So either:
A. Trump is admitting that Hillary had no highly classified information on the server, OR
B. Trump HOPES they do have possession of highly classified information.
You just showed that those are the only two possibilities, DonDiego. I bet you didn't mean to do that. Oh, and anyone hoping for 'B' is not a patriot.
For such a smart fellow, forkushV sure has a way of limiting what he thinks and trying to limit what other folks think.
Everything in the world does not reduce to two possibilities.
But with respect to THE TWO POSSIBILITIES:
A. Mr. Trump already knows there was classified data on the server. The issue is is there classified data in the e-mails which The Hilary "destroyed"; there is no way for Mr. Trump to
know whether there is classified information in those records, so he is unlikely to admit there is none.
B. There is no way to
know what Mr. Trump HOPES; perhaps he HOPES there is no classified information, but realizes it'd be better to know if they do have classified data.
Some observations:
i. It is already known that The Hillary had classified information on her private server, . . . from Confidential up to Top Secret, . . . and multiple categorizations within those classifications. That's in the data that she turned over. It may well be that one of the reasons she "destroyed" 30,000 e-mails was because she recognized some of them were classified; we've only seen the ones she didn't destroy.
ii. Mr. Trump almost certainly expects anything to be released in the unseen/"destroyed"/recovered e-mails will be unpleasant for The Hillary.
That's pr'bly why they were never made available, . . . unless one actually believes there's 30,000 pages of wedding plans and yoga. That does not necessarily mean there's anything classified, although poor old DonDiego fears there pr'bly is; that's pr'bly another reason they were never made available. But there
are things in the e-mails The Hillary just wanted destroyed; it'd be nice to know what they are.
iii. In the unlikely event that the Russians, indeed,
do have the "destroyed" e-mails poor old DonDiego would like to see the unclassified ones that The Hillary wanted to destroy, . . . especially like conversations between The Hillary and Sidney Blumenthal, whom the White House refused to permit Her to hire into Her State Department. Oh, and if she was doing Clinton Foundation business on Government-time and Government computers that'd be nice to see. Oh and Democrat Party business too; there was lots of embarrassing stuff in the DNC e-mails that wasn't classified, but really,
really nice to see revealed.
iv. DonDiego wouldn't be surprised if there is classified material in the destroyed e-mails too. He does not want to see that; he has no need to know. But if there
is classified stuff, it would be nice for the US Government to know what leaked and what the Russians know that they should not know. This is pr'bly why the Russians won't release the e-mails, . . . or selectively release them to keep at least some advantage.
v.
The Hillary has already stated repeatedly there was not any classified data on the server; therefore, there cannot be any classified data in the "destroyed" e-mails which may have been retrieved by a Russian hackers,if there are Russian hackers. Therefore it is perfectly safe for Mr. Trump to request Russia to release any data which they obtained off The Hillary's server , UNLESS The Hillary lied, . . . which she might well have done. So to summarize some additional possibilities:
__There may be classified data.
__There may be only unclassified data.
__Mr. Trump may hope there is no classified data, but would like to see what she destroyed anyway. It might be important. Or it might be embarrassing/revealing/telling as to what citizens can expect from the Hillary if she were elected.
__Mr. Trump hopes there is classified data to further damage The Hillary's fitness as to holding a high office.
__Mr. Trump hopes there is classified data and recognizes it is important to know what the Russians know.
__Whatever Mr. Trump hopes, it would be nice to know what the Russians know that the American public and the American Government does not know.
DonDiego would not be surprised if forkushV can come up with lots of other possible scenarios; he jes' needs to apply himself.
A very thoughtful analysis. As DonDiego pointed out there are lots of other possible scenarios. That must mean Forkush is either dishonest or stupid.
