Myths And Facts On Hillary Clinton's Email And Reports Of "Top Secret" Materials (HILLARY GROUP)

Last edited Fri Aug 14, 2015, 09:03 PM - Edit history (1)

Media are exploiting news that two emails Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton turned over to the State Department from her time as secretary of state may be retroactively classified as "top secret" to push myths about Clinton's handling of government information and scandalize her email use. Here are the facts.

FACT: None Of The Emails Sent To Clinton Were Labeled As "Classified" Or "Top Secret"

FACT: Emails Originated In State Dept. System, And Questions About Retroactive Classification Would Have Occurred Regardless Of Clinton's Server Use

FACT: Experts Have Debunked Any Comparison Between Clinton's Email Use And David Petraeus' Crimes

FACT: IG Referral To Justice Department Was Not Criminal, And FBI Isn't Targeting Clinton Herself....

Much supporting evidence follows at link: http://mediamatters.org/research/2015/08/12/myths-and-facts-on-hillary-clintons-email-and-r/204913 via Media Matters

I'm not as convinced the FBI, CIA, and NSA are always "honest", but in this case they may have to do the job.

Thanks for the link.

are the people that already have a deep-seeded hatred for Hillary. She could walk on water and she would have people complain that she didn't wash her feet.
