Sarah Palin Crushes Hillary Clinton With Brutal Meme

Breitbart reports:

A review of emails found on Hillary Clinton’s private server has revealed dozens of instances in which she sent and received a type of information which is “born classified,” according to the government’s own rules.

Reuters looked at the classification markings which the State Department has added to emails already released from Clinton’s server and found markings which indicate they contain “foreign government information.” That’s a type of information relayed by a foreign government in confidence. Instances of foreign government information identified by Reuters include “privately shared comments by a prime minister, several foreign ministers and a foreign spy chief.”

J. William Leonard, a former director of the U.S. government’s Information Security Oversight Office, tells Reuters this type of information is “born classified.” He adds, “If a foreign minister just told the secretary of state something in confidence, by U.S. rules that is classified at the moment it’s in U.S. channels and U.S. possession.” Leonard tells Reuters any claim to the contrary by the State Department is “blowing smoke.”

Reuters identifies one instance which sounds very much like the situation Leonard describes. In an email dated 2009, the private secretary of British foreign minister David Miliband wrote that Miliband “very much wants the Secretary (only) to see this note.” The email was sent to Hillary’s aide Huma Abedin and then forwarded on to Hillary. The next five pages of the email–which contain the confidential message for Secretary Clinton–are completely redacted.

Asked about the classification rules for foreign government information, a spokesman for the State Deparment first claimed Reuters was making “outlandish accusations.” Later, the same spokesman, in an email to Reuters, wrote, “We do not have the ability to go back and recreate all of the various factors that would have gone into the determinations.”
