(509 posts)is her unbelievably stupid move on the private server. The law is the law, and she had classified material on an non-certified server set up without the appropriate safeguards, let alone to the standard needed as one of the highest officials in Washington. By the State Departments own count, over 1000 emails have been deemed classified. The test is when they were classified. If after they were received or sent, an argument could be made that there is no harm or foul. However, some interpretations of the regulations concerning items from foreign governments are created classified, regardless of whether marked or not. I do know that if a regular Joe Schmoe enlisted slime or low level State Dept employee did this, the clearance would be pulled immediately, and he'd be looking at 10 years or so in the pen.
But for political elite, such as Mrs. Clinton, Sandy Berger, Bud McFarlane, and others, the rules are different. I personally think she didn't do it intentionally, but I do believe she is guilty of violating national security regulations and should be punished accordingly. This would, of course, remove her from contention in the election.
