John Kerry: 'There's A Massive Amount Of Overclassification'

[Historic NY]

Secretary of State John Kerry defended his predecessor, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, from criticisms over her email practices on Thursday, saying there's "no evidence that something was transmitted that was classified at the time."

"First of all, I'm not commenting on the merits of this, generally speaking, because there's an investigation taking place," Kerry told The Huffington Post in an interview at the State Department. "My responsibility is to get the emails out of here as rapidly as possible so people can make judgments about them."

"But one of the judgments that can be made to date is that there is no evidence that something was transmitted that was classified at the time," he said.

Kerry also took issue with comparisons between Clinton and whistleblowers whom the government goes after for leaking classified information.

1. And John Kerry would have made a fine president, too.

He is just full of deliberate thought, deliberate action, and common sense. Also, he grasps the essentials of the email flap. Three cheers for him, and Sec. Clinton.
