"ABC News detailed a final State Department investigation which concluded that past secretaries of state, including Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice's immediate staff, "handled classified material on unclassified email systems." The findings come as the FBI investigates a private email server used by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state.

For months, conservative media figures have attacked Clinton, baselessly accusing her of wrongdoing for receiving State Department emails on her private email account while secretary of state. On February 4, reports emerged that Colin Powell and aides to Condoleezza Rice also used private email accounts when they served under former President George W. Bush, and some of their emails similarly contained information that was retroactively classified.

The March 4 ABC News article reported that "a final memorandum" issued by "[t]he State Department's internal investigation arm" found that former secretaries of state "handled classified material on unclassified email systems." The State Department found that emails handled on private email accounts associated with Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice contain "information classified at the Secret or Confidential levels.'" Former Secretary Powell responded that those identified emails were not marked "'Confidential at the time and they were sent as unclassified,'" seemingly underscoring Secretary Clinton's defense that "the State Department is classifying documents too aggressively" (emphasis added):"

don't think that it is at least as bad as Petraeus.
Even at that leve,l and I think we will find that it is worse, Petraeus was gone- Not looking to lead the country.

Something will have to be done.

This REPORT was released TODAY.

Thanks!

Some portions of the Democratic establishment are not taking sides, or are letting the chips fall where they may, or however you want to phrase it.

Maybe they were staying ahead of that?

which is why Kirby, Toner and Trudeau who do the daily briefings for the State Department have all directed reporters to that organization for questions as the SD itself was taking a hands off appropriately because of the politics.

As to day of week, this is something too big to hide on a Friday hoping it would be missed. Too many reporters, politicians, and interested people have been waiting for this and the ones from FBI, the Intelligence IG, and the judges in FOIA cases.

the portion of the report that sums things up in this manner: SO, no formal, consistent, modern protocol in place when Hillary was SoS, and making up the rule as they go along, creating new and applicable rules after Hillary leaves her post as SoS, and an verbal indictment of email habits in hindsight. Got it.
