Clinton Campaign Seeks To Calm Supporters About Emails

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A day after Hillary Rodham Clinton turned her personal email server over to the Justice Department, her campaign assured supporters that the Democratic presidential candidate did not send classified information over her private account.

In a message sent to campaign backers, communications director Jen Palmieri dismissed inquires by Congress and federal agencies into Clinton's use of a private account while she was secretary of state as partisan attacks "designed to do political damage to Hillary in the run-up to the election." Palmieri stressed that Clinton is not facing a criminal investigation and said she remains "committed to cooperating" with federal investigations into her private account.

"The bottom line: This kind of nonsense comes with the territory of running for president," Palmieri wrote. "We know it, Hillary knows it, and we expect it to continue from now until Election Day."

Federal investigators have begun looking into the security of Clinton's email setup after the inspector general of the U.S. intelligence agencies said that classified information may have passed through the system. There is no evidence she used encryption to prevent prying eyes from accessing the emails or her personal server.

Two emails that traversed Clinton's personal system contained information that had been designated "top secret" and "sensitive compartmented information," one of the government's highest classification ratings, U.S. officials said.

These aren't messages that were classified after the fact. And if she was storing messages later classified secret on an unsecured server, that's an additional problem.
Hillary can whitewash the email scandal to her supporters, but the fact remains it's going to be an growing problem for her that's not going away by wishfull thinking.

She said there were no classified emails, that was a lie. She said all emails had been destroyed after she gave her cherry picked set to State, that was a lie.

How any purpoted liberal can not see trough her is beyond me. She is a power hungry liar.
