Some things move from unclassified to classified for a lot of good reasons. What she cannot escape is that there is no authorization to do government business on her personal computer. And just by the nature of the position of Secretary of State it would be imperative that the mail she had be considered at least sensitive, too sensitive for a home server. So she risked exposing government information and intentions to possible US advisories through trafficking on non secure email servers for the obvious sole purpose of keeping that mail unavailable to government oversight as required by law. She avoided accountability but risked national security. Also, a lot of people forget how this story came to light. Longtime Clintonista Sidney Blumenthal's email got hacked. That hacker realized he also had access to mail from Clinton's account. That hacker was an individual. What about state-sponsored hackers for North Korea, China, Russia? She was at best a fool, but we all know she's worse.

As Secretary of State, it is reasonable to assume that her email correspondence would include information that would fall into the categories of either "Classified" or "Top Secret." Because of this, there are regulations which specify that the server used for such communications must be certified as secure enough to handle this type of correspondence. Hillary should be forced to produce the documentation showing that the certification process was completed, and by whom. If no such documentation exists, she is in violation of the security requirements as prescribed by government regulations. Also, there is a requirement to maintain a backup server housed in a different geographic location in the event the primary server is damaged or destroyed by fire natural disaster, etc. Was this requirement met? If not, it represents another serious violation.

There are three general titles to classified information; they are Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret. Within these, too, there are need to know rules. So, for example, I may have a Top Secret Clearance, but that doesn’t entitle me to TS information unless I need to know it for my duties. For DoD, there is also the OPSEC rule - Operational Security - where we don’t disclose operational security even if it’s not classified. That’s kind of what I meant by the SEC of State’s position’s email. Nearly everything these people write about and read about is about things that we don’t want our adversaries to know. Nation’s spy on us to glean that information. That’s what is unbelievably stupid. None of this Clinton modus operandi makes any sense on any level.
