Intelligence community agents signed depositions that they found some emails that contained classified information at the time of transmission - not retroactive. So they have some evidence of that.
Hillary had no .gov email address so she couldn't use the secure system herself. So for Hillary's position to be plausible, you have to imagine that in four years as Secretary of State, she never sent or received a classified email. That's pretty incredible to believe, isn't it.
Hillary's non-disclosure agreement outlines her responsibilities and the criminal laws she must obey with respect to classified information. So she cannot claim she didn't know.
And even if the above wasn't true and they hadn't found emails that sent classified information at the time of transmission, Hillary had to know:
a) a bunch of emails from foreigners were "born classified" (see Reuters article:
Exclusive: Dozens of Clinton emails were classified from the start, U.S. rules suggest
- try to imagine, Hillary never getting a "born classified" email during her four years as Secretary of State. Part of Hillary's deception is to avoid public contemplation of that ...
b) a bunch of her emails were likely to be retroactively classified
And the problem with the prior paragraph is that her setup with her server at home meant that even if she adhered to policy and procedure on classified material perfectly when it came to emails she generated, her setup was susceptible to "born classified" emails from foreigners and her setup exposed emails that would be retroactively classified.
When one is in possession of classified materials in their home:
When Bill Clinton Pardoned His Former CIA Director over Classified Documents on His Home Computer
not even the Director of the CIA can get away with it without being convicted of a criminal charge. Explain to me how Hillary avoids that - she had classified material on her server in her home that she was not authorized to have and her setup led to inevitably.
They have not had 100s of FBI agents and Intelligence Community agents and two Inspector Generals on this for months for no reason. The Justice Department doesn't offer someone immunity not does that someone's lawyer ask for immunity for no reason.
Laws have been broken and they're assessing the damage and who is accountable.
Hillary has been lying about this since the get go. She claimed it was for convenience of using one device when she used two. She claimed it was to protect the privacy of her emails with Bill ... when we then found out Bill doesn't email. etc.
