I’m struck by nobody discussing that (presumably) those emails would ONLY be sent to her address if the sender CONFIRMED security of her system - either someone failed to follow obvious protocol, or she [gulp] lied about the server’s security. And by “lied” I note that it goes way beyond a simple “yeah, it’s secure” - someone had to KNOW it was insecure and formally validated it anyway.

True, if Hillary (or her people) thought of themselves as normal American citizens who have to live under the same laws as everyone else.

Which they don't.

The sender has no authority to make judgements on such a matter. The rule is much simpler: classified information may be transferred only through approved channels, and you are trained on proper use of those channels. For that reason the very fact that those emails ended up on her server indicates that someone, somewhere, broke the law. Who is that "someone?" Most likely it's the sender, and their name is printed right in those emails. Detective skills of Hercule Poirot's level are not needed here.

No, its all rotten. You can’t cross pollinate between the SIPRnet and the Internet. The DoD doesn’t even allow thumb drives. Someone had to knowingly make hard copies on a classified system and then load them onto the unclass side.

Further, it doesn’t matter. I could start typing classified information that I simply know in my head right now, and by the end of the week, I would be cuffed by the FBI and occupying a Federal holding cell.

Several ways to check it out. First track the classified messages back to the sender. Any of the intelligence senders would have plainly marked their messages.

Second, her server email application was required to append the statement “this email address is not a secure address” or something similar to alert all users that it was an unsecure email address.

Check the email extended headers and look for re-routing and forwarding actions on the email and pull the strings.

There are a myriad of ways to check and track the emails and their contents .... if they wish to!!!
