The inspector general who oversees U.S. intelligence agencies wrote in a letter to members of Congress on Thursday that a sampling of 40 of about 30,000 emails sent or received by Clinton found at least four that contained information the government had classified as secret.... The information was classified at the time the emails were sent, according to the inspector general, Charles McCullough...."

The information remains classified to this day, the statement said.... McCullough said State Department officials told his office 'that there are potentially hundreds of classified emails within the approximately 30,000 provided by former Secretary Clinton.'..."Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-21874439371670279512015-07-24T13:45:25.608-04:002015-07-24T13:45:25.608-04:00BACKFILL: THE "OTHER BIG NY TIMES FRONT PAG...BACKFILL: THE "OTHER BIG NY TIMES FRONT PAGE STORY TODAY WAS VERY BAD FOR HILLARY" EDITION<br /><br />A NY TIMES' MORE "LIFESTYLE" THAN "POLITICS" TYPE PIECE COMPARES AN >>> AUTHENTIC BROOKLYNITE BERNIE SANDERS <<< TO AN >>> INAUTHENTIC HILLARY CLINTON WITH HER HEADQUARTERS IN BROOKLYN <<<<br /><br /><br />The first few pargraphs of the Times piece say it all: "Ivor Williams stood on his porch and stared suspiciously at the visitor who was pointing to the attic of his pink and shingled house near Brooklyn College.... 'I used to live here,' Steve Slavin explained, to no noticeable reaction from Mr. Williams. Then he uttered the magic words: 'With Bernie Sanders.'... 'Bernie?' Mr. Williams, a 78-year-old immigrant from Guyana, exclaimed. 'I was just watching Bernie on the TV.'... Hillary Rodham Clinton may be a former senator from New York who located her campaign headquarters in Brooklyn Heights, but all it takes to know who really represents Brooklyn in the race for the Democratic nomination is for Mr. Sanders to open his mouth and utter a few syllables.... As Mr. Sanders, a senator from Vermont, draws large crowds on the campaign trail and enjoys an unexpected surge, his ur-Brooklyn accent and upbringing in the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Flatbush off Kings Highway have become a particular point of pride for friends, former schoolmates and fellow progressives in the borough where he was born...."

The headline read, 'Criminal Inquiry Sought in Hillary Clinton’s Use of Email.'... The article began as follows: 'Two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether Hillary Rodham Clinton mishandled sensitive government information on a private email account she used as secretary of state, senior government officials said Thursday.'... But suddenly, without notice to readers or attribution, the headline was changed to, 'Criminal Inquiry Is Sought in Clinton Email Account.'... The opening paragraph of the story was stealth-edited to an even more absurd degree, to distance Clinton herself from the story. It now reads as if she was a bystander to the potentially illegal activity: “Two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state, senior government officials said Thursday.” [emphasis added]....The Times even altered the URL of the web page to cover its tracks, evidently having learned that one of the favorite tactics of media watchdogs is to check the URL – which usually defaults to the initial headline – against what the story currently says...."
