Kerry used private email to send Clinton now classified info

WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department said Tuesday that John Kerry, when he was a senator, used a private email account to send information now deemed classified to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her personal server.

Spokesman John Kirby said then-Senator Kerry used a "non-official account" to send a May 19, 2011, message to Clinton and then-national security adviser Tom Donilon. Portions of the message were classified as "secret" last week and censored when it was released along with about another 1,000 of Clinton's emails on Friday. The non-redacted portions of the message in question refer to developments in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

that were deemed 'classified' in the months and years AFTER they were originally acquired.

Many congressional reports gathered by NSA would later be deemed to include classified material.

I am surprised more DUers aren't as aware of this reality as they should be.

I am surprised some DUers act as desperate for there to be a crime here as the Republican lie machine that pushes this pile of BS on a daily basis.
