‘Criminal Referral’ Smear: What Trey Gowdy Knew — And When He Knew It
Su ion grows that the leaks behind the bungled New York Times “criminal referral” story came from the Republican side of the House Select Committee on Benghazi chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC).
First Times public editor Margaret Sullivan hinted that the original “tip” came from “Capitol Hill.” Over the weekend, Rep. Elijah mings (D-MD), ranking Democrat on the select committee, revealed proof that Gowdy knew of the (utterly non-criminal) referrals by the inspectors general for the intelligence community and the State Department to the Justice Department, in advance.

It is clear that the GOP strategy is to go after Hillary with a full frontal attack. Their base will get fired up for sure.
Hillary losing the primary would be a disaster for the Democratic party.
Her best bet at this point is to get pregnant and campaign on shooting out a legion of demon babies to help run things
Stick a fork.in her fellas:
"Clinton to hand over her email servers and backups to federals. Just classified as too secret"

After Banning Trump For Sexism, Erick Erickson's RedState Calls Clinton A "Homely Woman" Who Slept "Her Way Into Power"
"If Hillary Clinton possesses any unique selling propostion beyond proving even a homely woman can sleep her way into power, it is her tenure as Barack Obama's secretary of state.
That seems to be a slender enough reed when polls show the electorate could give a flying rat's patootie about experience and favor a change agent above all."

"There's a lot of misinformation, so bear with us; the truth matters on this.
Here are the basics: Like other Secretaries of State who served before her, Hillary used a personal email address, and the rules of the State Department permitted it. She's already acknowledged that, in hindsight, it would have been better just to use separate work and personal email accounts. No one disputes that.
The State Department's request: Last year, as part of a review of its records, the State Department asked the last four former Secretaries of State to provide any work-related emails they had. Hillary was the only former Secretary of State to provide any materials -- more than 30,000 emails. In fact, she handed over too many -- the Department said it will be returning over 1,200 messages to her because, in their and the National Archives' judgment, these messages were completely personal in nature.
Hillary didn't send any classified materials over email: Hillary only used her personal account for unclassified email. No information in her emails was marked classified at the time she sent or received them. She viewed classified materials in hard copy in her office or via other secure means while traveling, not on email.
What makes it complicated: It's common for information previously considered unclassified to be upgraded to classified before being publicly released. Some emails that weren't secret at the time she sent or received them might be secret now. And sometimes government agencies disagree about what should be classified, so it isn't surprising that another agency might want to conduct its own review, even though the State Department has repeatedly confirmed that Hillary's emails contained no classified information at the time she sent or received them.
To be clear, there is absolutely no criminal inquiry into Hillary's email or email server. Any and all reports to that effect have been widely debunked. Hillary directed her team to provide her email server and a thumb drive in order to cooperate with the review process and to ensure these materials were stored in a safe and secure manner.
What about the Benghazi committee? While you may hear from the Republican-led Benghazi committee about Hillary's emails, it is important to remember that the committee was formed to focus on learning lessons from Benghazi to help prevent future tragedies at our embassies and consulates around the globe. Instead, the committee, led by Republican Representative Trey Gowdy, is spending nearly $6 million in taxpayer money to conduct a partisan witch-hunt designed to do political damage to Hillary in the run-up to the election.
Hillary has remained absolutely committed to cooperating. That's why, just as she gave her email server to the government, she's also testifying before the Benghazi committee in October and is actively working with the Justice Department to make sure they have what they need. She hopes that her emails will continue to be released in a timely fashion.
It's worth noting: Many of the Republican candidates for president have done the same things for which they're now criticizing Hillary. As governor, Jeb Bush owned his own private server and his staff decided which emails he turned over as work-related from his private account. Bobby Jindal went a step further, using private email to communicate with his immediate staff but refusing to release his work-related emails. Scott Walker and Rick Perry had email issues themselves.
The bottom line: Look, Len, this kind of nonsense comes with the territory of running for president. We know it, Hillary knows it, and we expect it to continue from now until Election Day.
It's okay. We'll be ready. We have the facts, our principles, and you on our side. And it's vital that you read and absorb the real story so that you know what to say the next time you hear about this around the dinner table or the water cooler.

State Dept. Disagrees That Clinton E-mails Contained Classified Information
While some will claim that:
. It is not in dispute that her cache of 30,000 e-mails contained classified do ents from as many as five U.S. intelligence agencies.
This claim would be false. For one the State Department disputes it:
In a statement Tuesday, State Department spokesperson John Kirby noted that the two e-mails determined to have contained top secret material were "not marked as classified" when they were sent between State Department employees and ultimately forwarded to Clinton.
The two e-mails, from 2009 and 2011, were identified before they were made public as part of the department's monthly releases of Clinton e-mails. "While we work with the Director of National Intelligence to resolve whether, in fact, this material is actually classified, we are taking steps to ensure the information is protected and stored appropriately, Kirby said. [My emphasis]
To be clear, the State Department has already stated that is disagrees with the IC IG on this. I covered these points in a previous diary. The upshot was State disagreed with the IC regarding whether the information was in fact classified, even NOW.
This is an intergovernment agency food fight. All of this is in dispute. What's not in dispute is that the information was not marked classified when received by Clinton. (It now seems clear she never sent the information, just received it.)
As Clinton said: "“What I think you’re seeing here is a very typical kind of discussion—to some extent disagreement—among various parts of the government over what should or should not be publicly released."
The story has not changed. That's still what it is.

Sure. If you don't trust someone, all you need to do is ask someone that works for them. They'll give you the full story.
you're sucking down Repug lies and slander as God's Own Word.
Hilary For America
not me. You're the one fantasizing about living in a world run by a Hilary robot where windkills dot the landscape and the government provides food and sundries to the masses while no one does any real work.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A day after Hillary Rodham Clinton turned her personal email server over to the Justice Department, her campaign assured supporters that the Democratic presidential candidate did not send classified information over her private account.
In a message sent to campaign backers, communications director Jen Palmieri dismissed inquires by Congress and federal agencies into Clinton's use of a private account while she was secretary of state as partisan attacks "designed to do political damage to Hillary in the run-up to the election." Palmieri stressed that Clinton is not facing a criminal investigation and said she remains "committed to cooperating" with federal investigations into her private account.
"The bottom line: This kind of nonsense comes with the territory of running for president," Palmieri wrote. "We know it, Hillary knows it, and we expect it to continue from now until Election Day."
Federal investigators have begun looking into the security of Clinton's email setup after the inspector general of the U.S. intelligence agencies said that classified information may have passed through the system. There is no evidence she used encryption to prevent prying eyes from accessing the emails or her personal server.
Two emails that traversed Clinton's personal system contained information that had been designated "top secret" and "sensitive compartmented information," one of the government's highest classification ratings, U.S. officials said.
The campaign's missive seemed aimed not only at making public Clinton's side of the email story but also arming backers with talking points to defend her from further Republican attacks. GOP officials and candidates have said the newest revelations point to Clinton malfeasance as secretary of state.
"This is something that isn't just a matter of her not being able to tell the truth," said Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican presidential candidate, on Wednesday. "This is something that has put national security at risk and highly questions her ability to be the commander in chief of the United States."
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said: "All this means is that Hillary Clinton, in the face of FBI scrutiny, has decided she has run out of options. She knows she did something wrong and has run out of ways to cover it up."
For months Clinton refused calls to give up the home-brew email server she used in her suburban New York City home to send and store email through a private account. She has defended her use of the server, saying she used it as a matter of convenience to limit the number of electronic devices she had to carry. She has said the server account never held classified information.
Officials are investigating whether classified information was improperly sent, though it's not clear if the device will yield any information. Her attorney said in March that no emails from the main personal address she used while secretary of state are on the server or backup systems associated with it.
In March, Clinton said she exchanged about 60,000 emails in her four years in the Obama administration, about half of which were personal and were discarded. She turned over the other half to the State Department last December. The department is reviewing those emails and has begun the process of releasing them to the public.
On Tuesday, Clinton attorney David Kendall gave to the Justice Department three thumb drives containing copies of work-related emails sent to and from her personal email addresses via her private server.
Kendall gave the thumb drives, containing copies of roughly 30,000 emails, to the FBI after the agency determined he could not remain in possession of the classified information contained in some of the emails, according to a U.S. official briefed on the matter who was not authorized to speak publicly. The State Department previously had said it was comfortable with Kendall keeping the emails at his Washington law office.
Also Tuesday, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said two emails that traversed Clinton's personal system were deemed "Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information" - a rating that is among the government's highest classifications. Grassley said the inspector general of the nation's intelligence community had reported the new details about the higher classification to Congress on Tuesday.
Those two emails were among four that had previously been determined by the inspector general of the intelligence community to have been classified at the time they were sent. The State Department disputes that the emails were classified at that time.
"Department employees circulated these emails on unclassified systems in 2009 and 2011 and ultimately some were forwarded to Secretary Clinton," said State Department spokesman John Kirby. "They were not marked as classified."
The inspector general for the intelligence community had told Congress that potentially hundreds of emails containing classified information are among the cache that Clinton provided to the State Department.
Earlier this week, Clinton said in a sworn statement submitted to a federal judge that she has turned over to the State Department all emails from the server "that were or potentially were federal records." The statement, which carries her signature and was signed under penalty of perjury, echoed months of Clinton's past public statements about the matter.
