This also illustrates how insane Classifying stuff has become.

Look, if it’s in the Friggin’ New York Times and on CNN, it’s not a secret anymore-- you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

Continuing to consider that stuff Classified makes a mockery of the Classification system.

Just people doing what they normally do with power - abuse it.

Agreed 100%, but I would also note that numerous people on here would be going ballistic about this if it was a Republican.

But indeed, this appears to be a non-story. Hillary totally screwed up using a private server, no doubt. It just did not look good. But I have seen zero evidence of any “crime”.

She’s looking fierce, though. Am I right?

I don’t think accusing the inspector general of trying to destroy her is going to come off very well. I’ve been ignoring this pseudo-scandal because it’s such obvious b.s. but Hillary really isn’t handling it well at all.

"Beyond ‘Top Secret,’ eh? Like ‘Super-Duper Secret?’

This is getting goofy but if the opposition can keep this alive long enough in hope of the FBI deciding to investigate, then their mission will be accomplished.

I’m surprised we don’t hear much about the Clinton Foundation Scandal.

My sister and I would be able to get to the bottom of all this – after all, we always were able to find where our dad was hiding his stash of porn. :smile:

So let me get this straight the Inspector’s Office looking into the possibility of the improper handling of classified materials has had multiple leaks relating to said investigation? Sounds like somebody needs to get the security of their own department/office in order.

Many decades ago, when I was a young lawyer I worked for a government agency. I was assigned at one point to working with a senior lawyer on a particular matter that involved classified material. When I opened the first classified file, it had one document in it: a New York Times article.

Or maybe they’re deliberate leaks by the Inspector’s Office.

If the right wing media scream loudly and relentlessly that Bill Clinton is in actuality a lizard man from the Planet Xanax, Mara Liasson will demand, on NPR, that Hillary explain how she managed to get him here in violation of endangered species importation laws and does he have to bask under a heat lamp on cold mornings?

Believe it or not, there are actually classifications beyond top secret.

Which isn’t any better and still calls for someone sorting out what is going on with the Inspector’s Office.

What does this tired cliche imply or even mean? Numerous, huh? Ballistic, really? How horrific our longed for steady state Brownian motion could be perturbed by this…this…woman.
You know, numerous bananas would be ripening if this was ethylene gas…Damn bananas.
