Giving a scornful assessment of secretary clintons actions while she served as secretary of state. But ultimately saying it falls short of criminal intent. Here is director comey just a short time ago. From the group of 30,000 emails returned to the state department in 2014, 110 emails in 52 email chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was topsecret at the time they were sent. 36 of those chains contained secret information at the time. And eight contained confidential information at the time. Although we did not find clear evidence that secretary clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive highly classified information. Although there is evidence of potential violations of statutes regarding the handling of clas
The complaint implicates Senior Administration officials, including the attorney general of the United States who may have used the power of his office to keep this complaint from coming to light, but it did, and the president is continuing to lash out, making a veiled threat against the people apparently in the white house who gave the whistleblower information.
