Hillary Clinton claims that using her own unsecure private email account was OK, in part because she sent no classified information and thus her emails didn't need to be secure.
Yesterday, the NY Times claimed that two inspectors general of the State Department asked the DOJ to open a criminal investigation on Hillary Clinton because she did indeed send classified information using that her own private email account.
Today I'm told that the reality is totally different: yes, the inspectors found that 10% of 40 emails sampled from from Hillary's private account did contain classified information that is illegal to send over private email. But they don't know if Hillary knew the info was classified.
So it looks like roughly 10% of Hillary's private emails contained classified info which should not have been sent using private email, but we don't know if Hillary did this on purpose. Whew, no problem there.
So if Hillary wins our primaries, she'll have a great answer when her Republican points out that as SoS she sent thousands of personal emails containing national secrets, she'll have a great answer: "I didn't know they were state secrets"
OK.
(Not to mention that using a single private account set up by Goddess-knows-who for all of her State Department and personal business is, on its face, about the craziest thing I ever heard of, but I understand that I'm one of a very few who feels this way.)
