Clinton has made many assurances in recent months that she did not send or receive classified information on her personal server. Her campaign says the material in question had not been specifically marked as classified and, thus, Clinton broke no rules. The inspector general disputed that characterization in a statement late Friday, saying that the information in the emails was classified at the time, even if it wasn’t marked as such, and shouldn’t have been transmitted on a personal email system.

Hillary was the Secretary of State. She should have known that her conversations with Blumenthal about events in Libya contained sensitive information that would be classified, whether they were "marked" as such or not.
