Just a random thought in passing. Maybe someone familiar with the American vetting process can speak to this. One of the obvious avenues of discussion on the whole Hillary e-mail thing has been her claim that she never received or sent any 'secret' or 'classified' documents.
WHAT IF the biggest secret is that she wasn't cleared to handle secret documents? Based on access that Slick Willy would have to her server, and the ability for him to look over her shoulder at home, maybe she was deemed an unacceptable risk to handle classified documents?
If her staff got the documents first, stripped off any classification tabs, and then forwarded the email to her, she has not technically 'received' a classified document.
In addition if she was always orally briefed, or 'read in' on secret information, then she could make her own notes for later transposition and storage on her server as a reference tool. Thus she eliminates the e-mail trail, still has the info to do her job, and since a Secretary of State failing a security check would be a scandal, maybe THAT'S what she is so desperate to hide?
Would be one weird explanation for all the cloak and dagger, but it fits the narrative put out by State, Clinton, and the WH.
I know the intel community says they found over 100 documents with classified info, but the State Dept. claims that's a matter of opinion, and not fact, since departments have different thresholds for classified information. In fact, I saw a story today where the intel folks upon review by a more senior staffer have walked back one of the emails as no longer having classified info.
So, is it even remotely possible that the reason she had no classified documents is because she wasn't allowed to have any?
Hmmmmmm.
