Apparently there are some people who still don't know what a fucking server is. I even heard that twat face, Mr. Tingler, Chris Mathews, say that what Hillary did analogous to keeping a Gmail account.
A server is a piece of hardware in which data is stored. If you email over a particular server, then that email, that data, originates in that machine. All email communications go through that machine.
Hillary had a private server sitting offsite from the State Department. It was created and installed by private contractors not sanctioned by the State Department. The State Department never approved of official State Department business being conducted over this server.
Hillary unilaterally decided that she would receive and disseminate both classified and non-classified material and data over her unsanctioned server. The fact that an email is marked "classified" or not is clearly irrelevant notwithstanding comments to the contrary, as it is reasonably foreseeable that materials that are not classified today may become classified at a later date. Even Hillary argues this double edged sword. The difference is that a Secretary KNOWS this. She knew that she would be receiving info that, if not currently marked "classified" may become classified as some other time.
We know that Hillary has classified and top secret info on her server and that it got there by virtue of emails directed to her personal server. HER PERSONAL SERVER IS THE PERSONSAL PROPERTY OF HILLARY CLINTON.
The analogy is this: a State Department employee takes some files not overtly marked "classified" home with him. These files contain info on, say, Al Qaida in Libya, or the state of affairs in Benghazi, or where to eat in Benghazi....whatever. The employer takes these files home and places them in his own personal file cabinet in his office at home. This employed does not "know" if the files' contents are classified. However, he DOES have reason to know that the contents may become classified, especially with what all is going on in and around Libya.
The employee decides he will photocopy the contents of these files. He does so then he creates his own mirror file. He returns the original file to the State Department and retains an identical file at home, in his own personal file cabinet.
We then engage Libya in a military action. We "lead from behind", of course. The State Department then decides that everything related to Benghazi will be classified (probably to thwart FOIA requests).
So now we have a State Department employee with classified data sitting at his house in his own personal file cabinet. The State Department does not know about this and the employee does not bother to say anything about it. Does this violate the law?
What Hillary did was the exact same thing. Keeping classified info on your private server is the exact same thing as keeping hard copies of classified documents in a personal file cabinet. It is illegal because Hillary knew or should have known that she could be receiving classified data, whether it was marked that way or not.
It is absolutely absurd to think that the State Department, CIA, or whoever, would approve of data handling measures that result in classified information floating around in an uncontrolled way. Again, Hillary knew this, yet CHOSE to disregard such a basic principle.
Let's not forget that this is not the first time that Hillary has decided to take home confidential and sensitive information. There was also those times when Bill was President where the FBI files on political opponents showed up in the White House. Gee, how did that happen? Oh, and the time that the Rose Law Firm billing records showed up in Hillary's possession. "Oops, I done it again!", Hillary must have thought. Remember when Clinton pal, Leon Panetta, was caught stealing classified documents from the CIA?
Are you starting to see a pattern here?
Hillary was inappropriately and illegally exercising control of state department data. None of it, classified or not, has any business being stored on a private server. The fact that it is reasonably foreseeable that data may become classified yet you still decide to house it on your private server, thereby negligently exposing it to risk and compromising American security, is a violation of the federal espionage act and is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Yet, here is Hillary, laughing it up and saying it is all just to fuck with her poll numbers. It is almost certainly a sign of the end of our constitutional republic when there exists such a thin line between President and felon.
