The State Department, which is reviewing Hillary Clinton’s emails from her tenure as secretary of state, has flagged 305 emails for further review to determine if they contain classified information.

The team of intelligence community reviewers looking at emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server have identified 305 documents that have been referred to their agencies for further consultation.

On Tuesday, the intelligence community’s inspector general, Charles McCullough, informed Congress that two of those emails contained “Top Secret” information.

Clinton has asserted that she did not send any classified material through her system.

The entirety of Clinton’s official correspondence, minus information redacted by the State Department or intelligence agencies, is scheduled to be released by next January. But the situation provoked enough concern that in early July, State Department officials delivered a safe to Kendall’s Washington law office to secure a thumb drive he held containing all of the emails, according to the individuals with knowledge of the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to its sensitivity.

Even if Democrats accept that the email flap is a partisan witch hunt, the GOP nominee will try to persuade independents otherwise. The agency insists that the information was not classified at the time it was sent and stored on Clinton’s server. The company says it’s cooperating fully with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which collected the server from them several days ago. They might well decline to prosecute her, Limbaugh said, but just having an investigation about her server during her White House run will be damaging.

I think this will all sort itself out”. Yet, Clinton continues to deny sending any emails marked with classified information, attesting that none of the information was classified when handled over her email server, said the presidential candidate in a statement at the Iowa State Fair.

What came to light as I read through all of the reports I located about Clinton’s email issues was the very appropriate handling of classified data by the secretary and her aide Huma Abedin – who is also now under fire for an alleged overpayment during her employment at State. She maintains that the 30,000 or so she considered personal and not related to her work as secretary of state were deleted.

The entire process of submitting and the review of the emails and soon to be possibly sensitive emails released to the public, Clinton is enduring an ongoing headache on top of challenging presidential campaign. Now, as of court filings Monday, the number of questionable documents has grown to more than 300, about 5 percent of those studied.

Clinton is still viewed overwhelmingly by voters as the likely Democratic nominee, but the results suggest she faces an unexpectedly hard fight to prevent an embarrassing opening loss in the first-in-the-nation primary.

It corrected itself to label it a “security referral”, but that did not stop Clinton’s Republican rivals on the campaign trail from piling on about Clinton’s potential criminal activity.
