticism that he'll raise taxes may be a tragic flaw, and it's one he opens himself up to by refusing to say that he'll cut the military. Stein would cut at least half of the single biggest item in the discretionary budget, an item that takes up at least half of that budget: military spending. She'd cut fossil fuel subsidies, as well, and expect savings to come from healthcare, including as a result of cutting pollution and improving food quality. But the big immediate item is the military. Cutting it is popular with voters, but not with Democratic or Republican presidential candidates. Sanders will be labeled the Tax Man by the corporate media, while Jill Stein will have to be attacked in a different way if she gets mentioned.

    "Cutting the military budget is something that we can do right now," Stein told me, "but we want to be clear that we are putting an end to wars for oil – period. And that is part of our core policy of a Green New Deal which creates an emergency program, establishing twenty million living wage jobs, full-time jobs, to green the economy, our energy, food, and transportation systems, building critical infrastructure, restoring ecosystems, etc. This is an emergency program that will get to 100 percent renewable energy by 2030. So this is a war-time-level mobilization in order to completely detoxify our energy system, and that means both nuclear and fossil fuel. In doing that, we deprive the empire of this major justification for wars and bases all around the world. So we want to be clear that that emphasis is gone, and goading the American public into war so as to feed our fossil fuel energy system – that ends and makes all the more essential and possible the major cutting of the military budget."

    I read that there was on email on the server that was so secret, it was password encrypted. Pretty hard to say there were zero top secret items on the server. Since SOS was a top position and some data/info would be too complex to merely deal with by phone, if over four years Hillary never received a top secret email, then what did she actually do? Was she a token employee who was left in the dark while the office was run wholly by others? The other issue is whether she used same email address to run state business and clinton foundation. That is a conflict of interest crime.

      I read that Obama is the anti-Christ. Do I believe what I read? Of course not. Why should you? As 5:26 suggests, please provide a link so that we may judge its veracity. By the way, do you have ANY idea of how the State Dept. functions? I thought not.

      Don't bother with giving Hillary fan club sycophants links. They won't believe them anyways. They would prefer to keep the blinders on. Even if Hillary is indicted they won't believe it.

      What's your problem, 9:18? Most of us are trying to be objective, looking at both Hillary and Bernie's pros and cons.

      That national review article is unabashedly-biased trash.

    Hillary Clinton Demands That All Of Her Emails Be Released

    n a fiery statement, the Hillary Clinton campaign blasted the bureaucratic turf war that is causing the delay in her emails being made public. The presidential campaign of the former secretary of state demanded the release of all of her emails.

    Hillary for America National Press Secretary Brian Fallon said in a statement:

    We firmly oppose the complete blocking of the release of these emails. Since first providing her emails to the State Department more than one year ago, Hillary Clinton has urged that they be made available to the public. We feel no differently today.

    After a process that has been dominated by bureaucratic infighting that has too often played out in public view, the loudest and leakiest participants in this interagency dispute have now prevailed in blocking any release of these emails. This flies in the face of the fact that these emails were unmarked at the time they were sent, and have been called ‘innocuous’ by certain intelligence officials. We understand that these emails were likely originated on the State Department’s unclassified system before they were ever shared with Secretary Clinton, and they have remained on the department’s unclassified system for years. And, in at least one case, the emails appear to involve information from a published news article.

    This appears to be over-classification run amok. We will pursue all appropriate avenues to see that her emails are released in a manner consistent with her call last year.

    Each time that the intelligence community bureaucracy delays or holds back the release of her emails, the email story lives for another day. The easiest way for Clinton to get the empty email scandal out of the presidential campaign is for the intelligence community to stop fighting with each other and reclassifying her emails.

    The sooner all of the emails are released, the better it will be for her presidential campaign. Republicans have spent years trying to come up with a smoking gun email that will stop the Clinton campaign, and they’ve got nothing.

    The Clinton email “scandal” has always been about the 2016 election.
