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

So let us know when she claims she declassified the information at issue. eomer Jun 2016 #40

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

No it's not a pretty good indication of that. Recursion Jun 2016 #65

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

Here: pnwmom Jun 2016 #49

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

Getting reeeeally desperate here. The secure fax went down, and you think Hillary is going YouDig Jun 2016 #43

I'm pretty sure the Guccifer Fairy is still coming, though! randome Jun 2016 #46

Come on FBI, let's get this show on the road. pdsimdars Jun 2016 #47

I think that is just the tip of the iceberg. BillZBubb Jun 2016 #55

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
