Dept of State, John Kirby: two emails marked classified were the result of “human error"

https://bluenationreview.com/revelation-of-classified-marking-error-supports-hillary-on-emails/



At a press briefing, State Department spokesman John Kirby said two emails (mentioned by Comey) marked classified were the result of “human error.”

Comey had said in his statement: “Only a very small number of the e-mails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information.” The New York Times nailed down that “very small number” to two:


While [Comey] did not identify any, he was evidently referring to two emails that one of Mrs. Clinton’s close aides, Monica R. Hanley, sent to prepare her for telephone calls with foreign leaders, according to a State Department official familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss classified information. One email, dated Aug. 2, 2012, noted that Kofi Annan, the former secretary general of the United Nations, was stepping down as special envoy trying to mediate the war in Syria. A second one, sent in April 2012, discussed Mrs. Clinton’s call to the newly inaugurated president of Malawi.

went far beyond just what were the facts and the recommendation, and included conjectures and opinions.

Or, you know, Comey is stupid. I can go either way.
