There's not just a single system. There are several. Most State Department email addresses will end in ".gov" That system is authorized to process unclassified electronic mail. Some traffic will be purely routine correspondence. Some will be "Sensitive But Unclassified." (SBU). Some will be "For Official Use Only" (FOUO). There is another email system that ends in ".sgov" That system deal with Confidential and Secret traffic. There is also another system that deals with Top Secret information. Those three systems DO NOT talk to each other. The SECRET and TOP SECRET systems are closed. You cannot send an email from a SECRET system to a TOP SECRET system nor vice versa. You can send nothing from them to the unclassified email system. The unclassified system can send and receive traffic from what is commonly called "the dirty internet." As an example, we are using the dirty internet right now. The problems begin when people try to circumvent these rigid and protected systems by paraphrasing or retyping information that is classified in order to transmit it on an unclassified system. That is a clear violation of policy, law and regulation. It is hard to prove in court the way the law is written but everyone knows that you are not allowed to do it. By virtue that only a few out of thousands of emails were found to have classification markings on them tells me that they all knew what they were doing and went to great pains to cover the trail. Further, information is classified at the time it is produced and classified by the producer. If you take information that you know is classified and transmit in the clear you are violating the established regulations, laws and policies. Just because information was marked classified later does not relieve the sender and receiver of their obligations to protect it. A case in point is that no one in the military is allowed to view the documents on Wikileaks. That information was leaked but it remains classified. To view it or store it on an unauthorized device is a violation and one will lose their security clearance and possibly be prosecuted. It really is that serious. I believe that we can agree that there were many emails on her server that were/are classified. Let's assume that no one ever found out about her basement server. Would those emails be classified or unclassified? Of course they would be classified. They were always classified. They simply never received the markings and protection they required because they were prepared, transmitted and stored on a server that was not authorized to store classified information and no one but the perpetrators knew about it. I don't believe she had any criminal intent and as far as we know now, her server was not compromised. Of course if a foreign government compromised the US SecState's email I seriously doubt they would issue a press release. They would use that information to enhance their own policies and positions. The bottom line is that she mishandled classified information and then threw up a huge smoke screen of technicalities and jargon to completely confuse the issue. Should she be prosecuted for it? Not my call. In my opinion, there is no possible way that after two terms as FLOTUS one term as a US Senator (on the Armed Services Committee) and a term as the Secretary of State that she did not fully understand her responsibility to safeguard classified material. We all know that what she did was wrong. We all know that she got away with it. It's over and done with. Let's move on but let's just not pretend that she's innocent as the driven snow. She knew full well what she was doing, she knew it was wrong and she did it anyway. If she truly didn't know then she is certainly not prepared to be POTUS.Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319193419398898456noreply@blogger.com
