      This @mattyglesias explainer on the Clinton emails thing is the best I've read. http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/4/13500018/clinton-email-scandal-bullshit …

      WAY down in the supposedly great Yglesias story on Clinton email he claims the investigation "ended up" focusing on classification.pic.twitter.com/ac5X8oqkmY

      That allows him to obscure how the investigation got started (referral for classified info) and how/why Hillary turned emails over to State.

      FBI did not investigate Clinton bc she operated own server. They investigated her bc ICIG referred evidence abt classified info on it.

      You can believe the email story has been blown ALL out of proportion. I agree. But you should also get the details right.

          One reason to get details right is bc of quasi-parallel bt deleted Bush WH emails and these. Both discovered in investigation of CLASS info.

          The other reason to get details right abt genesis of Clinton investigation is bc treatment of classified info is badly fucked.

          It's all well to say that some of these emails might not have been classified--I've argued forever CIA makes bogus claims abt classification

          But for less famous/favored people, those claims land people in prison. Sometimes w/cheering, involvement of Hillary and Brian Fallon.

          Is there a good summary somewhere of any cases where mishandling of unmarked-but-classified info has resulted in jail time?

          That seems to be what the Clinton case revolves around? That this stuff wasn't marked and later it was deemed classified anyway.

          Not good measure. There ARE cases where people sent email incl classified info that they didn't mark classified. It's abt intent.

          Hillary's reaction to the story helped a lot in blowing it out of proportion

          Agree. Fuck up on top of fuck up. Not good. And I have real concerns abt response to Congressional requests. Those are real.

          The email story gets its proportion from Clinton's history and patterns. Also from her stances on whistleblowers and prosecution

          It gets amplified based on her hawkish posture about those who've leaked/mishandled classified info. Her email was a train wreck
