The two emails on Hillary Rodham Clinton... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as
Another Walter Q. Gresham...
's private server that an auditor deemed "top secret" include a discussion of a news article detailing a U.S. drone operation and a separate conversation that could point back to highly classified material in an improper manner or merely reflect information collected independently, U.S. officials who have reviewed the correspondence told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
The sourcing of the information could have significant political implications as the 2016 presidential campaign heats up. Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, agreed this week to turn over to the FBI the private server she used as secretary of state, and Republicans in Congress have seized on the involvement of federal law enforcement as a sign that she was either negligent with the nation's secrets or worse.
On Monday, the inspector general for the 17 spy agencies that make up what is known as the intelligence community told Congress that two of 40 emails in a random sample of the 30,000 emails Clinton gave the State Department for review contained information deemed "Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information," one of the government's highest levels of classification.
The two emails were marked classified after consultations with the CIA, which is where the material originated, officials said.
As the Federal investigation proceeds in the days and weeks ahead, the Beest's illegal declassification and dissemination apparatus will be unmasked. The foot soldiers who kept quiet and said nothing will be the first to come under fire by the DoS IG and FBI, then the Beest's inner circle. Clinton stepping down will save none of them, the damage is too pervasive. If Beest's disregard for the law and criminality are left unpunished, the security of the entire intelligence community will be destroyed. This cannot, and must not happen.
If it is discovered in the Damage Assessment phase [which is undoubtedly ongoing right now], that classified materials were emailed on an UNCLAS box, or provided 'hard copy' to NON-US personnel by the Beest or her inner circle, an entirely new level of Foreign Disclosure violations and potential espionage will have emerged.
If Goudy discovers emails that relate to Benghazi..... well, anything could and may happen.
I do not see how the DoJ and Gov't can back down at this point, and I do not see how the Beest can survive what appears to be the inevitable.
