None of it was marked classified at the time it was sent or received by Hillary. SunSeeker Jul 2016 #88

It doesn't matter whether it was marked classified or not SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2016 #89

Being marked classified does matter. SunSeeker Jul 2016 #90

No problem SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2016 #92

No, none were marked classifed. That is not what Comey said. nt SunSeeker Jul 2016 #93

The quote I used is from Comey SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2016 #94
