I have posted several times the law of classified information handling is comprehensive and inflexible. This document is the basis for that statement. It is the same document that cornered General Petraeus.

Hillary Clinton Signed NDA Laying Out Criminal Penalties for Mishandling of Classified InfoWashington Free Beacon‎ - 14 hours ago

As the nation’s chief diplomat, Hillary Clinton was responsible for ascertaining whether information in her possession was classified and acknowledged that “negligent handling” of that information could jeopardize national security, according to a copy of an agreement she signed upon taking the job.
A day after assuming office as secretary of state, Clinton signed a Sensitive Compartmented Information Nondisclosure Agreement that laid out criminal penalties for “any unauthorized disclosure” of classified information.
Experts have guessed that Clinton signed such an agreement, but a copy of her specific contract, obtained by the Competitive Enterprise Institute through an open records request and shared with the Washington Free Beacon, reveals for the first time the exact language of the NDA.
“I have been advised that the unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent handling of SCI by me could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation,” the agreement states.
Clinton received at least two emails while secretary of state on her personal email server since marked “TS/SCI”—top secret/sensitive compartmented information—according to the U.S. intelligence community’s inspector general.
The State Department said in September that Clinton’s private email system, set up at her Chappaqua, N.Y., home, was not authorized to handle SCI.
The Democratic presidential frontrunner defended her unauthorized possession of SCI and her sending of emails containing classified information by claiming that the information was not marked as classified when it was sent or received.
The language of her NDA suggests it was Clinton’s responsibility to ascertain whether information shared through her private email server was, in fact, classified. . . .

The FBI will make that decision, and their thinking is not much different from the view reflected in the OP.

IIRC, the crux of the legal matter lay upon whether the material was indeed classified after she sent it using her private server or private account...because if it wasn't classified at the time that she sent it, then she is not guilty of any wrongdoing.

And IIRC, all the previous SEVEN investigations have shown no wrongdoing by her.

But I get it - if Hillary's accused of something, anything at all, then she must be just as guilty as Bill was in everything he was ever accused of. But then, he was only guilty of having sex with someone not his wife. Maybe y'all will have better luck if you start investigating whether she's had sex with one of her brawny bodyguards.

Completely off base. The point is that she's now crossways with the clear and inflexible law governing the handling of classified information.

It is allowed for the FBI to mislead subjects of an investigation. Moreover, the investigation leads where it will.
 
Wash. Post: Officials Say Clinton "Is Not A Target" Of FBI Probe. The Washington Post reported that government officials said Clinton is "not a target" of the FBI's investigation:


Hillary Rodham Clinton's attorney has agreed to provide the FBI with the private server that housed her e-mail during her four years as secretary of state, Clinton's presidential campaign said Tuesday.

[...]

The inquiry by the FBI is considered preliminary and appears to be focused on ensuring the proper handling of classified material. Officials have said that Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, is not a target.

The FBI's efforts have included contacting the Denver-based technology firm that helped manage the Clintons' unusual private *e-mail system. [The Washington Post, 8/11/15]

Denial is comforting but almost always comes to a bad end. You apparently have no idea how stern is this area of US law.
 
Jack Hays said:
Since it was on her server I would guess yes, but the FBI will make that determination.

Wrong answer, Jack - you've got to show that she improperly sent classified information AFTER it was classified. The fact that it was on her server when it was deemed classified does not implicate her in the least - after all, if you've got information on your private computer and the government suddenly deems it classified, does that mean that you are suddenly guilty of mishandling classified information? No. It just means that the information is suddenly classified...and so is that hard drive, because it's got classified information on it.

NOW, if you want to ping her on something, if she wrongfully allowed others access to the information on that hard drive, or if she sent classified information from that hard drive AFTER it was classified, then you might have something.

But until then, she's innocent.

Please refer to the OP.

The Democratic presidential frontrunner defended her unauthorized possession of SCI and her sending of emails containing classified information by claiming that the information was not marked as classified when it was sent or received.
The language of her NDA suggests it was Clinton’s responsibility to ascertain whether information shared through her private email server was, in fact, classified. . . .

Some hyper political minion is doing that.

But no matter, BHO's cabinet will not sacrifice Hillary. She is the DNC's best chance at become POTUS.

On the contrary, the smart money is on uber-confidant Valerie Jarrett. The BHO WH would very much prefer that Joe Biden would be the candidate rather than Hillary. He's a more reliable guardian of the legacy. Why do you think his withdrawal from the race looked so much like an announcement of his candidacy?

I posted this in another thread and was told it was a partisan web site, so I gave them another one... Hillary signed State Department contract saying it was HER job to know if documents were classified top secret, and laid out criminal penalties for 'negligent handling'
