Such a falacious argument. Any information, marked as classified or not, that deals with current or recent operations, troop or VIP (ambassadors, heads of state, etc.) movement or readiness levels, measures of troop or security status, or discussions about such, are classified and the SecState is fully aware of this. Aggregation of components of any of the above is also classified. HRC knew this at the time and if anything in the emails contained all or part of the aforementioned information, and she did nothing to notify her SSO, she is guilty of spillage at the least and espionage at the worst.

Good point. Also, the Secretary of State has "original classification authority." Individuals with OCA are entrusted to determine when material should be considered and handled as classified. They do not need to "derive" classification because information comes from other classified sources.

In other words, as SoS Hillary was supposed to know and recognize that information should be classified, even determine if new information coming in should be marked classified. She has no excuse, absolutely none. If she is incapable of making that determination as SoS then why in the {expletive} should anyone trust her to make such determinations at the head of the Executive Branch - where all classification authority comes from.

In other words, by saying "It wasn't marked and I didn't know." is a confession by Hillary that she is unfit for the duties of the office of President. Thanks Hillary, you just disqualified yourself.

OK, so as SOS she WAS getting some classified emails... if none of those on her server were not classified (yeah, right) WHERE were the classified emails she received going? To another server?

I agree and thought this from day one. The information she had to deal with everyday was inherently such that it would be classified. The level of damage that it would do to US interests, which is how a determination is made of classification - confidential, secret, and top secret - might not be obvious in a verbal discussion that then gets put into an email. Still, you know when you deal with sensitive and obviously classified information that you do not send it unencrypted over a NIPR network. It’s so wrong and so foolish that only a Clinton would try to tell the public this is fine.
