Jonathan Turley/NYPost:
“I can’t believe we’re still talking about this, but my emails. . .”: Hillary Clinton’s disbelief this week was shared by many critics left dumbfounded by her claim her private server contained “zero” classified documents. The expression of utter incredulity was classic Clinton — she’s selling hats reading “But her emails” for $30 a pop.
But Hillary’s denial of what was found on her server exposes something far more serious than signature hypocrisy. It reflects establishment figures’ sense of license that they can literally rewrite history with little fear of contradiction by the media.
While calling for limits on free speech over “disinformation,” Hillary has no qualms about falsely denying what published government reports detail.
“As Trump’s problems continue to mount, the right is trying to make this about me again. There’s even a ‘Clinton Standard.’ The fact is that I had zero emails that were classified,” her but-my-emails tweet continued. “Comey admitted he was wrong after he claimed I had classified emails. Trump’s own State Department, under two different Secretaries, found I had no classified emails.”
Virtually everything about that claim is breathtakingly untrue.
Let’s quickly deal with the light lifting before getting back to the “Clinton Standard.”
“Zero emails” were “classified.”
A 2018 Department of Justice inspector general report revealed “81 email chains containing approximately 193 individual emails” were “classified from the CONFIDENTIAL to TOP SECRET levels at the time.” Clinton is echoing her allies’ recent spin that there were only three documents with classification markings among 33,000 emails. It is utter nonsense.

@TRF
She only goes one way – SATANIC!
But there are multiple routes on the highway to hell.
Jethro – Yes, but is there an off-ramp?
Benghazi anyone? “What difference at this point does it make?”
I got away with it. I win, you lose. As it should be.
She’s only doing what works for elites in general, AND, reaffirming her (their) incredible level of ego/arrogance.
I remember when Hillary was being questioned about sending those emails she said “I never sent anything marked classified”. Classified material is marked Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret – not Classified. She’s lying and parsing her words.
I read last night that she was dropped from Trump’s lawsuit by the court.
Hitlery…
