Everyone, meaning all who has ever worked with classified material, is totally on to this specious bit of deceptive parsing.
Classified material is marked with the appropriate classification, not..."Classified".

(Proofreading is highly overrated.)
And some of the material may be un-marked. If Hillary has a secret conversation with a foreign leader, and wants to e-mail the high points to her staff, she originates secret material.
She knows this.

This is horrible parsing and, I believe, in a court of law, would be considered perjurous.
If you take an appropriately marked classified document and simply type the contents into say, and email or attached document to send out on a non-secure system without including the original classification markers, you have committed a crime.

Exactly right. The term "Classified" is a general term encompassing specific categories of classification markings such as "Confidential", "Secret" "Top Secret", etc. The only place you will see a document stamped with the word "Classified" is on TV or in the movies. This is Hillary's version of "it depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is."
