Yes you keep saying that, and I'm asking you how a query by HRC to Podesta, neither of which have clearance, is classified "operational discussion"???
Thank you for demonstrating how much you know about security clearances.
I've been out of the Army 10 months and still have an obligation to maintain the classified information I have secret.
Your attitude stinks to be honest.
All I've done is ask questions.
How is a query between two people without clearance "classified operational discussion"???

If I'm hearing you correctly, you are asking why this is "classified" as a question when someone with no relation to government or the situation at all could simply ask the same question? Is that what you mean?

Who cares?
I know. Really.
I mean, I just saved $50 a month on my car insurance. And it only took 15 minutes!
Good times! Keep em comin!
I read the Email and In fact it's a pretty boring email with nothing written that you wouldn't expect from a well educated ATSer

Where, apart from your shady blog, does it mention "classified info"???

The article failed to point to the "Classified" info that was passed on in the email. The actual email seems to be nothing more then what someone very knowledgeable with foreign policy in the region should know such as former Secretary of State that has kept an eye on the region since leaving the position and has a future presidential run coming where this would be a hot topic.
Clinton’s email, sent from a private account she began using after leaving the Department of State, gives Podesta a breakdown of the political situation in the Middle East following the rise of the Islamic State. Clinton says her email and advice is based on various intelligence sources.
“Note: Sources include Western intelligence, US intelligence and sources in the region,” Clinton wrote.

Does John Podesta hold a security clearance?
If not, he too should go to jail....

And they actually WONDER WHY we end up punctuating sentences with "F" bombs...
In Iraq it is important that we engage ISIL using the resources of the Peshmerga fighters of the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG), and what, if any, reliable units exist in the Iraqi Army. The Peshmerga commanders are aggressive hard fighting troops, who have long standing relationships with CIA officers and Special Forces operators. However, they will need the continued commitment of U.S. personnel to work with them as advisors and strategic planners, the new generation of Peshmerga commanders being largely untested in traditional combat. That said, with this U.S. aid the Kurdish troops can inflict a real defeat on ISIL.
