CNBC and NYT political reporter John Harwood has obviously heard the reports that Hillary Clinton did in fact deal with classified information on her private email account(s) on a homebrew server. What can anybody prove something bad happened as a result?
assume HRC received email that was "classified" even if not marked that way. any evidence/allegation of national security harm as a result?
— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) July 25, 2015
Just imagine that kind of cover being thrown for a conservative in the same boat. Harwood’s question is great in that it helps point out how Hillary operates above the rules (and consequences). The “little people” don’t have that luxury.

Maybe not if Person X were a liberal presidential candidate.
Rubio sits on the Sen. Intelligence Cmte, yes? Would you be as dismissive if he was accused of the same? Serious Q. https://t.co/V1FMd33Wiu

.@JohnJHarwood 4 of 40 sampled had classified info. That would be 5,400 emails of 54,000 she had. At least. https://t.co/xsomaAQfQj

@JohnJHarwood how would we determine that there's been no natl sec harm wout her server to check?
— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) July 25, 2015
@JohnJHarwood seriously are u this naive? By being on a private server we have NO idea if Russia China etc hacked in to server! Wake up.

@JohnJHarwood It’s a felony regardless. If I did the same thing, I’d go to jail. Are those laws just for the little people?
— Will Collier (@willcollier) July 25, 2015
@JohnJHarwood that is NOT the criminal standard. Are you a reporter or a partisan hack?
— TakingHayekSeriously (@FriedrichHayek) July 25, 2015
@JohnJHarwood look, this ENLISTED guy was just charged 4 similar acrions http://t.co/jY6T4FRSOE Why shouldn't she be held to higher standard

Let’s just ignore the fact that she did the wrong thing. Instead, let’s pretend some hypothetical question matters!https://t.co/5B8gPpncOx

I'm sure every govt employee ever fired over this kind of thing glad to hear "it did no harm" is now the standard. https://t.co/bWY8RIHeZq

I dunno. Maybe we could ask General Petraeus https://t.co/Pujsjb18oO @JohnJHarwood

.@JohnJHarwood By all means, let's now base all mishandling of classified material based solely on proving harm. That'll end well.
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) July 25, 2015
Gee, if I had mishandled classified info I'd have gone to jail. But I guess HRC is special cuz she's liberal. @RadioFreeTom @JohnJHarwood

Hard to read @JohnJHarwood any other way. If he didn't mean it rhetorically, why wasn't he trying to answer it as a reporter?— Joel Engel (@joelengel) July 25, 2015

Unfortunately that’s true. What will tomorrow bring?
