Our national security??

[eddiew]

WTF are you blabbering about now?

all the Bs republicans are throwing at hill now while their mouths were shut as condo and powell did the same

Powell and Rice did NOT do the same thing you fucking retard. Educate yourself for God's sake

Hillary set up a private email server that she conducted government business from

Rice barely emailed at all, but when she did, she used the .gov email address provided to her for government business and her private email for private email.

Likewise, Powell used the .gov email address provided to him for government business and the private email for private email.

That being said, if either of them ACCIDENTLY sent or stored classified material from a private email address, that IS a crime.

You , and other idiots, are comparing apples to horse shoes and trying to say they are the same thing. They are not.

State Dept. Concludes Past Secretaries Of State "Definitively" Handled Classified Information On Private Email

ABC News detailed a final State Department investigation which concluded that past secretaries of state, including Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice's immediate staff, "handled classified material on unclassified email systems." The findings come as the FBI investigates a private email server used by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state.

For months, conservative media figures have attacked Clinton, baselessly accusing her of wrongdoing for receiving State Department emails on her private email account while secretary of state. On February 4, reports emerged that Colin Powell and aides to Condoleezza Rice also used private email accounts when they served under former President George W. Bush, and some of their emails similarly contained information that was retroactively classified.

The March 4 ABC News article reported that "a final memorandum" issued by "[t]he State Department's internal investigation arm" found that former secretaries of state "handled classified material on unclassified email systems." The State Department found that emails handled on private email accounts associated with Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice contain "information classified at the Secret or Confidential levels.'" Former Secretary Powell responded that those identified emails were not marked "'Confidential at the time and they were sent as unclassified,'" seemingly underscoring Secretary Clinton's defense that "the State Department is classifying documents too aggressively" (emphasis added):

The State Department's internal investigation arm issued a final memorandum today on the email practices of past and current secretaries of state, and it said definitively that past secretaries handled classified material on unclassified email systems.

The same claims were made in an early February memo when the State Department's inspector general first announced it was conducting a records review related to the email accounts of five secretaries of state -- Madeline Albright, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry -- and their immediate staff.

After closely examining a number of potentially sensitive emails with help from State Department and Intelligence Community officials, the State Department's inspector general concluded that 12 emails contain "national security information classified at the Secret or Confidential levels." Additionally, it was determined none of the emails contained intelligence information, meaning it was classified for other reasons.

The emails in question, as the inspector general has previously stated, came from Secretary Powell's personal email account and personal email accounts of Secretary Rice's immediate staff.

Reread

2 emails sent TO Powell's private email were determined to contain classified material. Receiving emails with classified material on them is not a crime.

Same with Rice, some of her aids RECEIVED classified emails on their private email.

If that were illegal, How easy would it be to just send classified emails to people you didn't like then call the FBI?

THAT being said, for the umpteenth time, if it is proven that either of them SENT classified material via their private email, charge them with a crime PERIOD.

pdated | A retired senior State Department military adviser claims that Hillary Clinton’s “sloppy communications with her senior staff” when she was secretary of state MAY have compromised at least two counterterrorism operations.

Bill Johnson, who was the State Department’s political adviser to the special operations section of the U.S. Pacific Command, or PACOM, in 2010 and 2011, says secret plans to eliminate the leader of a Filipino Islamist separatist group and intercept Chinese-made weapons components being smuggled into Iraq were repeatedly foiled.

Johnson says he and his team eliminated the possibility of other security leaks before settling on the unprotected telephone calls of the secretary of state and her aides as the likely source—though he quickly adds they have “no proof.” NO PROOF
