[Daily Caller] Emails released by the State Department on Friday show that in 2011, then-Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry sent then-Sec. of State Hillary Clinton an email from his iPad that has been deemed to contain information classified as "Secret."
While previous releases of Clinton's emails have shown that she and her staff communicated directly with Kerry when he was a senator, the new email is the first from Kerry that the State Department has determined contains sensitive information.
Kerry has largely been silent throughout the Clinton email controversy. He has sent letters asking the State Department's inspector general to review the agency's records keeping practices, but he has not publicly criticized Clinton for exclusively using a personal email account and a home-brew email server.
[Daily Caller] The State Department is withholding 18 emails between former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama, agency spokesman John Kirby said Friday.
The news comes at the same time that the State Department announced that 22 of Clinton's emails contain "top secret" information. That's a far higher number than had previously been disclosed. The agency's Freedom of Information Act department is withholding seven email chains in full in order to protect the highly classified information.
As was predicted here months ago, Champ [and the White House Communications Detachment] was very likely aware and a co-participant in the Beest's email violations. Expect 'Executive Privilege' defense and White House directed investigation into alleged 'over-classifications' to be issued very soon.
With Snowden, Chinese hackers, the White House, the Beest, Mills and Blumenthal, the wholesale compromise and destruction of the National Communications Security (COMSEC) system is nearly complete.

The Beest knew what she was doing, and so did the rest. She was briefed and 'read-off' of SI, G, TK, and HCS on the date provided on the NDA below, which means she was very obviously briefed and 'read-on' to the programs at one point as well:

The FBI should send over those nice boys that shot up those ranchers. They know how to follow orders.

Lynch will have little choice but to appoint a special prosecutor. If she fails to follow-up on a FBI request to prosecute she will make Nixon look like a piker.

Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter has decided not to impose any further punishment on David H. Petraeus, the former CIA director and retired Army general who was forced to resign in a sex-and-secrets scandal in 2012.
In a brief letter sent Friday to the leaders of the Senate’s Armed Services Committee, the Pentagon reported that Carter had agreed with the Army’s recommendation not to discipline Petraeus.
“Given the Army review, Secretary Carter considers this matter closed,” Stephen C. Hedger, assistant secretary of defense for legislative affairs, wrote in the three-sentence letter, obtained by The Washington Post. The letter did not elaborate.
The Pentagon letter was addressed to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), the chairman and top Democrat, respectively, of the Armed Services Committee.

There never was going to be any additional punishment. This is just a bit of kabuki theater designed to soften current and future email crisis inaction.

There's no correlation between the announcement of looking at post facto reduction and the man's appearance before a Senate committee to answer questions. Nope. None what so ever. Pure coincidence.

...Well, good for him, though I think he should have still eaten at least one star (and the retirement money payback) simply because he was an idiot who betrayed his wife and his position for a somewhat hot mama.
On the other hand, because he's keeping the stars, I now owe my dad ten bucks.

[Breitbart] President Obama is set to speak next week at a mosque which was led for over a decade by an Imam who justified suicide bombings in some circumstances and who helped found a mosque with ties to Al Qaeda.
The President will visit the Islamic Society of Baltimore on Wednesday and deliver remarks there, the White House confirmed on Saturday. This will be the first time the President has paid an official visit to a mosque during his seven years as President. However, Obama has toured mosques while on overseas trips.
"The president believes that one of our nation's greatest strengths is our rich diversity," White House spokesman Keith Maley said, confirming reports. "As the president has said, Muslim Americans are our friends, and neighbors; our co-workers, and sports heroes -- and our men and women in uniform defending our country."
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)--which has been declared a terrorist organization in the United Arab Emirates and was named by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation's Hamas-funding operation--welcomed Obama's decision.
