More at link. Too much work to repack everything here, including image of the email.Has the State Department released a smoking gun in the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal? In a thread from June 2011, Hillary exchanges e-mails with Jake Sullivan, then her deputy chief of staff and now her campaign foreign-policy adviser, in which she impatiently waits for a set of talking points. When Sullivan tells her that the source is having trouble with the secure fax, Hillary then orders Sullivan to have the data stripped of its markings and sent through a non-secure channel.
That should be game, set, and match, yes?
"If they can't, turn into nonpaper w no identifying heading and send nonsecure." That's an order to violate the laws handling classified material. There is no other way to read that demand. Regardless of whether or not Sullivan complied, this demolishes Hillary's claim to be ignorant of marking issues, as well as strongly suggests that the other thousand-plus instances where this did occur likely came under her direction.
Did those talking points get illegally transmitted on Hillary's order? If so, then Sullivan may find himself in legal trouble, too. Paragraph (g) makes it clear that "each of the parties to such conspiracy shall be subject to the punishment provided for the offense which is the object of such conspiracy."
This explains why more than a thousand pieces of classified information have found their way into Hillary's unauthorized and unsecured e-mail system -- and why the markings have been stripped from them. Hillary herself apparently ordered the Code Red, so to speak.
