| Should read "reclassified." [Rooters] Dozens of emails on the private email account that Hillary Clinton used when secretary of state were recently classified by the government, the State Department said on Friday, giving Republican critics more ammunition against the Democratic presidential hopeful.
Many of them were heavily redacted and marked as "confidential" only this week before they were made public, meaning that Clinton was not aware when she sent or received them that their content might later be regarded as classified.
If she is that dull, perhaps she has no business seeking a party nomination for president of the United States. Opponents accuse her of playing loose with secret information and transparency laws, but Clinton says she broke no laws or rules by eschewing a standard government email account. The 1,356 emails released on Friday were the third batch from 30,000 or so emails from Clinton's private account that she handed over to the State Department after she left office. She says she had another 30,000 emails deleted because they were private. A judge ordered the State Department to release in batches the 30,000 in its possession. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said government agencies that reviewed the latest collection before release deemed that 37 of them contain material that is "confidential," the lowest level of classification. Laws and regulations governing the handling of classified materials are obviously just for the little people. | ||
