On CBS This Morning on Monday, at the end of a report recalling the notes the FBI released which document that Hillary Clinton claimed not to know that "(C)" markings in her emails indicated classified information at the level of "confidential," CBS correspondent Nancy Cordes misleadingly gave the impression that confidential emails are not classified as she made a point of correcting Donald Trump for mis-stating that the "(C)" stood for "classified."

A bit later, as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi appeared as a guest and similarly suggested that "confidential" information is not classified, CBS substitute host Josh Elliott seemed to accept her claim. But, on Friday's Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN, liberal George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley informed viewers that "confidential" is the "lowest level of classification," with other levels being "secret" and "top secret."

On Monday's CBS This Morning, Cordes recounted some of the FBI's notes:

The FBI notes also reveal that Clinton told the agents she couldn't recall receiving any briefing or training on how to handle classified information as Secretary of State. When presented with a confidential email with the marking "C" next to the top of the paragraph, she speculated it was marked in alphabetical order, and she questioned the classification level.

A bit later, she read from a tweet in which Trump attacked Clinton on the matter:

In a tweet, Trump went after Clinton. "Lyin' Hillary Clinton told the FBI that she did not know the 'C' markings on documents stood for CLASSIFIED. How can this be happening?"

The CBS correspondent corrected Trump as she concluded her report, but failed to inform viewers that Trump was only partially wrong as the "(C)" still indicates a type of classified material. Cordes:

As to that Trump attack in that tweet where he said that it shows that Clinton clearly doesn't understand that "C" means classified, well, he's got his facts wrong, too, because the FBI director has said that that "C" stood for "confidential," not "classified."

Shortly after the 8:00 a.m. hour, substitute host Dana Jacobson read a brief in which she repeated that Clinton claimed not to realize that a "(C)" referred to information that was "confidential." Jacobson:

Agents also wrote "Clinton stated she did not know what the '(C)' meant at the beginning of paragraphs and speculated it was referencing paragraphs marking in alphabetical order." The "C" stood for "confidential."

Pelosi was then immediately introduced as a guest and repeated CBS's misleading references to "confidential" information as the House Democratic leader seemed to claim that "confidential" information was not really "classified" and then bragged about her history of sitting on the House Intelligence Committee to boost her credentials on the subject.

Substitute host Elliott began the segment by posing:

Congressman, let's start with that simple letter, that "C." Again, Secretary Clinton told the FBI she didn't know it stood for "confidential." How concerned then should voters be that a former Senator, a former Secretary of State didn't know what that "C" stood for?

Pelosi dismissed the importance of the damaging revelations as she began:

Well, the -- I think they shouldn't be that concerned. I think the Secretary of State deals with a large number of issues -- 30,000 emails we're talking about, a few that may have been marked "confidential." "Classified" really and "secret" and "highly sensitive" is where it becomes more problematic. But the fact is that whatever it is that Hillary Clinton dealt with in that manner had no threat to our security. And I think that too much is being made of this.

Without catching her incorrect suggestion that "confidential" was not really "classified," the CBS host followed up:

But she is nevertheless somebody that a majority of the electorate simply has said they do not trust. When she says on 39 separate occasions to the FBI that she cannot recall receiving any training with regard to monitoring and using her email for confidential information, how believable is that?
