From Comey's testimony:
Chaffetz: IS IT REASONABLE OR UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT HILLARY CLINTON WOULD RECEIVE AND SEND CLASSIFIED INFORMATION?
Come: AS SECRETARY OF STATE, REASONABLE THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD ENCOUNTER CLASSIFIED INFORMATION IN THE COURSE OF THE SECRETARY'S WORK.
Chaffetz: VIA E-MAIL?
Comey: SURE. DEPENDING UPON THE NATURE OF THE SYSTEM. TO COMMUNICATE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A CLASSIFIED RATED E-MAIL SYSTEM.
Chaffetz: BUT YOU DID FIND MORE THAN 100 E-MAILS THAT WERE CLASSIFIED THAT HAD GONE THROUGH THAT SERVER CORRECT?
Comey: THROUGH AN UNCLASSIFIED SERVER CORRECT.

I'm not blaming Hillary for this, I'm blaming whomever on her staff introduced classified information to an unclassified system. But she needs to acknowledge that even though it was unintentional on her part, she did in fact receive and send emails that contained classified information.
