The Latest Clinton Email Dump ("no information marked classified when sent or received") (HRC GROUP)

[DeepModem Mom]

The State De­part­ment has re­leased the latest batch of Hil­lary Clin­ton’s mes­sages from her time run­ning the agency, the latest dis­clos­ure from the private email sys­tem that has be­come a fo­cus of GOP polit­ic­al at­tacks in the White House race.

The over 7,000 pages pos­ted on­line, which were sent or re­ceived in 2009 and 2010, is by far the largest of the rolling monthly re­leases that State is provid­ing un­der a judge’s or­der in a high-pro­file pub­lic re­cords law­suit.

Around 150 of the newly re­leased mes­sages have been re­dac­ted be­cause an on­go­ing inter-agency re­view has de­term­ined that they con­tain clas­si­fied in­form­a­tion, State De­part­ment spokes­man Mark Toner told re­port­ers earli­er Monday.

He said that none of them were marked clas­si­fied when ori­gin­ally sent or re­ceived. Clin­ton, after ini­tially say­ing in March that there was no clas­si­fied in­form­a­tion in the sys­tem, has softened her po­s­i­tion to say that there was no in­form­a­tion that was marked clas­si­fied when sent or re­ceived.

Ac­cord­ing to pub­lished re­ports, and a scan of the mes­sages, the re­dac­ted emails in the new batch are marked “con­fid­en­tial,” which is the low­est level of clas­si­fic­a­tion.

Ques­tions about clas­si­fied con­tent has fed GOP al­leg­a­tions that Clin­ton be­haved reck­lessly with such in­form­a­tion, which is sup­posed to be sent over spe­cial se­cure net­works. In par­tic­u­lar, the in­spect­or gen­er­al for in­tel­li­gence agen­cies has said that at least two mes­sages from a lim­ited num­ber sampled con­tained “top-secret” in­form­a­tion, the highest level of clas­si­fic­a­tion.

However, the State De­part­ment and Clin­ton’s cam­paign note that there are of­ten dis­agree­ments with­in the gov­ern­ment about what in­form­a­tion should be con­sidered clas­si­fied, and many ex­perts also say that ex­cess­ive secrecy — that is, “over­clas­si­fic­a­tion” — is a ma­jor prob­lem....

1. The Clinton administration tried to reduce unnecessary classification--BushCo sent it in the other

direction.

I have personally observed that a lot of material marked "classified" can be found in newspapers and magazines around the world. It's either hubris or stupidity that ends up classifying some stuff. People like to pretend they are important, so they'll put their little (C) and (S) and (TS) and NOFORN all over their work product to make themselves seem more significant than they actually are.

If you can read it in the Times of India, it ain't a secret.

3. I have been reading the e-mails and a couple of things struck me

1. I would feel violated if the whole world could read my e-mails. I understand that they are public record. And so are the e-mails of everyone who works for the government. But, to have my day to day conversations exposed to everyone would be difficult.

2. She is a very good person. People who work with her a loyal and love her.

3. A couple of them cracked me up. She was so exited to get an IPad and then asked Huma to teach her how to use it.

4. Her life is so normal in such an abnormal environment. "Mubarak would like to talk to you..." and then the next e-mail is scheduling lunch with a friend.

I think these e-mails provide insight to her that is missing from our ugly media and uglier attacks by "democrats." They show her human side. I know they will be twisted and distorted, but if people can see through the BS, I think they help her.

4. Yes,I've been reading some at Mediaite,she comes

across as very warm and engaging.It may help her fight the sexist "cold and calculating" crap she gets from the left and the right. My favorite "lets wrap this up in the senate and go drink something unhealthy".

5. This could backfire on the media

The right and the Hillary haters on the left.

6. I agree...

I could tell that Mika and Joe were very disappointed this morning. Their imaginary pearls were slipping through their clutching fingers.
