No Kenneth, that shows how much you differ from the American public. Hillary fans are tired of hearing about them because they reveal Hillary to be a liar and untrustworthy. You use the same BS every time an issue comes up that embarrasses your idols. "Story has no legs" It does indeed have legs. "No there there"....yet they have over 100 FBI agents working the case. "The American public is tired of it"....only you and your ilk projecting.

You avoided my post. I really don't care if party supporters are tired of hearing about Top Secret emails being on her private server, I am concerned that they were on there in the first place and that we were so reckless. Hackers are working 24/7 on breaking in...whether or not she is punished is up to others and politics, but this was unacceptable and dangerous.

Those of you sick and tired of hearing about top secret emails going to a private server should rethink what is important... Security levels Edit Security clearances can be issued by many United States of America government agencies, including the Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Energy (DoE), the Department of Justice(DoJ), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The USA's DoE clearances include the "L" and "Q" levels. DoD issues more than 80% of all clearances. There are three levels of DoD security clearances: [1] TOP SECRET – Will be applied to information in which the unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security. SECRET – Will be applied to information in which the unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause serious damage to the national security. CONFIDENTIAL – Will be applied to information in which the unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause damage to the national security.Despite the common misconception, a public trust position is not a security clearance, and is not the same as the confidential designation. Certain positions which require access to sensitive information, but not information which is classified, must obtain this designation through a background check. Public Trust Positions can either be moderate-risk or high-risk. [2] [3] Information "above Top Secret" is either Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) or special access program (SAP) which are phrases used by media. It is not truly "above" Top Secret, since there is no civilian clearance higher than Top Secret. SCI information may be either Secret or Top Secret, but in either case it has additional controls on dissemination beyond those associated with the classification level alone. In order to gain SCI Access, one would need to have a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI). Compartments of information are identified by code names. This is one means by which the "need to know" principle is formally and automatically enforced. Only persons with access to a given compartment of information are permitted to see information within that compartment, regardless of the person's security clearance level. As long as the holder of a clearance is sponsored, the clearance remains active. If the holder loses sponsorship, the holder is eligible for re-employment with the same clearance for up to 24 months without reinvestigation, after which an update investigation is required. A Periodic Reinvestigation is typically required every five years for Top Secret and ten years for Secret/Confidential, depending upon the agency. Access to a compartment of information lasts only as long as the person's need to have access to a given category of information.

Hillary Clinton’s email defense just hit a major bump in the road By Chris Cillizza January 30 at 9:40 AM Hillary Clinton at Grand View University in Des Moines. (Melina Mara/The Washington Post) For months, Hillary Clinton and her presidential campaign have stuck to a consistent story line when faced with allegations of classified information on the private server she used exclusively as secretary of state: She was the victim of an overzealous intelligence community bent on categorizing information as top secret or classified when it was, in fact, neither. That defense hit a major snag on Friday when the State Department announced that it, too, had found “top secret” information on Clinton’s server — 22 emails across seven separate emails chains. The information, the State Department said, was so secret that those emails would never be released to the public. The Clinton team quickly pivoted. “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,” said campaign spokesman Brian Fallon. Calling for the release of the allegedly top secret emails is a smart gambit by the Clinton folks since it makes them look as if they have nothing to hide while being protected by the near-certainty that the State Department won’t simply change its mind on the release because the Clinton team asked them to. Still, the timing of the State Department announcement, coming just three days before the pivotal Iowa caucuses, and the nature of that announcement seem likely to further complicate a situation that has already caused Clinton and her campaign huge amounts of agita since the existence of her private email server was revealed almost one year ago to the day. Mixed messages from Iowa on Clinton emailsEmbed Copy Share Play Video1:35 Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is in Iowa in the final stretch before Iowa voters convene for their caucuses on Monday. As she campaigned on Friday, the State Department announced it will withhold seven private email chains of the former Secretary of State because they contain top secret information. (Reuters) It now seems beyond question that Clinton’s server contained a variety of classified information including some information so sensitive that even now — years after she left her job as secretary of state — it can’t be released. While that fact doesn’t for certain undercut Clinton’s central defense — that she never sent or received any information marked classified at the time — it does raise even more questions about why she chose to be the first secretary of state to exclusively use a private server to conduct her official business. And, as WaPo’s Roz Helderman writes in her piece on the State Department announcement: Clinton has said that none of her emails were marked classified when they were sent. But it is the responsibility of individual government officials to handle classified material appropriately, including by properly marking it as classified, according to experts. For Clinton, the State Department announcement will give credence to the idea that her initial explanations of why she set up the private server and what sorts of material she kept on it are not entirely accurate. And, more broadly, the State Department announcement keeps the story in the news and hands her political opponents a ready-made way to bash her on the eve of what is the most important vote of her political life. Despite Clinton’s best efforts to downplay and dismiss it, the questions surrounding her email server are growing not shrinking. Friday’s announcement from the State Department should worry any Democrat who thought this issue might fade into obscurity any time soon. washingtonpost.com

However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

It is you that is sick of hearing the truth. Praying for a new news cycle that never comes. Your frustration with justice is telling.
