    I stand corrected. I meant classified material would compromise security, not something like "Hey dude, glad to see you back at work."

    But as standard practice, people who deal with security matters shouldn't use anything other than a secured email system for work - regardless of individual email content. Mistakes can be made.

      That's the purpose of the cc or the forward. So the record auditors can make sure they don't.

        It really depends on what type of material he was sending through private email. Schedules doesn't sound like a big deal. Classified information does. Why haven't the democrats condemned Clinton for sending classified material through a server she had in a closet? But they are ready to jump on Pompeo for sending a schedule through to his private email? Sounds like a double standard.

            You'd be blatantly wrong though.

            Considering the two were wholly different situations legally, you're comparing geese and pencil erasers.

              Just a friendly reminder there were no at-the-time classified secrets on Clinton's email server.

                It depends on the nature of the emails, and whether or not he was authorized to use that account for non-classified communication.

                The thing that liberals love to forget is that the reason Hillary's email server is such a big deal is because, first of all, it was secret; secondly, it was unsecure and basically wide open to any foreign government who wanted to login and take a peek; and third, she used the server for sending and receiving classified information.

                So unless all or some of that also applies to Pompeo, there is no analogous circumstance here.

                    There were paragraphs marked with paragraph markings (c) (s) (ts) that identified those paragraphs as classified.

                        Transmitting classified information via non-classified networks is illegal. Transmitting unclassified information isn't, unless it can be aggregated with other unclassified material into something that rises to the level of secret. Nothing Pompeo has been accused of in the OP remotely rises to the level of secret information.

                                It's not "certain communications" it's simply a fact. Markings don't create classification, they label it. To use a clear example, if the menu, preparation, ingredients, and guests of the presidents meals is a classified topic, then any communication about that topic, by those with knowledge of the topic, is classified, whether appropriately marked or not. I know that largely lines up with what you said, but it's different. It's never classified because someone slapped a a label on it, it's classified because its classified, and then someone labels it to highlight the classification.
