Hillary and Huma Abedin Apparently Don’t Know What ‘Classified’ Means

From the last Morning Jolt of the week:

FBI Trying to Determine If Hillary’s Aides Broke the Law.

SPOILER ALERT: Yes, they did.

BREAKING: Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin apparently have no idea what classified information is:

The email described a deteriorating situation in Libya, with snipers shooting people in the streets as rebels tried to unseat President Muammar el-Qaddafi and worried American diplomats in the midst of a “phased checkout” from Benghazi. It arrived in the private email account of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, one Sunday morning in April 2011, with unforeseen consequences.

That email, which included an update from the Africa Command of the Department of Defense detailing Libyan military movements, is part of the evidence that law enforcement officials say the F.B.I. is now examining as it tries to determine whether aides to Mrs. Clinton mishandled delicate national security information when they communicated with their boss.

The Libyan dispatch, written by an aide to Mrs. Clinton and then forwarded to her by Huma Abedin, one of her top advisers, should have been considered classified, according to intelligence officials. And, they say, other emails to Mrs. Clinton they have found, including one addressing North Korea’s nuclear weapons system and a third discussing United States drone strikes in Pakistan, should have been marked “Top Secret.”

Recall Hillary declaring in August, “I have said repeatedly that I did not send nor receive classified material, and I’m very confident that when this entire process plays out that will be understood by everyone. It will prove what I am saying. It is not possible for people to look back now, some years in the past and draw different conclusions than the ones that were at work at the time.”
