Cheryl Mills Emailed Classified Information to Officials at The Clinton Foundation


As Hillary says, "One little drinkie-winkie won't hurt."
Hillary Clinton’s No. 2 at the State Department twice forwarded information to the Clinton Foundation that was later deemed classified, the latest instance of former Clinton staff transmitting now-classified information. 
According to a new email chain shared with POLITICO by Citizens United, Cheryl Mills -- Clinton's former chief of state at State -- forwarded State Department background information about Rwanda and the Congo to the Clintons' philanthropic organization. 
Citizens United, a conservative activist group, obtained the messages via a Freedom of Information act lawsuit. Former President Bill Clinton was visiting Africa, including Rwanda, around the time that Mills sent the email, which was mostly redacted. Former president Clinton was also considering giving Rwandan President Paul Kagame a plenary role at the Clinton Global Initiative, according to the emails. 
The information in the 2012 emails was classified by the State Department in July of this year because of national security and foreign policy reasons, according to the documents. 
The classification specifically related to foreign government information and intelligence activities, sources or methods, according to the redaction labels.
Ace notes:
Note that sources and methods is usually considered the very most sensitive form of intelligence, because it directly exposes where we're getting this information. 
So it should have been obvious this information was "born classified."
GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

Thanks to Speaker-of-the-House-Anointed, Kevin McCarthy, Hillary just got a VRWC get-out-jail-free card.

Stupid ass disqualified himself for the job. But he'll get probably get it anyway since that's how it's done in the GOP.

I'm not up on it. To what are you referring?

McCarthy essentially said in a public comment that the purpose of the Bengazi hearings was to reduce Hillary's poll numbers. He handed her the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy defense on a silver platter.

He didn't exactly mean it that way but it IS what he said. Hillary is already using it in a TV ad. Also Democrat members of Congress have threatened to pursue ethics charges against Trey Gowdy.

I really don't know how a would-be Speaker could be that stupid.
