That doesn’t explain why Clinton, a classifying authority, had Mills and other remove classifications before they gave them to Clinton to email. By the nature of the job it is incumbent of the SoS to recognize and protect classified material - she IS a classifying authority remember. It is also true that having such material - whether marked or no - is no excuse for not recognizing the materiel as sensitive and classified, like for instance (SAP) the Order of Battle in the event the US and Israel invaded Iran, or the disposition and IMAGES of North Korean missile batteries.

There is no excuse or justification, no matter how tortured, which exonerates or in any way mitigates her.

You misunderstand me if I've led you to think I'm offering excuses for HRC. I agree completely with everything you said. But all of Washington is acting like this is just HRC acting in isolation or, at most, just assisted by her staff. Everyone who had email dealings with HRC as SoS knew that she was breaking the law in a very serious way. They are all in it up to their necks. HRC, Mills, Abedin-Weiner, Blumenthal should be hanged as traitors. Anyone communicating classified material to clintonemail.com should receive maximum sentences based on the harshest interpretation of their willful violations.

It is so much more efficient than advertising Madeline Albright’s lost laptop so the enemy could put a bounty on it.
