| FBI: Clinton unclear about classification marking on documents |
| 2016-09-03 |
| [Pantagraph] WASHINGTON -- Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton relied on the judgments of her staff and others not to illegally send emails containing classified information to her private email server, and told FBI investigators she was unclear about a classification marking on official government documents. The revelation came Friday as the FBI, in a rare step, published scores of pages summarizing interviews with Clinton and her top aides from the FBI's recently closed criminal investigation into her use of a private email server in the basement her Chappaqua, New York, home. Clinton told the FBI she never sought or asked permission to use a private server or email address during her tenure as the nation's top diplomat, which violated federal records keeping policies. Clinton has repeatedly said her use of private email was allowed. But over 3 ½ hours in an interview in July, she told FBI investigators she "did not explicitly request permission to use a private server or email address," the FBI wrote. They said no one at the State Department raised concerns during her tenure, and that Clinton said everyone with whom she exchanged emails knew she was using a private email address. The documents also include technical details about how the private server was set up. It is the first disclosure of details provided by Bryan Pagliano, the technology staffer who set up and maintained Clinton's IT infrastructure. Pagliano secured an immunity agreement from the Justice Department after previously refusing to testify before Congress, invoking his constitutional right against self-incrimination. Large portions of the FBI documents were censored. The FBI cited exemptions protecting national security and investigative techniques. Previous government reviews of the 55,000 pages of emails Clinton returned to the State Department found that about 110 contained classified information. |

| #5 She's either a bald-faced liar or totally incompetent.... Yes, to both. Difficult to determine which has greater weight. |

| #4 It was a choice between appearing utterly incompetent and duplicitous or staring a federal indictment and potential conviction in the face; and the all but certain end of her political ambitions and career. One can only hope that the lies and deception have finally caught up with her. Then again, she's been able to squeeze through plenty of times in the past with the media in her pocket, which helps a lot. If the media cares at all about regaining its credibility, assuming that's even possible at this point, they will have no choice but to report this for what it is: She's either a bald-faced liar or totally incompetent and either should exclude her from the highest office in the land. |

| #3 I wonder if she realizes just how utterly incompetent her excuses are making her look. "I'm a complete and total idiot! Vote for me!" isn't exactly the smartest move she could make. But then, what else do we expect out of such a vile, inhuman harpy like her. |
