This is an email that was subsequently marked classified.
a) It's about Sudan - information about foreign nations is supposed to be classified automatically
b) "Intel" ... if that's short for Intelligence - that's also supposed to be classified automatically

Hillary whines about the retroactive classification of her emails that in fact should have been blatantly classified from the outset.

Why Hillary’s EmailGate Matters
All this angers Americans with experience in our military and intelligence services who understand what Ms. Clinton and her staff did—and that they would be held to far harsher standards for attempting anything similar. They know that brave Americans have given their lives protecting Top Secret Codeword information. They know that in every American embassy around the world, our diplomatic outposts that worked for Hillary Clinton, Marine guards have standing orders to fight to the death to protect the classified information that’s inside those embassies. That Hillary Clinton gave similar information away, by choice, is something she needs to explain if she expects to be our next Commander-in-Chief.


As commander in chief, how does Hillary order folks to protect classified information with a straight face.

Either she's hopelessly clueless on the subject or so removed from reality for so long, she doesn't feel the rules apply to her. I'm not sure there is a door #3 for this, it's so blatant.

This article goes into depth on how Clinton's server was likely compromised and why Gates said that places like China and Russia probably have contents from her server (which was not encrypted for much of her time as Secretary of State)

When all the details of this story come out, and people reflect on how much Hillary deceived by playing down what really happened to protect her campaign, folks are going to be pretty outraged.
