Lauer has been blasted by his colleagues for not hitting Donald Trump with tough follow-up questions and letting him get away with making false statements.

Of course, the partisan anger toward Comey has nothing to do with the evidence in the case – it couldn’t be since the facts clearly indicated there was no criminal activity on the part of Clinton. Classified material usually has a heading marked “top secret”, she said. “This sort of information, which the department says Clinton both sent and received in her emails, is the only kind that must be “presumed” classified, in part to protect national security and the integrity of diplomatic interactions, according to US regulations examined by Reuters”.
GOP Chairman Reince Priebus has said that her claims may have reflected that the former First Lady either lied or just incompetent.
Clinton dismissed the poll, saying she doesn’t pay attention to the nonstop sampling. And in this case, what’s she’s saying is intentionally misleading.
FBI Director James Comey told FBI employees Wednesday that the decision to forgo criminal charges in the Hillary Clinton email investigation was not a close call. The other two levels are “secret” and “top secret”.
Whether these emails were marked or not is entirely irrelevant, a point Comey reiterated in his statement on the case.
Briefing or training given by the State Department on handling of classified information. In the unusual world of espionage prosecution, this denial of intent is an admission of guilt, as it is profoundly the job of the secretary of State to recognize state secrets and to keep them in their secure government-protected venues, and the grossly negligent failure to do so is criminal, noted Napolitano. Maybe she should have asked her husband, who handled classified information while he was President.
Responding to a court request from the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, the FBI released about 30 emails related to Benghazi that agents uncovered during their investigation into Clinton’s use of a private server.
The next day, six months after the New York Times report, Clinton finally uses the m-word to describe her email practices, telling ABC News, “That was a mistake”. “She also explained that she didn’t understand the marking “(c)” which is used to mark a form of classified information.
Clinton told investigators that she thought “nonpaper” was a document with no official heading that can not be attributed to the USA government. Oh, that’s right. Hillary, not her aides, determined which emails were worked related and those they chose didn’t apply, they shredded and deleted.
The innocuous nature of the new Benghazi email is a setback for Republicans in Congress, who have spent years and millions in taxpayer funds on multiple investigations searching for evidence to support their claim that Clinton was negligent in her handling of the Benghazi incident.

It is clear that most of the mainstream press has little interest in pursuing any of this because it might harm Clinton’s chances in November. In December 2014, Clinton told aides she no longer needed any emails older than 60 days. Instead, they lobbed such softballs as: “Do you think you’re being treated differently because you’re a woman?”
