It's very reasonable that she would have, along with staff, review sent, received and forwarded emails once the scandal broke and before lying about it.It's not reasonable to expect that a Secretary of State that receives tens of thousands of emails a year is going to check every email in a chain along with all attachments.If she "forwarded" an email with classified information, she did, in fact, send email with classified information, did she not?Oh, so now it doesn't make any difference. Got it!It makes little difference whether she originated the email or not. Most likely, if she didn't, the document was sent from a secure server. Had it been in turn forwarded to the same secure server, there would be no, or infinitesimally small chance of classified information getting into the wrong hands.Most of the emails sent by top government officials are replies and forwards. Typical an undersecretary, or someone on the staff would send an email with attached emails and documents for the boss to review or make a decision as to disposition. The boss would reply or forward, with a message. When you reply or forward all messages and attachments in the chain are sent. The FBI never made it clear whether the classified information in the Clinton emails were written by her or were just part of the chain attached to her message. If they were part of the chain, then I can understand why Clinton might say that she did not send any classified information because the classified information may have not been in the email she wrote but rather in the attached emails and documents which she may have not even read.We DO know a lot of what hillary clinton sent. According to the FBI Director, some of it was classified.
So, we really can't say what Powell sent, can we. Let's suppose he did send a classified document or 2. Does that make hillary sending secrets OK? THAT was the question you are avoiding, idiot.
Cain slew Abel. Did that make murder OK for everyone else? Or just for Democrats?
I can't really see someone at her level creating or attaching classified documents to her emails. It seems much more likely that classified documents were sent to her in email chains and she either replied or forwarded them.
Just like in this message chain there are 6 or 7 messages, the only message I read is one I'm replying to. I have no idea what is the other messages, yet when I rely they will all be sent with my reply.
Once the document left a secure server and landed on a sever in a basement bathroom in Chappaqua, national security was put at risk.
At interest here is protecting sensative information from getting into the wrong hands. RULES are in place to prevent that. hillary clinton violated the rules. It is irrelevant who originated an email chain or whether or not previous Secretaries of State used non government email servers. What IS relevant, is the fact that hillary clinton sent and received classified and other sensitive documents via an unsecured, non-government email server that she attempted to wipe clean once the story came out.
