2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt's not a flip-flop. Seriously, let it go.
"Tired of hearing about your damn emails" is a statement about the media's excessive coverage of scandal over substance. It makes no statement on the worth of an investigation.
"I think the investigation should continue" is not a statement about the media's obsession with scandal over substance. It's a statement on the worth of the investigation.
Look, I think the email nonsense is one of the biggest nonissues in this whole cycle, but what Sanders said is not a flip flop, and we need to just let it go.

(61,420 posts)I was impressed by Bernie's statement during the debate. I thought it was classy, gracious, and showed a good sense of substance over sound bite.
Now he's completely undone all that good will. His words won't make a difference to the committee. At this point it looks like a cheap shot, an effort to resurrect a Republican smear campaign.
I'm disappointed.
Bleacher Creature
(11,237 posts)The email investigation has always been a joke. Sanders' statement suggests that it's a real issue, which only feeds into the GOP narrative. I'm not surprised anymore when I see his supporters adopt Republican TPs, but I always saw him as being above doing it himself.
Fawke Em
(11,366 posts)Why do so many people here not understand that the FBI investigation isn't about emails, for Pete's sake?
It's about holding classified information on an unsecure server that did not meet the government's protocol.
It's not about Gowdy and the Republican idiots on the Benghazi committee.
But it's also not a joke.
The FBI are real investigators and they are conducting a real digital forensics investigation. They may very well find she did nothing wrong. They may find she did. I don't know, but I do know being investigated by the FBI is a far cry from being "investigated" by your political enemies.

(850 posts)It is about her email server, although she is not the target. However you want to slice and dice it, the investigation does revolve around her server. Not the target doesn't mean that she can't be implicated, it just means they are looking into the server, and if things go down the wrong road then it could still end up in her lap.

(14,378 posts)the FBI is running an investigation on her behalf, not an investigation into her.

http://crooksandliars.com/2015/11/clinton-cleared-sending-highly-classified
The U.S. intelligence community has retreated from claims that two emails in Hillary Clintons private account contained top secret information, a source familiar with the situation told POLITICO.
The determination came from Director of National Intelligence James Clappers office and concluded that the two emails did not include highly classified intelligence secrets. Concerns about the emails' classification helped trigger an on-going FBI inquiry into Clinton's private email set-up.
The closer you look the less there is to see. I find it hard to believe that anyone who lived through the 90s could think that there was any "there there" in the first place.
notadmblnd
(23,720 posts)if they admit that his statement about the FBI investigation has nothing to do with his statement in regards to the media's attention to the emails, there will be one less reason to continue their faux outrage. Can't be having that if playing the victim card to gain sympathy is their strategy to get the win- they have to accuse Senator Sanders of everything in the book.
Fawke Em
(11,366 posts)He did say he and the American public are tired of the media obsessing over emails and not focusing on issues, but right after the debate, he agreed that the FBI should be allowed to proceed with their investigation (like he could stop it, anyway).
This is the media twisting his words. You should know how they operate.

jeff47
(26,549 posts)Though I can see why you'd be confused. Clinton's supporters have spent a lot of time and effort trying to convince everyone that classified information in Clinton's email is only about Benghazi.
The DNI IG thinks that classified information was mishandled. The State Department disagrees. So the FBI is investigating. Congress is not involved in the FBI investigation.

(11,417 posts)If anything was labeled classified it was after the emails were turned over.
You keep using the right wing talking points
jeff47
(26,549 posts)This is drilled repeatedly in the training you are required to take when you are given access to classified information. You are also told the criteria for information to be classified, so that you are able to spot improperly marked information.
So "It didn't say (TS/SCI) in front of it in the email!!!" is not actually a defense.
No, I keep using actual regulations, executive orders and laws. You don't like the result of that, so you label them right-wing talking points.

Oilwellian
(12,647 posts)I'm amazed to see Clinton supporters are in the dark on this very serious issue. I don't think it'll be going away anytime soon, and it is, quite frankly, a problem for her campaign.
As pressure builds on Hillary Clinton to explain her official use of personal email while serving as secretary of state, she faced new complications Tuesday. It was disclosed her top aides are being drawn into a burgeoning federal inquiry and that two emails on her private account have been classified as Top Secret.
The inspector general for the Intelligence Community notified senior members of Congress that two of four classified emails discovered on the server Clinton maintained at her New York home contained material deemed to be in one of the highest security classifications - more sensitive than previously known.
The notice came as the State Department inspector generals office acknowledged that it is reviewing the use of personal communications hardware and software by Clintons former top aides after requests from Congress.
We will follow the facts wherever they lead, to include former aides and associates, as appropriate, said Douglas Welty, a spokesman for the State Departments inspector general.
Despite the acknowledgment, the State Department inspector generals office has left numerous unanswered questions, including exactly who and what is being investigated. The office initially declined to comment and referred questions to the Intelligence Community inspector generals office, which said it is not currently involved in any inquiry into aides and is being denied full access to aides emails by the State Department. Clinton, herself, is not a target.
The expanding inquiry threatens to further erode Clintons standing as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Since her reliance on private email was revealed in March, polls in crucial swing states show that increasing numbers of voters say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy, in part, because of her use of private emails.

(11,417 posts)Clinton must have encountered classified information as secretary of state on a daily basis, said Liza Goitein, co-director of the Brennan Center for Justices Liberty and National Security Program. The emails released so far dont have labels marking them classified when sent, which supports Clintons argument.
"The fact that no emails on her personal server were marked as classified suggests that she generally was doing her classified business on the secure government servers dedicated to that purpose," she said.

Hillary generated the classified information in her emails and then sent that classified information from her private email account. It was SHE who didn't label the emails properly, much less use a secured server when she sent them.
Did you know the "private" emails she thought she destroyed, were unknowingly stored on the Cloud and are now in the hands of the FBI and Senate Intel Committee? This story is building. It's not going away.

(6,409 posts)We should investigate the common practice of government officials using personal accounts to conduct official business. What are the consequences? Should we ban the practice? Should we let them do it and impose security measures? The current "investigation" has no interest in these questions. Gowdy and his buddies just want to discredit Hillary Clinton, so they will never gives us the information we need. The inquiry needs to be moved to a committee that has no political interests at stake, and that means not Congress.

Oilwellian
(12,647 posts)The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs committee is now investigating a possible breach of classified information, at the request of the IGs of State and Intelligence. This story will be firing up in the middle of the Dem primary. I hope it all comes out before Hillary is crowned our nominee. Can you imagine what the general election will look like if it all comes out after that happens?
WASHINGTONA Senate committee is probing whether a backup archive of former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons emails was created on the servers of a Connecticut company, whether it still exists, and what security measures were taken to protect it.
According to a letter released by Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.), chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, staffers for Mrs. Clinton purchased a server backup product from a data-protection company called Datto Inc. in 2013. Clinton staffers intended to back up her email archives on an on-site Datto device as well as a backup server controlled by server-management company Platte River Networks, which could function as an emergency server in case the primary one failed.
A technical glitch in the setup appears to have resulted in data instead being synced remotely to Dattos servers through the Internet.
Platte River discovered the mistake in August.
The potential of another backup to some portion of the emails from Mrs. Clintons tenure as secretary of state has piqued the interest of congressional investigators looking at Mrs. Clintons decision to use a personal email server for all her government business. It also raises anew the question of whether any of the roughly 30,000 emails that her attorneys deemed personal and were deleted could be recovered by government investigators. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has Mrs. Clintons server and is conducting a counterintelligence investigation of the potential mishandling of classified information, including forensic data recovery.

(26,549 posts)They are not investigating government officials using personal accounts. They are investigating if there is classified information in one particular set of personal accounts.
The DNI Inspector General thinks there is. The State Department thinks there isn't. So the FBI is investigating.
And they are not part of the FBI investigation.
It already was. The FBI is investigating, not Congress.
HassleCat
(6,409 posts)It sounded to me like Sanders was saying Gowdy and his merry pranksters should keep going. The FBI investigation has to continue, of course, since there is the possibility that classified information was kept on a personal server, and may have found its way to a place it wasn't supposed to be. But this sort of thing was common practice, and that's what really needs to be addressed.
jeff47
(26,549 posts)AFAIK, no one has pointed to any classified in personal accounts used by Powell, et al.
HassleCat
(6,409 posts)And it's too late now. But we know big people in the government and military have been careless with classified information. We just have not looked into the increased opportunity for carelessness presented by electronic communications.
jeff47
(26,549 posts)We actually have, which is why there's all sorts of restrictions, rules and training about using email by people with access to classified. It's also a major factor in why people were complaining about State's email service being cumbersome.
What's new is people are hearing about it, instead of random government employee #83647 being fired without a press release.

Reagan was never charged in connection with Iran Contra, the worst constitutional violation in our history. Bush and Cheney were never charged with lying to justify the Iraq war. And so it goes. We all know what really happened, and we know these guys committed crimes, and we were pretty sure from the very beginning that they would not be held to account. So, wishful thinking, yes.
Fawke Em
(11,366 posts)However, the FBI investigation into the security of the server isn't about "emails" and is a serious investigation. If the server contained classified info and wasn't properly security, it's no longer a "non issue."
That said, it may very well turn out there's nothing there, but that's why we should let the FBI do its job.

(20,166 posts)you are 100% correct:
I think the secretary is right. And that is that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.
The middle class, Anderson (Cooper), let me say something about the media as well. I go around the country, talk to a whole lot of people. Middle class in this country is collapsing. We have 27 million people living in poverty. We have massive wealth and inequality. It's cost us millions of decent jobs. The American people want to know whether we're going to have a democracy as a as a result. Enough of the emails. Let's talk about the real issues facing America.
It was obvious what Sanders was saying here. If there had been revelations about the emails, I would imagine Sanders would think that was fair game. However, there was nothing to talk about concerning emails that are still under investigation; the time should be spent discussing the bleak realities many people are experiencing right now, not on rhetorically dancing around idle speculations.
Of course, in most accounts I saw, everything after "your damn emails" was edited out.

The DNI IG thinks that classified information was sent in emails from her server, and stored on her server. The State Department disagrees. So the FBI is investigating.
You'll note that none of that involves Congressional Republicans.
But by claiming it's all about Congressional Republicans, some Clinton supporters can deflect from the atrocious job Clinton & Co did with the security of her server and whether or not Clinton and/or her aides improperly handled classified.

(2,154 posts)Why isn't the FBI examining Colin Powell's private server to see if he ever sent or received classified information improperly. Also, any former Sect of State that didn't have a private server had separate State Dept email networks for classified and unclassified information. Shouldn't they all be audited by the FBI to make sure they never sent or received classified emails improperly.
jeff47
(26,549 posts)Because no one has provided any evidence that he did.
The DNI IG says Clinton's server contained classified. That's evidence, and thus there is an investigation.
SunSeeker
(51,378 posts)You are regurgitating a right wing talking point. Many here have explained to you what the FBI is really doing here, which is to resolve a dispute between federal agencies about what should be declared classified after the fact for purposes of disclosure in response to PRA requests to the State Department stamina from the Benghazi investigation.
jeff47
(26,549 posts)Hence the FBI investigation, which will lead to a legal finding (either "no there wasn't" from the FBI, or "yes there was" via something like a trial).
No, that's what lead to the investigation.
The DNI IG is claiming the information was classified at the time. State disagrees.
The only after-the-fact aspect is the information is being marked classified after-the-fact. But information is classified whether or not it is properly marked. This is repeatedly drilled into people who are granted access to classified information - that unmarked information can be classified.
An example:
Someone without a clearance sends Clinton an email saying "John Smith is a CIA spy!". It's not marked, because the guy doesn't have a clearance. It's still classified TS/SCI/HUMINT even though it is unmarked. To follow "the rules", Clinton would have to report the email to the relevant security people and ensure the email is properly deleted from her server and any clients.
SunSeeker
(51,378 posts)There is no dispute that none of the emails were marked classified when she received them. You admit the investigation is not about Hillary. You are beating a dead horse, and not it looks like Bernie wants to be at it too.
jeff47
(26,549 posts)Marking removes ambiguity. Marking is not what makes the information classified.
It's about Clinton and her aides, since they're the ones who had accounts on the server.
Then why is the Obama's FBI still investigating?
SunSeeker
(51,378 posts)jeff47
(26,549 posts)They are investigating whether or not Clinton's server had classified information on it, and if it did who could be subject to a criminal investigation.
Could Clinton be subject to a criminal investigation? No. There's a hole in our espionage laws. You only break them if you:
1) Directly give classified to a foreign government
2) Sell classified
3) Allow classified to leak via negligence.
Clinton didn't do any of those. So she can't be charged with a crime. If she was random government employee #8031947 she would lose her clearance and be fired. But she no longer has a clearance, and she no longer works for the government.
Her IT guy, however, may be charged with a crime if the FBi finds classified on her server. He was extremely negligent with the security on her server. And do he pled the 5th.
SunSeeker
(51,378 posts)jeff47
(26,549 posts)'Cause I said they were not investigating Clinton, they were investigating her server.
SunSeeker
(51,378 posts)They are determining whether emails, never designated classified at the time Hillary received them, should be designated classified now, for purposes of production in response to FOIA requests to the State Department.
The IG reports had nothing to do with Hillary's handling of emails while Secretary of State. They were about the State Department FOIA staff's handling of emails for purposes of response to FOIA requests.
jeff47
(26,549 posts)Never marked as classified. Again, it isn't the markings that make them classified. The information is classified whether or not it is marked.
Again, a large part of the training when you get a clearance is how to recognize unmarked classified information.
Actually, they had everything to do with her time as SoS, because the DNI IG says they were classified at the time.
It's you that is confusing marking classified with being classified.
SunSeeker

(26,549 posts)You constantly conflate marking something classified as being classified.
You claimed "no finding", until you had to say there was a finding by the DNI IG.
And now you're trying to change the subject.
Boy, that doesn't seem like lying at all.
SunSeeker
(51,378 posts)Nothing I said was false. There was no "finding" in the IG reports, they just talk about what the IGs were tasked to do, which was basically to determine what should be turned over by the State Department in response to FOIA requests.
So when do you think Bernie is going to give his big socialism speech?
jeff47
(26,549 posts)Which kinda indicates one of your statements was false.
So Obama's FBI decided to investigate Clinton's server on a whim?
No, the IG is not involved in reviewing FOIA requests. That's handled by the normal information security personnel. The IG got involved because those personnel found classified, leading to an investigation by the IG. Which found enough to turn it over to the FBI.
Unless you want to claim Obama's administration is deliberately hurting Clinton.
Btw, the more you try to change the subject, the more you show everyone you don't know anything about this subject.
SunSeeker
(51,378 posts)He was supposed to be all about the issues and didn't care about Hillary's "damn emails." But now, after he failed to gain traction after the debate, he is more than happy to talk about Hillary's emails, but not his socialist ideals. Go figure.
The IG reports describe what the IGs were tasked to do, they are not "findings." This video by journalist Kurt Eichenwald explains what the FBI is actually doing better than anything I've seen, and shows the actual IG reports that all these stories are based on.
The IG reports had nothing to do with Hillary's handling of emails while Secretary of State. They were about the State Department FOIA staff's handling of emails for purposes of response to FOIA requests.
The whole meme of referring to what the IG is doing as an "FBI investigation of Clinton" has been thoroughly discredited, but I can see that some Sanders supporters are pretty desperate. Alas, it will only get worse until he finally concedes and endorses Hillary.

(51,378 posts)The reporter was clearly referring to the Benghazi committe investigation of Hillary's emails (the FBI is not investigating Hillary):
In his most explicit critique of Hillary Clinton's email controversy to date, Democratic presidential rival Bernie Sanders told The Wall Street Journal that if the former secretary of state skirted public-records requests or compromised classified information, concerns about the issue are "valid questions."
Asked whether he regretted his remark that the American people are sick of hearing about her "damn emails" during the last debate, Sanders said in the Wednesday interview that he did not and that the investigation should "proceed unimpeded."
