After examining the server, the FBI said that there was nothing illegal that went on with her server, just that she was a bit careless.
And, I handled classified material from 1982 until 2002 as part of my duties as a PN. All documents that were considered classified were clearly marked at the top and bottom of the page with large stamps. If it came in on the radio traffic, there were boxes printed at the top and bottom of the message that stated the classification.
(C) When the emails in question were shown on the news, the classification markings were nothing like I've ever seen. Just a "c" in parens at the beginning of a paragraph. If this post were an email, this paragraph would be considered classified just because of the "c" at the beginning.
While she may have been a bit careless, even the FBI said that there was no wrongdoing.
During their exchange, Comey admitted that Clinton, despite her claims of innocence, shared classified information from multiple devices and failed to turn over all of her work-related emails after she was ordered to do so.
GOWDY: Good morning, Director Comey. Secretary Clinton said she never sent or received classified information over her private e-mail. Was that true?
COMEY: Our investigation found that there was classified information sent —
GOWDY: So it was not true?
COMEY: That’s what I said.
GOWDY: OK. Well, I’m looking for a little shorter answer so you and I are not here quite as long. Secretary Clinton said there was not marked classified on her e-mails either sent or received, was that true?
COMEY: That’s not true. There were a small number of portion markings on I think three of the documents.
GOWDY: Secretary Clinton said ‘I did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail, there is no classified material.’ Was that true?
COMEY: There was classified material e-mail.
GOWDY: Secretary Clinton said she used just one device. Was that true?
COMEY: She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as secretary of State.
GOWDY: Secretary Clinton said all work-related e-mails were returned to the State Department. Was that true?
COMEY: No. We found work-related e-mails, thousands that were not returned.
GOWDY: Secretary Clinton said neither she nor anyone else deleted work-related e-mails from her personal account. Was that true?
COMEY: That’s a harder one to answer. We found traces of work related e-mails in — on devices or slack space, whether they were deleted or whether when a server was changed out something happened to them. There’s no doubt that the work-related e-mails that were removed electronically from the — the e-mail system.
GOWDY: Secretary Clinton said her lawyers read every one of the e-mails and were overly inclusive. Did her lawyers read the e-mail content individually?
COMEY: No.
In a later exchange with Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) Comey said Clinton wasn’t sophisticated enough to understand what information was classified and what wasn’t.
