Hillary Clinton: not bright enough to run the nation, or just a liar?

There is now no doubt that Hillary Clinton cannot use the excuse that the email on her private bathroom server was not "marked" classified when she sent or received it. 

As our so-called Secretary of State it was Clinton's responsibility for ascertaining whether the information she dealt with was classified and she acknowledged that by signing an agreement saying that "negligent handling" of the information that could jeopardize national security. 

This was part of her hiring package and that of any employee of the State Department signs who handles sensitive to classified material.

The very next day after she was sworn in, Hillary signed a Sensitive Compartmented Information Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA) which explains criminal penalties for "any unauthorized disclosure" of classified information.

The agreement is quite specific as it states: "I have been advised that the unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent handling of SCI by me could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation."

What we know now is that she received at least two emails marked "TS/SCI"--Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information, according to the U.S. intelligence community's inspector general. And even before she moved her private server out of her Chappaqua, NY home to a bathroom closet in Colorado, the server was not authorized to handle SCI, and never was thereafter.

So while her claims that the emails weren't marked classified, the NDA says she had the responsibility of finding out if it was classified. The agreement says clearly: "I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with appropriate management authorities in the Department . . . in order to ensure that I know whether information or material within my knowledge or control that I have reason to believe might be SCI."

According to security experts, the information that gets TS/SCI designations is sensitive enough that most senior government officials would immediately know it was classified. Hillary says she didn't know. Hillary should have known.

Hillary is either a liar or clearly not bright enough to be running the country.

Or both.
