Oct 30, 2016 at 16:08 comment added Batman @WernerCD "Not knowing C stands for confidential in a given context" is not the same as "not understanding classified markings" plain and simple. I'm unconvinced most people would know what a seemingly out of place copyright-like symbol means (saying you would have known or guessed after the fact does not count, knowing full well what you are looking at now). Also, attributing a lack of understanding to lieing is silly, and fails a number of famous "Razor" tests, like "Don't assume bad intentions over neglect and misunderstanding." - Hanlon's Razor (The markings were neglected & misunderstood)
Oct 30, 2016 at 15:51 comment added WernerCD @AlexanderO'Mara In the answer, it says "Clinton doesn't know what C stands for." The NEXT SENTENCE says she wants those markings she doesn't understand removed. How can you not know what they mean THEN request they get removed? ... I know what C stands for (Cookie, Confidential). You know what it means. SHE knows what it means. She's not THAT stupid. She is that much of a liar.
Oct 30, 2016 at 15:41 comment added Batman @Drunk Your words: "She failed to understand classified markings" but as you say, the documents were not marked with the appropriate markings, just some symbol which would have designated the level, given the appropriate markings/context. The fact that is was classified is irrelevant, your saying she didn't understand something that was not properly labeled to be understood. There us little here to indicate she does not understand correct markings.
Oct 30, 2016 at 15:35 comment added Drunk Cynic @AlexanderO'Mara That the classified material contained in her emails was not properly marked doesn't stop it from being classified material. That classified material was introduced into her email with the portion markings intact, as in with (C), is comical. Spillage is spillage, no matter level of the classified material exposed.
Oct 30, 2016 at 15:31 comment added Batman @Drunk Indeed, but as you say, not a valid classified marking, it just designates a level. (C) is also not a valid copyright marking by itself.
Oct 30, 2016 at 15:09 comment added Drunk Cynic @AlexanderO'Mara (C) does stand for Confidential, which is a control level for Classified Material. Unclassified, Unclassified//FOUO, Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, Top Secret//Special Access Programs, etc. Avoid making definitive statements on things you don't fully understand.
Oct 30, 2016 at 13:12 comment added Batman @WernerCD If you are referring the the C symbol, it stands for "confidential", not "classified". (Trump either doesn't know the difference though, or is deliberately using the wrong word with disinformation intentions.)
Oct 30, 2016 at 5:38 comment added WernerCD She failed to understand classified markings... Then requested those markings removed... But she had no intentions
Oct 29, 2016 at 18:44 comment added Brythan Maybe, but the president doesn't apply for it and it can't be suspended or removed without removing the president from office.
Oct 29, 2016 at 18:29 comment added Drunk Cynic The president has a security clearance by default.
