To date all of the emails that have been tagged for further review were MARKED non classified at the time they were SENT. Before releasing these emails to the public, the State Department has decided to change the classification of some of them, so that the public cannot see them. All of this being done not in real time but at a much later date.
The bottom line is so far, Hillary has not violated either of these two rules which were posted in post #97 by J.D. Barleycorn.
