(32,886 posts)This entire nonsense was predicated on Hillary being able to tell the future in two respects, knowing that someone was about to send her an email and knowing that at some point in the future, the contents of that email was going to be considered classified.
Content that is later classified is pretty regularly sent to non-secure emails throughout all agencies and branches of the government. It's one of the challenges for those trying to protect sensitive information and its a tough challenge to resolve because you can't tell the future. It's as simple as that.
What Comey's testimony to congress yesterday told us is that there was no way for Hillary to know that the 100 or so emails were classified. That is nothing like what the whistleblowers or Petreus did and would be completely ridiculous to prosecute her for.
