Retroactive RatFcng

The State Department: Hillary Clinton’s email correspondence contained ‘top secret’ material - The Washington Post:

...Clinton’s spokesman, Brian Fallon, presented the findings as the latest turn in an ongoing struggle between government officials over whether to retroactively classify emails that were not marked as sensitive when they were sent and that Clinton thinks should be made public.

“After a process that has been dominated by bureaucratic infighting that has too often played out in public view, the loudest and leakiest participants in this interagency dispute have now prevailed in blocking any release of these emails,” Fallon said. “This flies in the face of the fact that these emails were unmarked at the time they were sent, and have been called ‘innocuous’ by certain intelligence officials.”

Fallon told MSNBC that withholding the emails from view in their entirety made it impossible for the public to independently judge the validity of the State Department’s conclusion...

Uh, duhhhhh. If the emails have to be released to show they are classified, then they are not classified. If the emails are not released because they are classified, then nobody is going to know what was classified and no harm occurred.
