CLINTON'S PRETENSE, SHE DIDN'T KNOW "C" WAS FOR "CLASSIFIED"

For mishandling ‘top secret’ information and lying about it, she should be prosecuted.
So now Hillary finally knows what the “(C)” stands for in government documents: It’s Cartwright . . . as in four-star Marine General James E. Cartwright, the retired 67-year-old former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the expendable federal official against whom laws protecting classified information actually get enforced. (C), see? Oh wait — sorry.
I don’t mean to confuse Mrs. Clinton by starting this second paragraph with “(C)”.
After all, as she diva-’splained to the FBI, she could only “speculate” that “(C)” must have something to do with organizing paragraphs “in alphabetical order.”
Speculation was necessary, she said, apparently with a straight face, because she didn’t really know what “(C)” meant.
The question arose because the “(C)” designation — applicable to classified information at the confidential level — turned up in at least one of Clinton’s personal e-mails.
Those would be the e-mails that, she repeatedly insisted, never, ever contained classified information.
Or at least, that’s what she insisted until government agencies confessed that hundreds of the e-mails do contain classified information.
Then Clinton’s “never, ever” tale morphed into the more narrowly tailored lie that there were no e-mails “marked classified.”
Alas, that claim could not withstand examination of the e-mails, during which the “(C)” markings were found . . . whereupon the explanation underwent more, shall we say, refining.
Thus the final, astonishing claim that she didn’t know what the markings meant, along with the laugh-out-loud whopper that maybe it was all about alphabetical order. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
