Hillary's damn emails

Uh-oh.

EXCLUSIVE: An intelligence community review has re-affirmed that two classified emails were indeed “top secret” when they hit Hillary Clinton’s unsecured personal server despite a challenge to that designation by the State Department, according to two sources familiar with the review.

The sources described the dispute over whether the two emails were classified at the highest level as a “settled matter.”

The agencies that owned and originated that intelligence – the CIA and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency or NGA – reviewed the emails to determine how they should be properly stored, as the State Department took issue with their highly classified nature. The subject matter of the messages is widely reported to be the movement of North Korean missiles and a drone strike. A top secret designation requires the highest level of security, and can include the use of an approved safe.

The sources, who were not authorized to speak on the record, told Fox News that while the emails were indeed “top secret” when they hit Clinton’s server, one of them remains “top secret” to this day -- and must be handled at the highest security level. The second email is still considered classified but at the lower “secret” level because more information is publicly available about the event.

The media is past this story.  For now, it's the Trump show 24/7.  Until the R nominee is determined, Hillary will not be getting many more tough questions.

As bad as this sounds, I strongly suspect it's going to be a non-issue in the campaign.  First of all, everyone's already tired of it and it's just not the kind of thing that will keep people glued to their TV sets - unlike, say, the feeding frenzy that happens whenever Trump opens his mouth.

There's another reason:  the Clintons' home email server is not something mortal humans like you and I would be able to pull off.  It was apparently set up specifically for the former President by a federal IT branch (I can't remember who exactly) and is probably more secure than most corporate email servers.  Plus, you could make the case that the federal government is in some way responsible for it, so it's not exactly a "personal" email server.
