12. I think the stuff might have been a result of her own access--the problem is, it didn't belong on

her laptop...

We'll just have to wait to find out what the stuff actually was and where she got it. If she got it from Petraeus, I smell toast.

Her writing sentences that contain information that the US has classified does not always make that material classified (you can find a lot of "classified" material in foreign language publications, for example; and it is incumbent upon the imparter of the material to make the classification level of the conversation clear). However, if she's got copies of message traffic on her computer that is classified, with classification markings assigned, that's a different situation.

It's a very curious case, certainly.

FBI search grabs EVERYTHING, boxes it up, for later examination. dixiegrrrrl Nov 2012 #19
My two cents, it's going to come out she is a Spy, no other explination for the boxes of material. sarcasmo Nov 2012 #21
I read somewhere else that she had her own security clearance, pnwmom Nov 2012 #10
