There is no law saying she cannot transport classified information in her personal car. There is no law saying she cannot transport classified information in a jet airliner. There is no law saying she cannot store classified information at her personals residence. And last, there is no law that says she cannot transmit classified information over an email server.
The original laws about classified information were written at the end of WWII in the late 1940s. This was back when classified information was written on paper. These laws were never meant to be applied to email.
From your article:
The two investigators did not say whether Mrs. Clinton sent or received the emails. If she received them, it is not clear that she would have known that they contained government secrets, since they were not marked classified.
It's entirely possible she didn't know any of this was classified, and then you can argue most of this has been classified after the fact.
Again, with intelligence matters, they look at intent and damage. There was no bad intention, and there was no damage. All we are doing with this case is making is too damn complicated to get anything done - The next time someone in the State Department needs to send an email they'll need to speak to a team of attorney's first.
But of course this is only the first investigation. We'll have to have nine more before it's done.
