I never said that she didn't send or receive classified data during her 4 year appointment.  I know she worked out of her office a lot, so I don't think this is a problem.  We are talking about electronic transmissions of classified data.  It would not have been out of the question for her to have a classified server to receive and send classified, and it would not be out of the question for her to have it at her house, if she had a room that met security specifications.  Yes, this does happen in DC among high level officials.  I have known people that had secure lines in their house.  The government gets to inspect it and approve it.  They also can have a safe in their house, that is inspected and approved by security officials to keep classified data in. 

But I am concluding from what is being said is that her server was not classified.  As I have said, I have not paid a great deal of attention to this, because I'm 95% certain that this investigation will not result in her being charged or prosecuted.  As I say, I predict that if anything comes of this, she might be fined, but it will be after the election.  And I believe this because the Democrats don't have anyone else to run.  And I am not defending Hilary or saying she didn't do anything wrong.  I'm not going to vote for her. 

Yes, I agree that if she knowingly had classified data on her server, or if she told her staff to remove the marking on a classified document in order to send it to her in an unclassified environment, she should be prosecuted - however, the FBI will have to make a case how national security was, in fact, harmed by her actions.  And that can be very hard to prove.  I wish this stuff was all as cut and dried as you all seem to think.  And if Fox News is leading you to conclude that, well shame on them.  That is likely why it the investigation is taking so long. 

 And yes, I believe the well meaning retired Officer may have inadvertently committed a security violation because what he is discussing is classified and even the existnce of such things is classifed and never publicly acknowledged..  And even if the press talks about it, doesn't mean it isn't classified.
