Someone once faxed me TS/SRD/CNWDI and it was up to ME to resolve it. I could not just shred it and ignore it, I had to go to Security and The Powers That Be to clear it all up.

Does not matter how the documents got into her possession. Possession itself is punishable - when it comes to various clearances and who has seen or has possession is very serious and no one fools around - there are no innocents.
If her server and email account has such documents on them, then she is in violation for each offense, and answerable to various federal codes all of which include prison time, and one which bars her from any federal office.
All of this looks very bleak for her, but to most LIVs this is in the weeds and can be dismissed. Its not like she B-slapped Kim Kardashian or something horrible.
Her team is busy making sure that rule changes at voting places are changed to allow maximum voter fraud, so any possible recriminations will not amount to a hill of beans - no pun intended.

It could turnout that the safest place for Hillary is in some max security wing of some Federal prison ...
