Technically, she is correct. But only because, as Secretary of State, she was the Classifying AUTHORITY and wasn’t doing her JOB.

That is correct. The creator of classified information is supposed to choose the classification. That is usually inferred from the source if the information is a synthesis of existing material, and from the definitions and guidelines if the material is an entirely new creation. As Secretary of State, she could argue that she mishandled her responsibilities for choosing the proper classification rather than mishandling classified materials. I'm not sure that is any better politically.
