So, cons, you want to keep ignoring what your side did... as I've been posting for days now? Or is it going to be "but... but... but.... the SERVER..."

"Former Secretary of State Colin Powell and aides to his successor Condoleezza Rice both received classified emails on personal email accounts, the top Democrat on a key congressional oversight panel said on Thursday.

House Oversight Committee ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings said the disclosures about the emails were made by the State Department's Inspector General, who is reviewing email practices of five previous secretaries of state."

LMAO... TWO emails sent to Powell's private email that were later made classified. Nice try. When will admit that Hillary is a liar and crook? What does she or her family have to do before Dems will admit they are corrupt?

When will you stop ignoring what your side did? Kind of ironic post since you keep defending Hillary.

I haven't ignored what my side did, moron. Why don't you admit that nobody thought this was a problem until cons decided it was something they could pin on Hillary?

Do you understand the difference between TWO emails being classified AFTER the fact and TWELVE HUNDRED emails that were classified (some after the fact, but many were cut and pasted from a classified server to a non classified so that they could be sent to Hillary)?

The con argument is that all email is "born classified", guess Powell didn't get the birth announcement.

In a letter to Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy dated Feb. 3, State Department Inspector General Steve Linick said that the State Department has determined that 12 emails examined from State's archives contained national security information now classified "Secret" or "Confidential." The letter was read to NBC News. Two of the messages were sent to Powell's personal account, and 10 were sent to personal accounts of Rice's senior aides, the letter said...

...None of the messages were marked classified when originally sent, and none were determined to include information from the intelligence community, Linick said in the document.

"They were unclassified at the time, and they are, in my judgment, still unclassified," [Powell] said.

Democrats pounced on the revelation as proof that the investigation conducted into Clinton's emails is a political witch hunt.

"My concern has been that Republicans are spending millions of taxpayer dollars singling out Secretary Clinton because she is running for President—often leaking inaccurate information—while at the same time disregarding the actions of Republican Secretaries of State," said Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, in a statement.

"In fact, none of the emails Secretary Clinton received was marked classified, and we have seen no evidence that any previous Secretary of State used an official email account."

“Based on this new revelation, it is clear that the Republican investigations are nothing more than a transparent political attempt to use taxpayer funds to target the Democratic candidate for president.”

Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said two messages with now-classified information were sent to Mr. Powell’s private email account during his four years in office, while 10 messages were sent to aides of Ms. Rice. The emails were sent between 2003 and 2008, Mr. Cummings said, citing information from an inspector general.
Those 12 messages pale in comparison to the more than 1,500 messages Mrs. Clinton both received and sent during her four years in office that have now been deemed to contain classified information.
In none of the cases involving Mr. Powell, Mrs. Clinton or Ms. Rice’s aides was any of the information marked classified at the time, Mr. Cummings said.(irrelevant)

Clinton, using private server, wrote and sent e-mails now deemed classified.

Kerry sent 'secret' email to Clinton from personal account

--------------------------------------

So....whats the difference.....
12 messages compared to over 1500
AIDES to Rice and Colon Powell, RECEIVED, not sent
Classified vs. SECRET or TOP SECRET

Both Rice and Powell had gov. email address that should have been used, but they cannot
control the senders not using the correct channel's ..... its the senders that committed the wrong doing.....

Hillary had nothing but her personal email address on her OWN private server, thus by passing any government scrutiny of her communications....senders were "forced" to use her unsecured address and "forced" to by pass gov. oversight in communicating with her....

No, that is not the 'con argument'... but emails taken from the classified server and transferred to the non-classified is a problem. One you continue to pretend doesn't exist.

Thanks for proving the ones sent to Powell were not classified when sent.

Can you say the same for the 1200 classified emails Hillary got?

Just what I said, you're going to make it about the server. Are you claiming Powell's and Rice's classified email should be disregarded but Hillary should be prosecuted for hers? I mean, that double standard wouldn't surprise me.

Again Christie proves she is not intelligent enough to comprehend the difference between TWO and TWELVE HUNDRED.

IN fact, marked or unmarked is irrelevant and you should KNOW that.....so why keep repeating it....

These people should KNOW what subject and topics are sensitive material....if they don't, they shouldn't be in the job.....

Clinton not only received secret information, she actually SENT secret information.....that vastly different than the accusations against Powell or the aides of Rice, not Rice herself.

So all this is just another case of "do as we say and not as we do" from hypocritical Righties.

WOW!
 
No, that is not the 'con argument'... but emails taken from the classified server and transferred to the non-classified is a problem. One you continue to pretend doesn't exist.

You can pretend all you want but that is exactly what the cons on this site have been saying.

Can you say the same for the 1200 classified emails Hillary got?

Can you prove they were?

Hillary Clinton has said over and over again that there was no classified material on the private email server she used while secretary of state.

"I have said repeatedly that I did not send nor receive classified material, and I’m very confident that when this entire process plays out that will be understood by everyone," she said in Minneapolis in August.

"I can only repeat what happens to be the case-- that I did not send nor receive information that was marked classified at the time that it was sent or received," she said on Sept. 8 in an interview with ABC News.

Is that true? It’s hard to tell definitively, but so far we can’t prove Clinton wrong. We won’t be rating her statement on the Truth-O-Meter now, because investigations are ongoing."

Not at all.....Whoever sent classified material to Powell on a personal account broke the law....knowingly or unknowingly.....
Same with classified stuff to Rice's AIDES.....

Being Sec. of State and SENDING top secret information is a different kettle of fish.....and that goes for Kerry too.....he is supposed to KNOW what is secret and top secret...

Since the investigation is still ongoing, you can't claim with certainty that he didn't send any.
 
Classified AFTER THE FACT, just like Powell's.

Hilarious that you're trying to make this about quantity, not secrecy.

Except that only applies to SOME of Hillary's emails. Which is precisely what I stated above. It does NOT apply to ALL of them. They have emails where she told her aides to delete the 'classified' tag and send it to her anyway.
