NSA told her not to use her Blackberry, and when they refused to clone an Obama phone for her, she talked to to her lawyer and okayed the switchover from an ATT email to Clintonemail.com. That became manifestly illegal the moment the first classified message traversed the server, and that outcome was foreseeable by any reasonable person.
She even encouraged Blumenthal to "keep 'em coming" when he sent her information he identified as foreign government sourced, and forwarded them to others. Some of these messages were NSA and CIA sourced information illegally taken directly off the most highly classified Interagency System.
She was trained to recognize classified information, and knew she was supposed to report its mishandling or unauthorized transmission by others, but continued to continence repeated and systematic security breaches by others on her network. Sorry, that is a violation of felony law, 18 USC Sec. 793(f), to be precise.
