    No, but what I have noticed is that folks on the left seem to think they're using logic and reason when, in fact, it is just partisan belief and hope.

  2. well said. While others are concerned about who sleeps in the Whitehouse, many of us honest gamblers (oxymoron) must bet on 4 years of Hillary, so even if we win, the only thing we have to entertain us is this court drama.

  3. Logic and reason. Right or left. All depends on their reference origins and coordinate systems!

    1. Cute... you don't understand there are "authorized leaks" to real reporters like Herridge?

    2. I see no recent state dept source calling this pure speculation.
    you are referring to a state department comment from over the summer.
    If I am correct... you are running a disinformation campaign again.

    here is today's report... with a congressman also saying lives were risked.
    its not even about a leak...

    how could the state department have said this was speculation? Here is a Congressman on the intelligence committee. He was briefed on the info.
    did you actually look this up or were you just making shit up again?

    and if you watch the video, it shows Kerry had been using unsecured email accounts too.

    I know your buddy soros has spent a lot of money on hillary... but it is time for you to cut bait.

    This is completely incorrect. Government employees are required to do *all* government business on the government email system where a document retention system exists in compliance with federal law related to the FOIA. Additionally "non classified" government information is still regarded as "For Official Use Only" and is not to be disseminated to non-governmental entities.

    You speak authoritatively about matters you seem to have no actual experience or training on.

    It makes no difference whether it was marked or not. This is spin. In many situation, Hillary herself would have to determine whether or not something is Top Secret and have the document marked herself. She is spinning this to act like some other department has to mark it. That is not the case. She had the legal responsibility to determine what is and isn't top secret. It is the fucking secretary of state. Many of the emails that she typed would be top secret. The secretary of state doesn't type an email and then a some later date some other department determines the security level. The secretary of state determines the security level themselves.

    Not the greatest example below. Will find something later as well.

    In the small fraction of emails made public so far, Reuters has found at least 30 email threads from 2009, representing scores of individual emails, that include what the State Department's own "Classified" stamps now identify as so-called 'foreign government information.' The U.S. government defines this as any information, written or spoken, provided in confidence to U.S. officials by their foreign counterparts.

    This sort of information, which the department says Clinton both sent and received in her emails, is the only kind that must be "presumed" classified, in part to protect national security and the integrity of diplomatic interactions, according to U.S. regulations examined by Reuters.

    "It's born classified," said J. William Leonard, a former director of the U.S. government's Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO). Leonard was director of ISOO, part of the National Archives and Records Administration, from 2002 until 2008, and worked for both the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations.

    "If a foreign minister just told the secretary of state something in confidence, by U.S. rules that is classified at the moment it's in U.S. channels and U.S. possession," he said in a telephone interview, adding that for the State Department to say otherwise was "blowing smoke."
