You left off the last sentence of that paragraph: He said, regardless, the information was deemed too sensitive Friday for release.

Also from the article:

However, it is the responsibility of individual government officials to handle classified material appropriately, including by properly marking it as classified.

Your gal is skating on some pretty thin ice.

Those are interesting possibilities but they also would paint a picture of a party in disarray. Given the current crisis in the Republican Party, the Democrats would be wise to do anything they can to present an image of stable, crisis-free leadership.

Now, Biden has recently made some very favorable statements about Bernie, coming fairly close to a seeming endorsement. In the event of a terminal crisis, maybe the smart move is for Hillary to step aside and for the Biden, as well as Obama and the party, to get behind Sanders.

They've been writing this same story over and over at the Post and nothing has really changed.

It's clickbait.

Hillary's electability status has been now downgraded from flawed to damaged goods. Only thing she has or had going for her is her last name. Either way she was, is and will be NFG for the country despite all the fanfare.

This email saga of hers reeks of incompetence and being technically clueless. She would be lost in the WH even with a GPS.

Yawn...
So it's not just a matter of what did the State Dept classify, but when did they classify it?

Right. Classified after the fact by the intelligence community.

The American Psychiatric Association has identified a new malady afflicting the Beltway chattering punditry class.

Maureen Dowd Derangement Syndrome.

It's characterized by excessive drooling, screeching and the incessant gnawing of office furniture.

See: Jennifer Rubin wanna bees at the Washington Post.

I would love to replace Hillary with Uncle Joe, although I would stick with the Bern. As for that loser, Mr. Zero Charisma Kerry, fuggetabout it.
