WASHINGTON » At least 1,340 emails that Hillary Clinton sent or received contained classified material, according to the State Department’s latest update from its ongoing review of more than 30,000 emails.
The State Department released a new batch of 3,007 pages of Clinton’s emails after 1:30 a.m. Friday in response to a court order. Of those, 66 contain classified information.
None of Clinton’s emails were marked as classified during her tenure, State Department officials say, but intelligence officials say some material was clearly classified at the time. Her aides also sent and received classified information.
Clinton has been under fire for months for exclusively using personal email routed through a private server while serving as the nation’s top diplomat. The FBI launched an inquiry into the handling of sensitive information after classified information was found in some.
In response to a public records lawsuit, the State Department is releasing Clinton’s emails at the end of each month after partially or entirely redacting any containing sensitive U.S. or foreign government information. So far, it has released 43,148 pages of emails.
But the State Department failed to meet a court-imposed deadline on the number of Clinton’s emails to be released in December so it released another batch this week. It had missed a previous deadline, but had caught up in recent months. The emails released Friday also were not fully processed, officials said.
“We are releasing the documents today so as to be responsive to the court’s December 31st goal for posting 82 percent of the Clinton email collection by that date,” according to the State Department. “With today’s production, the State Department will meet the page volume anticipated by last week’s production goal.”
“Now with dozens of additional emails found to be classified, we know Hillary Clinton exposed classified material in more than 1,300 messages, including information that was classified at the time it was sent as well at some of the highest levels,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said. “Hillary Clinton’s pursuit of secrecy at the expense of national security was undeniably reckless and shows she cannot be trusted in the White House.”
Priebus called on Clinton to request the State Department commit to a “more open process” and not release the emails in the middle of the night or on holidays.

Where’s Bernie when she needs him?
The Clinton camp is doing the obvious that would give Hillary the best chance to be next Pres of the US and that us to court the non-Caucasians when she is matched against any Republican, especially racist Trump. What makes non-Caucasians even more motivated to vote for Hillary even though they know she is a liar, ineffective leader and how she and Obama refused to help the Americans who were being attacked in Benghazi and did not even attempt a rescue mission (No one knows for sure if that would have made a difference but they held out over 8 hours and a couple lasted a few hours after that) is how many like Hannity and Mike Perry defend Trump even though he says racist and inflammatory remarks to Asians, ALL Muslims, Hispanics and Asian Americans. Hannity, Perry and others live in their protected ivory tower and cannot figure out why Romney lost so badly to Obama or why so many would vote for pathetic Hillary over Trump, even the wealthy non Caucasians who would be financially better off with Trump or a Republican president. From the last election getting votes only from Caucasians is not enough to win the US presidency. The current polls do not reflect the true situation of a Trump vs Hillary matchup cause those whomwill vote for Clinton for the reasons stated above do NOT participate in polls cause they don’t trust them and want to keep their choice private.
Of the three democratic candidates one is a lame duck, the other too much life experiences. The third is surprisingly ccapable to become a serious contender. Take a good look and listen to him!
Felon Hillary Clinton will spin like a top trying to pars words like her husband did when he got away with perjury. Corrupt Democrats have no problem with this, and we have a weak, and incompetent administration, so Hillary the Felon may get away with serving jail time. Hillary lied and Americans died.
Dangerous precedent is being set if Hillary is not charged for mishandling classified material. Otherwise the classification is all a sham to keep embarrassing information from reaching the tax paying citizens. The whole administration is hoodwinking the American people. We are the fools for repeatedly re-electing these bums to high offices. With all the adverse data that is coming to light this individual thinks she is entitled and that the we owe her???She used her position to grease the path for husband to earn exorbitant speaking fees as well as enable their charitable organization to receive enormous amounts in donations. She claims she left the White House flat broke snd yet they are worth hundreds of million dollar$. Yes hundreds of Millions, and they have not won any Jackpots or Lottos. Figure it out.
This might be the end for her campaign.
Hillary belongs in the Big House and not the White House. This is how this situation playing out. I believe the FBI will recommend charges be brought against her for mishandling of classified documents, but instead of the Obama Justice Departing filing charges, Hillary will claim to have a medical condition that prevents her from continuing her quest for the Presidency and will drop out of the race. Obama will then give her a pre-arranged presidential pardon and she will get off scot-free. VP Biden will then be “drafted” to run for President.
Except that they were NOT classified at the time.
They were classified at the time but not marked. Guilty. She should have known better but then again that’s Benghazi Hillary.
Nice spin, but no, they weren’t. You want to hold her to the letter of the rules, then you need to know the rules. But since when is THAT important to you? You support the biggest liar in the race… and he’s PROUD of the fact that it doesn’t matter that he lies.
No spin zone. Check it out yourself, classified documents. I don’t support Hillary/Bill the biggest liars in the race. Mr Trump will make America Great Again.
America is already great, no thanks to Trump. Just for grins, why don’t you cite the email that was classified when she sent it? Going back after the fact and classifying years later doesn’t break ANY of the rules or contradict her assertion that she didn’t send any classified information… unless of course you expect people to forecast the future. If that’s the case, you’ll be able to see the crash and burn coming of the vulgarity that is Trump.
“It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. The FBI will decide.
Yup, the FBI WILL decide, despite your claims… that as usual you can’t back up. No wonder you’re a Trump supporter.
Greetings DowntownGreen, nice chatting with you again. They were classified at the time. It may surprise you to know that senders and receivers of government documents are responsible for determining if the contents are classified regardless of how the documents may be marked. When Hillary received unmarked documents that contained classified information, it was her responsibility to ensure they were given the proper security classification. Hillary turned over to the Government about 55,000 emails from her private unsecured service which she claims were related to US Government business and that she deleted about 30,000 that she claims were personal. As Secretary of State, Hillary handled more highly classified matters than any other cabinet secretary, it is the nature of the State Department, yet she claims she did not receive or send anything that was marked classified. How was she able to do her job without sending or receiving classified materials? The documents thus far released show that 1,340 of the contained classified material. Do you honestly believe that Hillary did not know some of the material was classified? No reasonable minded person will believe that.
In your humble, non-partisan opinion, of course. I know that’s the Breitbart spin, but it is up to the FBI. Not you, not Breitbart, and not Sarge.
Greetings DowntownGreen, it is not up to me, Breitbart and Sarge. It is up to the law and this is what the law says:
18 United States Code, Section 1924:
Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.
DowntownGreen, here is one more for you. Read it carefully. It says nothing about the materials being marked or unmarked because it is irrelevant.
18 US Code 793 (f)
Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
How did private citizen Sid Blumenthal secure a top-secret NSA report and send it to Hillary via her personal email?
For the every day Joe who commits these acts ,regarding those emails ,that person would be charged in a heartbeat! State Department Interns have lost or been fired for a lesser charge…and we all know what happened to Gen. Patreus. You can Google this…
I don’t think Hillary will be charged with this or anything!
Here’s why:
Even though President Obama is not a huge fan of Hillary,he still wants a Democrat to win the White House. With Hillary in ,it will mean carrying out Obama’s legacy…..if there is any.lol
And reason two ,why she will not be charged: Even though the FBI has done a fabulous job,and yes thoroughly. The charge will be dropped by the hands of another puppet. President Obama’s appointee….The DOJ’s Loretta Lynch. So you see? This whole subject about Hillary’s Emails are Moot…..so much for “Transparency”.
Right now it will come down to our next president Donald Trump.Exposing the Clintons for what they truly are. This whole thing about the “Womanizer” and the “War on Women”. Good grief!
Since it was Hillary ,who started this attack on the Donald,there is no reason for Donald to hold back now! Keep going Donald !
And once the Millenials (Her main Voter base) catch wind of what Billy Bob and Hillary did to those involved in the Lewinski scandal.OMG!Maybe? They’ll have a different opinion on Bill and Hillary…The Clintons.__ IMUA
when is Hillary going to be held accountable for her actions?
