The article doesn't say that anyone is claiming that State simultaneously came up with the same info, and chose not to classify it.
From the article..."In both emails, the State Department did not generate the intelligence, and therefore did not have classification authority"
Hilary is sticking to her claim that it's all about differing, subjective classification between different agencies. Well, if State generated the same info and chose not to classify it, then Hilary should be vindicated. If State in fact did independently generate the same information and chose not to classify it, that should be very sinmple to determine. But the quote I just pulled from the article, seems to contradict that assertion.
Let's find out!
