I was preparing this comment for the last thread when it indicated a new thread started. It goes to a tweet VB put up by Bennie “Brainless” Shapiro after he saw MSNBC posting a screen chyron saying Trump really didn’t see an Iran video.

I look forward to the MSNBC chyron, “HILLARY CLINTON LIES (AGAIN) ABOUT FBI SAYING SHE WAS ‘TRUTHFUL’”

I am so damn sick of Clinton email bullshit.

If anyone needs a good link to a good fact check site about the 3…yes three goddamn emails in question he is one you can use to pound people over the head with…even if it does no good, show them anyway.

And of those three, 2 were considered by FBI Director Comey as easy to miss and easy to mistake. Even the last of the three is questionable.

As Rep. John Lewis said to Comey (paraphrased) out of 30,000 emails all you found were three emails?

But the media never says anything about that.

Here is the link…

factcheck.org - Revisiting Clinton and Classified Information

Here is basically a summary at the beginning of the article:

At his July 5 press conference, FBI Director James Comey said a “very small number” of emails sent and received by Hillary Clinton over her private server “bore markings indicating the presence of classified information” — contradicting Clinton’s claims that she “never received nor sent any material that was marked classified.”

But now we are learning more about those emails from Comey, who testified before the House Oversight Committee on July 7, and State Department spokesman John Kirby, who addressed these emails at press briefings on July 6 and 7:

Comey said three emails had “portion markings” on them indicating that they were classified, but they were not properly marked and therefore could have been missed by Clinton. He said the emails were marked as classified with the letter “C” in the body of the email.

Kirby said the State Department believes that at least two of the emails were mistakenly marked as confidential. He could not speak to the third email, saying ​the department didn’t have​ “all of the records and documents that the FBI used in their investigation.”

Comey told the committee he is “highly confident” that FBI investigators consulted with the State Department about the marked emails. But he said he did not know that the department believes that any of them were marked in error.

The issue is a bit complicated, but important, because it provides Clinton with a stronger defense against claims that she sent and received material that was marked as classified over her private server when she was secretary of state.
