"Kerry sent 'secret' email to Clinton from personal account"

The largely redacted May 19, 2011, email from Kerry — then the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee — “was sent from a non-official account,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said on Tuesday.
That account, Kirby added “is no longer active.”
The message referenced India, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and was classified for containing information about foreign governments and U.S. foreign relations.
“We all know this will be a troubled relationship because that is it’s [sic] nature,” he wrote in one unredacted section. “But there are real possibilities at this moment to put options to the test.”
Kerry’s email was classified at the “secret” level, which is a higher level than “confidential” but lower than “top secret”
A note at the bottom of the message indicates that it was sent from Kerry’s iPad.

If Kerry knew Hillary had her own email scheme everybody including our enemies knew. Except for our clueless news media... Of course.

Really, I have no problem with a Senator sending a private email, even if it is to talk shop, to the private email of the SecState. That it later was classified is one of the arguments Hillary and Dems will use to her defense that I would agree.

Now if the information Kerry sent was pulled from
classified sources he obtained through his position on the Senate committee, then that is a problem.

For me, this is just a nit. Hillary should be facing a Federal judge for telling a subordinate to remove classified markings. She should be held as morally incapable of holding a government position for developing a scheme to keep all her official duties hidden from taxpayers.

Monica Lewinsky released the following statement on Hilary Clinton's run for President:

"I will not vote for Hilary Clinton. The last Clinton presidency left a bad taste in my mouth. As we get closer to the 2016 election year, citizens must remember that they cannot trust Hillary Clinton to create American jobs. The last time she had a meaningful job, she outsourced it to me and I blew it." -- Monica

The above is from an email that I received, so need to check it out on Snopes, or whatever that website is.

red herring

Allen, the email I got said she got her knees and prayed [sic] that there will not be another Clinton administration to completion.

And the money shot is in her view the whole affair leaves an historic stain.

Democrat National Association has a gag on the subject saying its not a concern of DNA. Evidence to the contrary.

This is called the flourish. The prestige is the indictment. Wow, will you all look at this misdirection. It's fantastic.
