State Dept. says 2 Clinton emails classified by mistake

Source: Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department says human error was responsible for a pair of Hillary Clinton emails the FBI identified as marked classified when they were sent.

Describing a somewhat opaque internal process, spokesman John Kirby says officials often mark "call sheets" at the confidential level when the secretary of state is considering whom he or she will call. Once the secretary decides to make the call, the call sheets would be no longer classified.

Kirby says the markings on the Clinton emails mentioned by FBI Director James Comey "were no longer necessary or appropriate" as Clinton already had decided to make the calls.

The call sheets prepare officials for diplomatic discussions. Kirby said Wednesday that the classification is designed to protect "the idea of the call itself."

Guess that means FBI's conclusion that those 2 emails were classified was a wrong assessment.

He can be removed by force but if done under HRC's term they will say its biased for his recent b.s. statement against her
But so the f what. That whole Regan, Bush nest of RW Organized Crime needs to be removed from our govt.
I don't doubt that HRC would do just that, which is why they wil never allow her to become President.
Their game ends with her & they know it.
That is what this is all about.

Gods will bless her courage to face down the RW Criminal Enterprise.
They are one Presidential election away from having it all.
Serious shite indeed..

.... Why aren't the Repubs clamoring for Comey's resignation? if he cannot indict HRC, he must be incompetent.
