She cited Kissinger as her "progressive" endorser in a debate, met him repeatedly, presented him with a prize, went to his tribute party, etc. etc. So Camboida.

As the senator from New York she cast an essential vote for going to war against the "wrong" country. As SoS she pushed hardest for the insane destruction of Libya without a plan for the day after, which Obama calls his biggest mistake.

Iran/Contra, we can leave her out of. She would have been a very minor player at most.

I agree, the e-mail story is small potatoes by comparison. What's a mere felony on exaggerated "national security" grounds compared to all that approval of mass murder you just pinned on her? But if it stops the Clintonista machine from taking over again, might as well go with it.

As agency head she had full authority to declassify any state document. n/t pnwmom Jun 2016 #39

Most of the reports of this incident say that there is no evidence that any email pnwmom Jun 2016 #41
She would have had the authority. But that's irrelevant unless she actually did so. eomer Jun 2016 #42
There is no special procedure for doing so. So if she had wanted to declassify pnwmom Jun 2016 #44

Out of curiosity, why? Recursion Jun 2016 #36
Doesn't matter. As agency head she can declassify any State document pnwmom Jun 2016 #38
No, I don't. dchill Jun 2016 #45
Why do you think it was classified? (nt) Recursion Jun 2016 #54
The aide was attempting to send it over a secure channel... ljm2002 Jun 2016 #61
It could just as easily have been a document about an employee's promotion. randome Jun 2016 #63
Hmmm, let's see what is the "simplest explanation"... ljm2002 Jun 2016 #64
If we're not privy to all the facts, then we shouldn't be drawing conclusions. randome Jun 2016 #69

LOL, sorry, no. Hillary has the authority to declassify any state dept. doc pnwmom Jun 2016 #37
Feel free to cite a reference for that claim. Lizzie Poppet Jun 2016 #48

Interesting contradiction with that Executive Order. Lizzie Poppet Jun 2016 #51
Did you read my second link? That is about declassification authority pnwmom Jun 2016 #52
Laughable. There is a procedure to declassify a document. DesMoinesDem Jun 2016 #50
Who says it was a classified document? randome Jun 2016 #53
The person I was replying to said Hillary could declassify documents on the spot. DesMoinesDem Jun 2016 #56
Well, you stated your opinion rather than linking to anything. randome Jun 2016 #57
No, not maybe she could, maybe she couldn't. She couldn't. DesMoinesDem Jun 2016 #58

This was what caught my attention from the start... ljm2002 Jun 2016 #59
She asked for what to be sent non-securely? There is nothing to indicate the doc was classified. randome Jun 2016 #60
Well if it wasn't classified... ljm2002 Jun 2016 #62
It could have been something about an employee's promotion. randome Jun 2016 #66
I get the futility of splitting hairs over the actual outcome of the e-mail libdem4life Jun 2016 #67
Except the Clinton Foundation is a PUBLIC charity. randome Jun 2016 #68
Yep...the Koolaid runs deep. There are these things called shell libdem4life Jun 2016 #70
So what if millions were donated to the CF? The money does not go to the Clintons. randome Jun 2016 #71
