This completely (and conveniently) ignores the fact that these emails were not thus classified until AFTER the fact -- same as was recently done to emails by others before her (including a couple of Republicans) who, as I understand it, also maintained private servers.
RealLindaL, you really need to consider some sources who will give you the real world.
Hillary Clinton said she received the same training as anyone with security clearances in the State Department. That is to how to identify confidential information and how it must be handled. NOTHING has to be stamped, marked or whatever to be confidential. Hillary Clinton originated confidential emails. How were they to be marked?
You also suffer under the shroud of MORE misinformation. Republicans may have had PRIVATE EMAIL ACCOUNTS, but they did NOT have insecure servers hidden from the government.
There can be only one reason to have your own private server, hidden from the government who employs you. You know you are going to be carrying on illegal activities and your intent is to keep evidence about those activities secret. What other reason?
What other reason is there for going to the trouble and expense of setting up a private server for the sole purpose of keeping your correspondence secret from the government, for which you work, secret? Other than you KNOW you are going to be carrying on illegal activities?
