Hillary On Emails: There's No 'There' There'--7 Smoking Guns

By perfectly reasonable standards, there are so many smoking guns(on emails) now that Hillary is starting to resemble Annie Oakley.

A review by Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough found emails that contain “special access program” (SAP) information, which is available only on a “need to know” basis because exposure could put a human asset at risk.

For Clinton to claim that she didn’t know that she was sending or receiving SAP material because it wasn’t marked is tantamount to accusing herself of complete incompetence.
• Just two weeks ago, an email turned up in which Clinton told an underling to strip classification markings off a document so it could be sent electronically to her personal email account.
• She is also on record berating a staffer for not sending information she was told was “on the classified system.” Hillary’s response was “just email it.”
• Before that, several emails turned up that contained information deemed “born classified” — because it contained “foreign government information” and “foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States” — which again she should have known without any markings.
• She wrote several of them herself. In one, sent to special Middle East envoy George Mitchell in late 2009, everything after “George” was deemed classified. Since she created and sent these classified emails, she can’t claim that she wouldn’t have sent them if they had been marked.
• She claimed to have turned over every work-related email on her server, but it is now clear that she didn’t .
• Clinton has been caught in lies about the security of her email server. She initially claimed that the system “had numerous safeguards” and that there “were no security breaches.” Since then, we’ve learned thatit was far from secure and likely breached.
