Numerous names cited in Clinton's emails have been redacted in State Department email releases with the classification code "B3 CIA PERS/ORG," a highly specialized classification that means the information, if released, would violate the Central Intelligence Act of 1949.
The State Department produced a document to Judicial Watch in April 2014 that identifies different types of "(b)(3)" redactions, including "CIA PERS/ORG," which it defines as information "Specifically exempted from disclosure by statute ... Central Intelligence Act of 1949."
"That's what it suggests," Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Breitbart News, referring to the indication that Clinton disclosed the names of CIA-protected intelligence sources, based on the B3 redactions.
The CIA justifies "(b)(3)" redactions with this description: "(b)(3) Applies to the Director's statutory obligations to protect from disclosure intelligence sources and methods, as well as the organization, functions, names, official titles, salaries, or numbers of personnel employed by the Agency, in accord with the National Security Act of 1947 and the CIA Act of 1949, respectively."
The State Department declined to comment. "Per the colleague who handles this issue, we are not speaking to the content of emails," State Department spokeswoman Nicole Thompson told Breitbart News.
Federal records reveal that Clinton swapped these highly classified names on an email account that was vulnerable to attack and was breached repeatedly by Russia-linked hacker attempts.
