“I’m certainly aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.” – Hillary Clinton
If Hillary Clinton neither sent nor received classified information, just how did she carry out the normal day to day business of a secretary of state?
Even her daily itinerary should have been classified. Friendly and unfriendly countries alike want to know who she’s meeting with and where.
One of the e-mails recently released by the State Department included a five-page, heavily redacted e-mail from Britain’s foreign secretary concerning Afghanistan. It had been forwarded to Hillary’s private e-mail account by her top aide, Huma Abedin.
I tried to imagine the likes of Dean Acheson, John Foster Dulles and Henry Kissinger operating without classified communications, but soon recognized that Hillary operated not as a secretary of state but as someone protecting her future candidacy for president.
On April 19, 2012, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded to the request for more security at the Benghazi consulate articulating instead a plan to scale back security assets. Since she didn’t send classified information, one can suppose that those who attacked the Benghazi facility, killing the ambassador and three other Americans five months later, might have known they would encounter little or no resistance.
As I have written before …. and she wants to be president.
