Political discussions about everything

As many as 130 officials have been contacted in recent weeks by State Department investigators — a list that includes senior officials who reported directly to Clinton as well as others in lower-level jobs whose emails were at some point relayed to her inbox, said current and former State Department officials. Those targeted were notified that emails they sent years ago constitute potential security violations, according to letters reviewed by The Washington Post.
Pass the popcorn!

I did as RealTool suggested and the first link contained:

"Those communications are now being “upclassified” or “reclassified,” according to several officials involved in the investigation, meaning that they have been retroactively assessed to contain material so sensitive that they should have been sent only on State Department classified systems.

Many of those who have been targeted by the probe and found “not culpable,” described it as an effort to harass diplomats for the routine conduct of their job.

“It is such an obscene abuse of power and time involving so many people for so many years,” one former U.S. official said of the inquiry. “This has just sucked up people’s lives for years and years.”-Washington Post

In other words, the Trump Administration has "classified" emails years after they were sent and then threaten State Department employees with having broken the law by sending classified communications over unsecured communication systems.

This is how Trump goes after people. He uses his power to RETROACTIVELY make people into criminals when what they were doing was historically routine practice of every Administration. It's all he can do to find a crime--he creates a crime and then wastes taxpayer money investigating it for years.


Thanks for the heads up, Tool. We needed to know about this grievous abuse of power by Trump. It could really support the impeachment process.
How many millions has Trump wasted in this manner, pursuing his frivolous witch hunt?

So apparently the Trump administration went out and retroactively reclassified the emails to go after a political opponent after the statue of limitations expired. This in itself is an abuse of power and nothing more than a banana republic maneuver.

Trumpers are becoming more dangerous and desperate as I type this.............

Actually, four of the coup plotters retroactively reclassified the material Comey leaked.

The four were reportedly Priestap, Strzok, Page, and McCabe, and of course they apparently did that to protect the self-righteous Comey who admitted on video to leaking to a law prof pal for the purpose of getting a special counsel.

What a nest of vipers.

It's so ridiculous to see johnforbes arguing that it's just fine that Trump retroactively classified standard operating procedure State Department material in order to create a partisan political crime to investigate because four intelligence people reclassified some material in the past. Only somehow it was bad when the intelligence people did it but fine when Trump did it.

Fucking scumbag hypocrite conservatives.....honestly....

^^^^^^ See johnforbes had to stop by to reiterate his hypocrisy to make it abundantly clear to any who still doubted that he is a hypocritical partisan tool..

If neutral pros had declassified that material for valid reasons, that would have been fine.

However, it was four of the coup plotters retroactively reclassified the material Comey leaked.
