The Internet<\/a> has gone a bit crazy (as it sometimes does) about new Hillary Clinton emails released that show her instructing someone to remove the classified header and footing from a classified document<\/a> and then send it over a regular fax machine<\/a>. That is a serious offense that would send an ordinary citizen to jail. Therein lies the problem–Hillary Clinton is not an ordinary citizen. That is not a problem for Hillary–that is a problem for America. Somehow we have forgotten the concept of equal justice under the law.<\/p>\n

In a thread from June 2011, Hillary exchanges e-mails with Jake Sullivan, then her deputy chief of staff and now her campaign foreign-policy adviser, in which she impatiently waits for a set of talking points.

I don’t even have the words to tell you how much of a ‘no-no’ that is when dealing with classified information. The relevant criminal (yes, I said criminal) statutes are posted in the article at Hot Air.<\/p>\n

There is an update to the article at Hot Air that concludes:<\/p>\n

Update: There are a few people wondering whether the \u201cTPs\u201d (talking points\u201d) in question in this thread were classified in the first place. There are a couple points to remember in that context:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
