Hillary Clinton private emails: Criminal investigation …

Story highlights Hillary Clinton on Friday criticized what she called "a lot of inaccuracies" in brief remarks she made about the classified emails. An intelligence inspector general said that some material Clinton emailed from her private server contained classified information. The IG noted, however, that "none of the emails we reviewed had classification or dissemination markings."

Because it was not identified, it is unclear whether Clinton realized she was potentially compromising classified information.

The IG reviewed a "limited sampling" of her emails and among those 40 reviewed found that "four contained classified [intelligence community] information," wrote the IG Charles McCullough in a letter to Congress.

McCullough noted that "none of the emails we reviewed had classification or dissemination markings" but that some "should have been handled as classified, appropriately marked, and transmitted via a secure network."

The four emails in question "were classified when they were sent and are classified now," spokeswoman Andrea Williams told CNN.

McCullough said that State Department Freedom of Information Act officials told the intelligence community IG that "there are potentially hundreds of classified emails within the approximately 30,000 provided by former Secretary Clinton."

Clinton on Friday criticized what she called "a lot of inaccuracies" in brief remarks about the classified emails.

She added that she had released 500 pages of emails and that "I've said repeatedly that I will answer questions" posed by a congressional panel.

"But I'm also going to stay focused on the issues, particularly the big issues that really matter to American families," she said.

In the past, Clinton has denied sending classified information from her personal sever.

Hillary Clinton Thinks Telemarketers Are ‘Really Annoying …

ABC US News | World NewsCopy

Apparently, even Hillary Clinton gets calls from telemarketers. (And yes, just like the rest of us, she cant stand them).

During a town hall at the Dover City Hall on Thursday, Clinton commiserated about telemarketing scams with a voter who stood up to ask what the Democratic presidential candidate could do to stop them.

Its really annoying. It's really annoying. I know, Clinton said. I mean, we have the same issue at home. It's really so annoying when you've told somebody I'm not interested, please don't call me, and they just kind of go through the cycle and they call you again and call you again, and all the rest of it.

The voter told Clinton that she was getting robocalls up to 20 times a day, despite putting her number on the national Do Not Call list, and was desperate for some help.

I've tried everything, the woman said. Short of me changing my phone number that everybody knows. I really don't want to do that. We have elderly, we have sick relatives, we have children that need to reach us, and this phone is constantly bouncing across the country.

Clinton, who said she had never before been asked about telemarketing, assured the woman she would look into it.

I dont know the answer, but I will try to find out if there is an answer, Clinton said.

Even so, the image of Clinton answering a telemarketing call over and over in her Chappaqua, New York, apparently left an impression.

Heres how we imagine Clinton will respond next time they call:

Hillary Clinton: Polls splits on favorability …

This is an eight point increase in her unfavorable rate since an April AP-GfK poll was conducted.

A Washington Post-ABC News poll released just one day prior showed Clinton with a 45 percent unfavorable rating, but a 52 percent favorable rating.

There are two factors that may be driving the different ratings. First, polls conducted online, as the AP-GfK poll was, often find lower favorability ratings for well-known figures than most polling conducted via phone. This is partly because online polling makes it easier for respondents to say they don't have an opinion of the person they're asked about. For instance, in the ABC-Post poll, just 4% say they have no opinion of Clinton, compared with 11% in the AP-GfK poll. These differences often hit the positive side of any poll question more than the negative one.

Beyond the methodological differences, the storylines for each poll stem mostly from timing. The AP-GfK poll finds that Clinton's favorability ratings are down since April, shortly after she launched her campaign, without any data in the interim. The Washington Post-ABC News poll reports that her ratings are up since late-May, a time which marked a low point in Clinton's recent ratings in that poll and in others, including CNN/ORC data.

The only other 2016 hopefully who rated higher in negative impressions among all Americans in the AP-GfK polls was Republican candidate Donald Trump with 58 percent.

The drop in Clinton's numbers appears to extend into the Democratic Party.

Seven in 10 Democrats gave Clinton positive marks, an 11-point drop from the April survey conducted by AP-GfK. Nearly a quarter of Democrats now say they see Clinton in an unfavorable light.

In the Washington Post-ABC News poll, Clinton's fellow Democratic candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders from Vermont, who has been rallying the masses at campaign events, had a 28 percent unfavorable impression among responders, but only a 27 percent favorable rating.

Republican candidates, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were not far behind Clinton in negative impressions in the AP-Gfk poll, tied at 44 percent unfavorable ratings among all Americans. Christie had a 23 percent total favorable rating and Bush had a 31 percent favorable rating.

A peek inside Hillary Clinton’s Brooklyn HQ – Annie Karni …

Hillary Clintons Brooklyn campaign headquarters is finally ready for its close-up.

On Thursday, the campaign ended a three-month period during which its HQ was considered off the record to visitors and allowed POLITICO to tour and photograph the space.

It has great views, said communications director Jennifer Palmieri, who on Wednesday posted online that tweeting, photos, visits now welcome! Her proclamation came after New York Times Magazine writer Mark Leibovich dinged the campaign for trying to keep its actual, physical workspace off the record.

After POLITICO asked for a tour, the campaign delivered on its promise the following morning, part of a new effort to engage with the national media that follows on the heels of Clintons first national television interview last week.

We want to make sure people can do their work, but otherwise were happy to have people come check it out, Palmieri said.

The original policy of prohibiting journalists from reporting on the campaign headquarters, she said, was misinterpreted as overly controlling. When people come in for meetings, you want the operation to continue to function and that if something is overheard, or a memo is seen, its not going to get reported on, Palmieri said. It seems like that was received the wrong way.

The Clinton campaign signed a lease on the 11th floor of 1 Pierrepont Plaza in Brooklyn Heights last April, and the campaign will expand to occupy a second floor in October.

Visitors are required to sign in on an iPad, and sign a confidentiality agreement. You agree not to disclose any Confidential information or any information derived therefrom to any third person and to take all reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information with the highest degree of care, the statement reads.

By 10 a.m. Thursday, the open-plan office was teeming with staffers, volunteers and interns, many wearing official Clinton campaign apparel. Campaign manager Robby Mook and other senior officials were in their daily senior staff meeting when POLITICO arrived to photograph the office.
