Ed Morrissey<\/a> at Hot Air<\/a> posted an article today about the latest twists and turns on Hillary Clinton’s private server and private emails. A few months ago, Mrs. Clinton explained to America<\/a> that she never used her private email server<\/a> for classified<\/a> emails. Some of us were skeptical about that statement because, as Secretary of State, a lot of her emails would be at least confidential, but that was her story. Now that many of her emails have been made public (how did that happen when she erased the server? Did only the emails that would not be seriously damaging survive?)<\/p>\n

The article reminds us:<\/p>\n

Former Secretary of State<\/a> Hillary Rodham Clinton received information on her private email server that has now been classified about the deadly attack on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The email in question, forwarded to Clinton by her deputy chief of staff Jake Sullivan, relates to reports of arrests in Libya of possible suspects in the attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2026The information was not classified at the time the email was sent but was upgraded from \u201cunclassified\u201d to \u201csecret\u201d on Friday at the request of the FBI<\/a>, according to State Department<\/a> officials. They said 23 words of the Nov. 18, 2012, message were redacted from the day\u2019s release of 296 emails totaling 896 pages to protect information that could damage foreign relations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because the information was not classified at the time the email was sent, no laws were violated, but Friday\u2019s redaction shows that Clinton received sensitive information on her unsecured personal server.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2026QUESTION: Were you ever \u2014 were you ever specifically briefed on the security implications of using \u2014 using your own email server and using your personal address to email with the president?<\/strong><\/p>\n

CLINTON: I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material.\u00a0So I\u2019m certainly well-aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note the statement that says the information was not classified at the time. The author of an email determines its classification. Why did the author of the emails that are now classified change their status?<\/p>\n

Please follow the link above to read the entire article. The article includes a very interesting email exchange between Hillary Clinton and Jacob Sullivan. One email includes a second email address<\/a> (after the existence of a second email address was denied).<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Note the e-mail address on this message \u2014 not the hdr22 address that the Clintons have insisted was the only one used by Hillary, but the hrod17 address that got exposed a few days ago<\/a>. In this e-mail, it looks like Hillary used this address for her more political issues, although without looking at the whole record, it would be difficult to establish that kind of a pattern. This does show, though, that Hillary understood the significance of the collapse of that false narrative, and got her State Department staff to do pre-emptive oppo research on her behalf.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that this is just the first release of material. We will likely see more problems along the same lines, and that may or may not include issues of classification.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
