Hillary Defenders: Relax, That 'Beyond Top Secret' Intel on Her Server Was 'Innocuous' 

Guy Benson / Townhall Columnist  

When the intelligence community's Obama-appointed and unanimously-confirmed Inspector General concluded that Hillary Clinton's unsecure and improper private email server contained top secret intelligence, the State Department and its former secretary's presidential campaign disputed that finding.  Intelligence officials circled back and confirmed the IG's verdict. Flashback to December:

An intelligence community review has re-affirmed that two classified emails were indeed “top secret” when they hit Hillary Clinton’s unsecured personal server despite a challenge to that designation by the State Department, according to two sources familiar with the review. The sources described the dispute over whether the two emails were classified at the highest level as a “settled matter.” The agencies that owned and originated that intelligence – the CIA and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency or NGA – reviewed the emails to determine how they should be properly stored, as the State Department took issue with their highly classified nature. The subject matter of the messages is widely reported to be the movement of North Korean missiles and a drone strike. A top secret designation requires the highest level of security, and can include the use of an approved safe. The sources, who were not authorized to speak on the record, told Fox News that while the emails were indeed “top secret” when they hit Clinton’s server, one of them remains “top secret” to this day — and must be handled at the highest security level. The second email is still considered classified but at the lower “secret” level because more information is publicly available about the event.

Court Sides With Obama In First Legal Bout Over Clean Power Plan

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

The first round of lawfare has been waged over President Obama’s environmental agenda–and the court has sided with the administration. The D.C. Court of Appeals ruled that the carbon regulations on existing power plants could be implemented while a final judgment on the lawsuit is rendered. States are required to submit their blueprints for compliance with the new regulations by September 6, 2016. Two-year extensions can be filed, but the verdict on whether the president’s Clean Power Plan is legal could come before the September deadline (via Politico):

The centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s plan to fight climate change survived its biggest legal test so far, but the administration is not out of the woods yet. 

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision on Thursday to keep EPA’s carbon rules for existing power plants in place while lawsuits against it play out indicates the rule’s far-off compliance deadlines convinced the judges that there is no imminent or irrevocable harm.

The challengers “have not satisfied the stringent requirements for a stay pending court review,” wrote the three judges in an order.

The ruling means states will still have to submit their initial compliance plans by Sept. 6 or ask EPA for two-year extensions. Most states, even those challenging the rule, are crafting plans to reduce their emissions as an insurance policy in case the rule survives. EPA has said it will impose its own plan on states that refuse to come up with their own.
