"Hillary Clinton can't be held responsible for forwarding emails through her private server if they weren't marked as being classified, Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz said Thursday ..."

“the questions remain about why the former secretary of state, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, did not know.”
By George that is a very good question? What are Secretaries suppose to know anyway? “Who’s in charge here?” Not me.
BS.
As the Secretary she was responsible under 39 CFR for all information security systems including hardware.
She was the freaking Secretary. Top dog. El jeffe. In charge.
Ignorance of the rules is implausible.
Clinton May Not Be Legally Liable for Server.As if we didn't already know that...
While defense contractors have derivative classification authority, only able to create new documents based on the classification of source material, Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State probably counts as an original classifier - the reports and correspondence on many topics would be classified as she or her subordinates chose or based on government criteria regarding sensitivity.
On that basis, much of what she generated was sensitive and classified simply because it was related to her job.
I would categorize that as certainly rather than probably. But you raise a good point. Perhaps it's another FR originating idea that will slowly make it's way onto some of the blogs and tertiary media outlets that farm FR for ideas.

I'm no longer surprised to hear about Pedophile Island...
That is why Hillary had her underlings remove any markings that said classified or higher.
Parsing words do not alleviate / remove responsibility. Obviously the metadata will show the level of the security classification of the email which shows the intent to deceive, so to say that she has no responsibility is again parsing. a criminal act, after the fact is still a criminal act and culpability still remains with the holder of the material... to include her mouth piece holding a "flash drive" with secure / TS email traffic.
That idiot Braddly Manning is sitting in the brig for a similar act and these clowns would have you believe that every one in DC is above the law... and we let them get away with it.
Hillary didn’t sign exit documents when she left office.

She probably got away with not signing many other docs too.
Actually he is wrong. If you have access to classified information and disseminate it in whole or in part to uncleared people then you are guilty of a crime.
