I thought I was just explaining how this works, and I wasn't giving Hilary a pass. Actually, I am very, very conservative when it comes to classified data . My observation is that a lot of political appointees play fast ad loose with classified - I had a boss who was a political and stood up in an open forum with the media present and released classified information - pretty significant classified information that put sources at risk. He got fired for it, but he was totally incompetent anyway. And it is common practice in DC to be very careful what information you give to the HIll, because they are known to totally disregard classification. So don't ever think that I think that anyone should be given a pass.
Given what I remember about Hilary in the WH, and then as SecState, I don't know why people support her. But it appears that she has become a power player and the Democrats seem scared to death of her. Maybe she's got a lot of dirt on everyone.
