123. Hillary knew some of those e-mails were marked classified when she sent them

Wed May 4, 2016, 02:40 PM

May 2016

or authorized them to be sent over a non-approved system, and this wasn't just one or two e-mails everything that went through her server was not authorized by the SCI.

Hillary didn't bother to attend security briefings regarding the classified transmittal of information that were specifically set up for her.

Hillary tried to get a specially secured blackberry such as the one President Obama has when that was denied she still used it without regards to the risk of hacking or interception.

When all this is said and done, Hillary may only get a "slap on the wrist" from the DOJ but she did President Obama no favors with her actions.

Only time the FBI investigation, and DOJ followup will determine the level of Hillary's culpability but I see nothing encouraging from her actions.
