The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: Now this is where the mendacious lying comes in.

Yeah, from you.

Sweet baby Jesus, it's like you guys don't even read your own links.

From your link: Most seriously, the inspector general assessed that Clinton's emails included information that was highly classified -- yet mislabeled as unclassified. And the information wasn't mislabeled, it was later up-classified.

As I said, somebody else sent Clinton information via email that wasn't considered classified when sent, wasn't marked classified at the time because it wasn't considered classified at the time.

Here, from a more reputable news source: Neither of the two emails sent to Hillary Rodham Clinton now labeled by intelligence agencies as 'top secret' contained information that would jump out to experts as particularly sensitive, according to several government officials.

One included a discussion of a U.S. drone strike, part of a covert program that is widely known and discussed. A second conversation could have improperly referred to highly classified material, but it also could have reflected information collected independently, U.S. officials who have reviewed the correspondence told The Associated Press.


Also...

Clinton didn't transmit the sensitive information herself, they said, and nothing in the emails she received makes direct reference to communications intercepts, confidential intelligence methods or any other form of sensitive sourcing.

Dope1: TK/SCI material never leaves the SCIF and is ALWAYS marked with the appropriate classification marks. Hillary! or somebody else 1) removed it from the air-gapped system and then 2) removed the classification marks.

Clearly, it was not marked classified at the time. Everyone agrees on that point. Comey testified, under oath, to Congress that in the end there were no documents correctly marked classified on her server and only three that had a (c) in the body of the text but no correct classification markings.

None.

The satellite information was published in a New York Times article, for crying out loud. How much more public can information get than being in the newspaper?
