New Hillary Email scandal: Hillary forwarded email with identity of CIA intel source.
From Yahoo Politics:
On March 18, 2011, Sidney Blumenthal — Clinton’s longtime friend and political adviser — sent the then secretary of state an email to her private account that contained apparently highly sensitive information he had received from Tyler Drumheller, a former top CIA official with whom Blumenthal at the time had a business relationship.
“Tyler spoke to a colleague currently at CIA, who told him the agency had been dependent for intelligence from [redacted due to sources and methods],” the email states, according to Gowdy’s letter.
The redacted information was “the name of a human source,” Gowdy wrote to his Democratic counterpart, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, and was therefore “some of the most protected information in our intelligence community.”
“Armed with that information, Secretary Clinton forwarded the email to a colleague — debunking her claim that she never sent any classified information from her private email address,” wrote Gowdy in a letter to Cummings.
Clinton has repeatedly said she never sent or received classified information on her private email server “that was marked classified at the time that it was sent or received.” But the FBI, at the request of the inspectors general for the intelligence community and the State Department, is investigating the handling of classified information on the private server.
And while there is nothing that indicates that the email from Blumenthal (who was not a government employee) was marked classified at the time Clinton received it, the sensitive nature of its contents should have been a red flag and never should have been passed along, according to a former veteran CIA officer.
“She is exposing the name of a guy who has a clandestine relationship with the CIA on her private, unprotected server,” said John Maguire, who served for years as one of the CIA’s top Mideast officers.
In addition, he noted, the email should trigger a “crimes report” by the CIA to the Justice Department seeking an investigation into who within the agency revealed the information to Drumheller.
“Unless Tyler was blowing smoke, it’s an unauthorized disclosure of information,” said John Rizzo, a former CIA general counsel. “And it’s the most sensitive kind of classified information — the identity of a human source. She should have told Blumenthal, ‘delete this — and don’t send me that again.’ And then she should have reported it to State Department security.”

I am sure my dear friend, left of cool, will sleep all she wants but that was kind of you to give her permission.
For that I give you a little

"Classified" is a governmental term with a special meaning. Even if the data wasn't classified, it could still contain information we don't want others to have.
Most businesses have some trade secrets. Those secrets aren't "classified" in the national security sense of the word, but you wouldn't want you intellectual property all over the Internet. That is "sensitive" or "private" information.
(Just adding to your post, jeff).
Gowdy!
You might want to check your source.
Next time try not to be so susceptible to Republican propaganda.
Other people in this thread showed healthy skepticism toward this story. You, on the other hand, wanted it to be true.
Next time me more skeptical of stories originating from Gowdy.
Trust Gowdy much?

I am extremely hurt by your calumny against me and my compadres on this board:
-Fawke Em
but I would be remiss in not giving you a big
and wishing you have a nice weekend.
With love,
DSB
And I would be remiss in not giving you a big internet and hope you have a nice weekend.
You know....consistency and all that.
I'm pretty good at fishing for old posts. If I look up some of your old posts about Snowden/Greenwald, surely they would show that you were opposed to that national security breach?
Here's a big internet
. I hope it makes you feel better.
How about a
and a 
?
I know you must be crushed that you can't trust the partisan Republican hack put in charge of an admitted witch hunt, so here's another one of those big Internet
Do I have your solemn word on that? Never, ever. So very excellent!
Can't be unkicked by the Top Dog.
Feel The Bern? . 
Support your candidate and advocate for them with passion. But forwarding RW talking points over and over again is not going to help your candidate.
Speaking the truth! 
I will have pizza, pop corn, and pop.
was trying to decide what I want for Thursday. I don't buy chips, dip, and cookies usually but made an exception. I didn't think about pizza but that is just a phone call away. Thanks for the idea.
Really looking forward to it.
As Hillary Clinton increases her lead in the polls expect the attacks on her to grow exponentially and become increasingly more untethered from reality.
This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen on DU.
It's not just Republicans who salivate at the opportunity to bring her down. They can keep dreaming, it's not going to work.
Hillary didn't debunk it, the CIA did, but you know that.
"We struck a blow for OUR side". 
would surely hide their heads in shame if real Democrats knew what they were up to.
I should have used a 
in my other post.
