Breaking: AP on Clinton emails

It doesn't mean they were top secret when she sent them...

This.

Not every email should be released. If they include information that is classified, you obviously don't want that out in the public sphere, and if the State Department did release them, I'm pretty sure it would be a crime.

You know, what I most appreciate about the situation is that as much as we go on about "Clinton's unsecured private email server", in reality, the "secure" State Department's server was breached during her time at the State Department whereas her private server was not. So far, nothing of even dubious legality has been revealed, and there have been so many false alarms from the usual suspects that it's almost impossible to know what is true and what isn't which I think is the point. Most people don't even have a cursory understanding of the classification system (which this thread shows), and that leaves them open to manipulation by the media and the right, both of whom always love a scandal with too many details to really understand. The people that trumpeted every FBI update and "Obama administration admission" will be the same fools to turn around and attack those same sources when Clinton is cleared of any wrong doing and no indictment ever materializes. But that was never the point, because people got what they wanted by just chanting Clinton's emails over and over until it became an almost meaningless and frankly slanderous attack.

Continuing the narrative of "the messages weren't marked top secret, so Hillary did nothing wrong". Folks, Clinton was the Secretary of State, which means she acts as a classifying authority. Yes, this means she is able to determine when the content of a message rises to the level of top secret. Do you understand?

So this means Clinton, as Secretary of State, is incapable of violating classification laws due to the fact that she is a classifying authority?
