2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Three f**king emails classified [View all]IllinoisBirdWatcher
(2,315 posts)7. Comey admitted that the 3 emails were NOT marked classified as required by government standards
Sadly that was in response to clarifying questions from Democrats and has not been replayed in the sound bytes.
And two of the three were deemed not classified by the State Department.
That leaves a total of ONE email out of 30,000 which was deemed classified after the fact because one or more paragraphs had a (c) embedded in them, yet was never properly marked as classified.
Mountains out of tiny molehills.

I've come to the conclusion. They have to give some negative coverage to Hillary to not seem bias.

If Obama hadn't been too clever appointing a frigging rethuglican this wouldn't be an issue now.
