From the midweek edition of the Morning Jolt:

FBI: Oh, Hey, Some of Hillary’s Insecure E-Mails Had Classified Information!
So… how does Hillary Clinton get out of this one?
The FBI has taken possession of thumb drives containing Hillary Clinton’s emails, some of which have been deemed to contain highly sensitive classified information, according to a U.S. official briefed on the matter.
The official was not authorized to be quoted publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, turned over the emails after the FBI determined that he could not remain in possession of the classified information, the official said. The State Department previously had said it was comfortable with Kendall keeping the emails at his Washington law office.
The news came as Sen. Charles Grassley said two of the emails, which traversed Clinton’s insecure home email server, were deemed “Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information,” which is among the government’s highest classifications.
Hillary’s e-mails included information classified up to “TOP SECRET//SI/TK//NOFORN”. For those who don’t speak bureaucratese, that’s “Special Intelligence” meaning communications intercepts, “Talent Keyhole” meaning space-based imagery and signals intelligence, and NOFORN, which means “no foreign nationals” – meaning it cannot be shared with foreign citizens.
Where does Hillary go from here?
“My opponents are playing politics”? Sure, but will she really be able to persuade a majority of the public that the FBI is a malicious tool of the vast right-wing conspiracy? Maybe they’ll dust off the “this is an out-of-control vendetta driven by runaway prosecutors on a fishing expedition” defense, except this appears pretty straightforward. Either the information was classified or it wasn’t – although Hillary appeared to leave some wiggle room suggesting that maybe something she e-mailed about was later classified:
“I am confident that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received,” Clinton told reporters in Winterset, Iowa.
“The facts are pretty clear,” Clinton said. “I did not send or receive anything that was classified at the time.”
FACT CHECK: Horsepuckey.
Ira Stoll suggests she’ll cite Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s report suggesting that too much information gathered and distributed by government is unnecessarily classified.
“It depends upon what the definition of ‘is’ is?”
Maybe she’ll go back to a classic:

Look, it’s not like Hillary is that vulnerable in the primar–WHOANELLIE!

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has rocketed past longtime front-runner Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, a stunning turn in a race once considered a lock for the former secretary of state, a new Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll shows.
Sanders leads Clinton 44-37 percent among likely Democratic primary voters, the first time the heavily favored Clinton has trailed in the 2016 primary campaign, according to the poll of 442 Granite-Staters.
