“I can’t believe we’re still talking about this, but my emails…” Clinton said in a Twitter thread, referring to scrutiny she has faced since her 2016 presidential bid, when then-candidate Trump and other Republicans made it a focus of their campaign against her.
“[Former FBI Director James] 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. That’s right: ZERO,” Clinton wrote.
“By contrast, Trump has hundreds of documents clearly marked classified, and the investigation just started,” Clinton wrote.

'Twould be a silver lining indeed should the Federalist Society be tainted by association.
Any American who gives a shit about ongoing democracy in this country had better keep the Federalist Society and their plutocratic goals firmly in mind for every vote they cast going forward. Every. Single. One.
Learn who they are. Learn who supports them, wittingly and unwittingly, in Congress and in government at all levels. Learn which judges have been championed by them. And get rid of all these people in any legal way possible.
That’s my plan, anyway.
From the WaPo article:
Some of the seized documents detail top-secret U.S. operations so closely guarded that many senior national security officials are kept in the dark about them. Only the president, some members of his Cabinet or a near-Cabinet-level official could authorize other government officials to know details of these special-access programs, according to people familiar with the search, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive details of an ongoing investigation.
Documents about such highly classified operations require special clearances on a need-to-know basis, not just top-secret clearance. Some special-access programs can have as few as a couple dozen government personnel authorized to know of an operation’s existence. Records that deal with such programs are kept under lock and key, almost always in a secure compartmented information facility, with a designated control officer to keep careful tabs on their location.
Going to be a bit difficult to find a lawyer with the required clearance to act as a special master…
This tainted judge you’ve given
Disgraces everything she touches
Shits on justice and that’s not nearly all

What is the timeline for an appeal of Cannon’s ‘special master’ decision? The DOJ should have had the paperwork ready to file immediately.
We are getting to the point where not arresting Trump will have an adverse impact on our diplomatic relations.
Nice work. I remember you noting that.
Hmm. We need a lawyer who has likely seen many of those documents, or at least information much like it. Who could we call?
Trumpbusters!
How trustworthy is the source for this info? (paywalled)
I wonder if Trump is still claiming he declassified that.
Lol, it’s the DOJ, so I’m sure pretty trustworthy.
And, yes, I am saying that this is a purposeful DOJ leak. I have nothing to base this on other than I don’t really believe in coincidences like this. The timing of the release of this information coming just a day after the ruling which halted the investigation? Lol. This has ‘intentional leak’ all over it.
This guy
But is he really special? I mean, sure, he thinks is, but do we want to feed into his egotism?
Well, he has experience as adjudicator.
Why hasn’t this been bigger news? I don’t see it mentioned on AP or NPR or on the international websites like the BBC
HAHA! That’s brilliant!
Thanks for making my morning. I was sitting here with a miserable cold, doomscrolling through this mess and up pops your post.
Why hasn’t WHAT been bigger news? The special master? What did I miss?
According to the Washington Post, extremely high level material on the nuclear capabilities of art least one foreign nation were among the documents recovered at Mar-a-lago.
