From #HillaryForAmerica: About those emails...

A big update about Hillary's emails

Friend --

Big news today: Remember a few months ago when the inspector general for the intelligence community claimed two of Hillary Clinton’s emails were "top secret"? Well, a new review from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence says that determination was flat-out wrong, and it’s critical that we make sure people know it

Share this article far and wide:

POLITICO: Key Clinton emails did not contain highly classified secrets, inquiry finds
The U.S. intelligence community has retreated from claims that two emails in Hillary Clinton’s private account contained top secret information, a source familiar with the situation told POLITICO.
The determination came from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper’s office and concluded that the two emails did not include highly classified intelligence secrets. Concerns about the emails' classification helped trigger an on-going FBI inquiry into Clinton's private email set-up.
...
"The initial determination was based on a flawed process," the source said.
"There was an intelligence product people thought [one of the emails] was based on, but that actually postdated the email in question."
A top expert in classification procedures called the development "an astonishing turn of events."

None of Hillary’s opponents are going to be rushing to correct the record about this, which is why it’s so important for members of The Briefing like you to get the word out:

Thanks so much. Happy Friday!

Hillary Clinton's Ebony Op-Ed on Strengthening Communities of Color

[Exclusive] Hillary Clinton Outlines Plan to Strengthen Communities of Color

[OP-ED] In a piece you will only find on EBONY.com, the Democratic frontrunner lays out a plan to address economic, social and educational issues affecting African Americans

by Hillary Clinton, November 06, 2015

Associated Press

When I started my life in public service four decades ago, it was to tear down the barriers that hold people back from developing their talents and achieving their dreams. That’s what I’m still fighting for today.

But more than half a century after Rosa Parks sat and Dr. King marched and John Lewis bled, race still plays too big a part in determining who gets ahead in America—and who gets left behind.

In America today, one in three Black men will go to prison in their lifetime. African American women earn 64 cents and Latina women 56 cents for every dollar a White man earns. African Americans are nearly three times more likely to be denied a mortgage as whites. The median Black family has just eight percent the wealth of the median White family. Two-thirds of children living in poverty today are African American or Latino. And Black children are 500 percent more likely to die from asthma than White kids.

From James Traub: An Excellent Analysis of Hillary Clinton's Foreign Policy

It is not the first time a publication has approached the topic of a Hillary Clinton Doctrine.  As early as 2009, when she began outlining what she called 21st Century Statecraft, a doctrine began to emerge.   About halfway through her tenure, news sources began exploring the topic.

Newsweek Celebrates Women’s History Month: “The Hillary Doctrine”

March 6, 2011

Economic Statecraft: The New Clinton Doctrine

October 14, 2011

With her service at the State Department behind her and the likelihood of a general election campaign before her, Foreign Policy's James Traub offers a thorough analysis of her foreign policy positions and the effects they have rendered.  This is a must-read!  He begins with that speech I have referred to so often here, her Forum for the Future speech in Doha

The Hillary Clinton Doctrine

For four years she was Obama’s loyal secretary of state. Her critics call her an interventionist, her admirers tough-minded. What kind of president will she be?

By James Traub

On Jan. 13, 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave what turned out to be a remarkably prescient speech in Doha, Qatar. "The region's foundations are sinking into the sand," she warned. If you do not manage to "build a future that your young people will believe in," she told the Arab heads of state in the audience, the status quo they had long defended would collapse. The very next day, Tunisia’s dictator was forced to flee the country. Almost two weeks later, hundreds of thousands of Egyptians thronged Cairo's Tahrir Square demanding that then-President Hosni Mubarak step down. Over the following week, Clinton and her colleagues in the Barack Obama administration engaged in an intense debate over how to respond to this astonishing turn of events. Should they side with the young people in the streets demanding an immediate end to the deadening hand of autocratic rule, or with the rulers whom Clinton had admonished, but who nevertheless represented a stable order underpinned by American power and diplomacy?

Here is the history of the movement to nudge Hillary Clinton from private citizen, after so many years of service, to presidential candidate. 

Ready for Hillary: The Official, Inside Story of the Campaign before the Campaign Kindle Edition

Hillary Clinton with Jimmy Kimmel

Backstage at @JimmyKimmelLive—tune in tonight! pic.twitter.com/39BrorRCE2

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 6, 2015

Jimmy held a Kids' Forum at the beginning of the show on the topic of a woman president.  Hillary joined in and took notes.



With the host, she addressed issues and a few of her GOP opponents.  She said she did indeed attend Trump's wedding and might watch him on the upcoming SNL.  If they return to the White House, WJC keeps the remote. She has no idea what a former POTUS as First Spouse would be called. She will not ask him to pick a china pattern, but would ask for other advice. If HRC were running against WJC, would she win?  Yeah!

Hillary Clinton's Op-Ed in 'Forward' - Unbreakable Bond with Israel

How I Would Reaffirm Unbreakable Bond With Israel — and Benjamin Netanyahu

Hillary Clinton  November 4, 2015

We have recently marked the 20th anniversary of the assassination of then Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, a good friend, a courageous warrior and a great statesman. This somber anniversary, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington on November 9, is an opportunity to reaffirm the unbreakable bonds of friendship and unity between the people and governments of the United States and Israel.

The alliance between our two nations transcends politics. It is and should always be a commitment that unites us, not a wedge that divides us.

Ever since President Truman waited only 11 minutes to recognize the new nation of Israel in 1948, Americans have believed that Israel is more than a country — it’s a dream nurtured for generations and made real by men and women who refused to bow to the toughest odds.
