Washington, September 9 (RHC)-- A second review of e-mails Hillary Clinton received on her private e-mail server as secretary of state has backed an earlier finding the e-mails contained highly classified information when she received them.

The New York Times reports the second analysis, conducted by intelligence agencies, affirms earlier findings by an inspector general, which Clinton’s campaign and the State Department have disputed.

In related news, National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden has criticized Clinton’s exclusive reliance on a private e-mail server during her tenure as secretary of state, saying the idea her server was more secure than government channels is "completely ridiculous."
