Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, said Tuesday night that Hillary Clinton<\/a> is not telling the truth when she says she didn’t know what the classified “c” marker used in government email correspondences during her time at the State Department meant.<\/p>\n

“She is lying,” Assange told<\/u><\/a> Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “And it is disturbing that [FBI Director James] Comey goes along with that game.”<\/p>\n

Notes of Clinton’s testimony to the FBI released Friday show that the former secretary of state said she could not remember what the symbol meant.<\/p>\n

“When asked what the parenthetical ‘c’ meant before a paragraph within the captioned email,” read the FBI’s notes of an interview with Clinton released Friday<\/u><\/a>. “[Clinton] stated she did not know and could only speculate it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order.”<\/p>\n

“Hillary Clinton says that she can’t remember what a ‘c’ in brackets stands for. Everyone in positions of government, and in WikiLeaks, knows it stands for Classified\/Confidential,” Assange said.<\/p>\n

“By Hillary Clinton, here she is. See, that is her signature. With a ‘c’ in bracket right there,” Assange said to Hannity, holding one such email up. “Thousands of examples where she herself has used a ‘c’ in brackets by herself. And more than 22,000 times where she has received cables from others with this ‘c’ in brackets. So it is absolutely incredible for her to lie.”<\/p>\n

FBI Director Comey concluded in July<\/u><\/a> that Clinton’s State Department had been “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information” but that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring charges against Clinton.<\/p>\n

Assange also knocked the government’s timing of the most recent Clinton release — the Friday before Labor Day weekend — and criticized the Obama administration for an “epidemic<\/u><\/a>… of abusing national security law to crack down on what is legitimate use of the First Amendment.”<\/p>\n
