So the "marked classified" is BS also.

There were three emails with "classified markings" on them. But they weren't actually "marked classified". To be marked classified, there needs to be a header, which there wasn't. All the "classified marking" were were a few &quot C)"s ahead of paragraphs, which, in the presence of a header to the document, indicates that the next paragraph is confidential, the lowest level of classification. Without a header, they don't mean anything, as Comey acknowledged. And the state department has said that those markings were there in error.

We need some serious pushback from Hillary surrogates on this witch-hunt. The GOP is overreaching as usual.

Out of 30,000 emails, she missed a few (C)s that were mistakenly placed in the body of emails. Really, GOP?

As an originator Hillary still should have known.

and that she knew the material was classified but failed to mark it correctly?

I am certain that if that was the case, she would be indicted right now.
