"The documents are being upgraded at the request of the intelligence community because they contain a category of top secret information," State Department spokesman John Kirby told the AP, calling the withholding of documents in full "not unusual." That means they won't be published online with others being released, even with blacked-out boxes.
Department officials wouldn't describe the substance of the emails, or say if Clinton sent any herself.
Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, insists she never sent or received information on her personal email account that was classified at the time. No emails released so far were marked classified, but reviewers previously designated more than 1,000 messages at lower classification levels. Friday's will be the first at top secret level.
Even if Clinton didn't write or forward the messages, she still would have been required to report any classification slippages she recognized in emails she received. But without classification markings, that may have been difficult, especially if the information was publicly available.
"We firmly oppose the complete blocking of the release of these emails," Clinton campaign spokesman Brain Fallon said. "Since first providing her emails to the State Department more than one year ago, Hillary Clinton has urged that they be made available to the public. We feel no differently today."

The Secretary of State received highly classified emails.
Shocker.....
Sure.
On a wide open private computer system.
But they were only classified after she received them....
Also am i the only one who finds this whole email thing a little boring.

If she was actually was "read into" any of the programs in the e-mails, the SSO (Special Security Officer) at the Pentagon should have the documentation... let's ask them...

The FBI and the Inspector General might have done that already.
it's so top secret, the thing is blanked out
The first bombshell is that an email with Sid Blumenthal was redacted completely because it was classified. But did he have security clearance?

Official now - her private server held
Top Secret classified information!
Imagining about now how many deleted "yoga"
routines the FBI might have found
Well its a good thing Hillary has been doing Yoga all
this time, otherwise all her "gymnastics" would be the
end of her.

This is what bugs me. I was a Senior NCO. IF I EVER did what Hillary has done, I would be stripped of rank, retired or not, and left to rot in a Federal Prison.
Hillary is an untried criminal...
